Abstract

$NO_X$ reducing technique such as LNT, LNC, and selective catalytic reduction (SCR) have been developed and applied, especially on heavy-duty vehicles. However, it is expected that $NO_X$ reduction techniques will also be applied to diesel passenger vehicles. The urea-SCR system is receiving attention as the most effective $NO_X$ reduction technology without a fuel penalty. Thus, many advanced countries are developing this technology. The urea-SCR system sprays an aqueous urea solution that separates $NO_X$ into $N_2$ and $H_2O$, which are harmless and emitted into the atmosphere. The urea injected in front of the SCR catalyst should be changed to 100％ $NH_3$, which is required for $NO_X$ reduction in the SCR system to maximize the reduction efficiency. The purpose of this study was to determine the basic data for the urea-SCR system to maximize the $NO_X$ reduction efficiency by understanding the $NO_X$ reduction characteristics in a real passenger vehicle to comply with the post EURO-6 emission regulation.

LNT(Lean $NO_X$ Trap), LNC(Lean $NO_X$ Catalyst), SCR(Selective Catalytic Reduction)과 같은 $NO_X$ 저감기술은 상용차뿐만이 아닌 승용차량 성능향상을 위해 지속적으로 개발이 진행되고 있다. 특히 Urea-SCR 시스템은 연료손실 없이 이론상 100%에 가깝게 $NO_X$를 저감하는 가장 효과적인 기술로 환원반응으로 배기가스를 $N_2$와 $H_2O$로 배출하기 위해 환원제인 요소수를 분사해야한다. 하지만 엔진에서와는 달리 실제차량에서의 적용은 SCR 효율이 떨어지게 된다. 따라서 실제차량에서의 SCR 효율을 극대화하는 기술 개발이 요구되고 있는 실정이다. 본 연구에서는, Post EURO-6 배기가스 규제에 대응하기 위한 디젤승용차량에서의 Urea-SCR의 $NO_X$ 저감 성능에 의한 저감효율의 극대화를 목적으로 실차용 Urea-SCR 시스템 위한 기초자료로 제시하고자 한다.
