Technology’s TDI clean diesel is very complex. A high level version of the system common rail injection with 2000 bar of pressure, new Sensors Combustion chamber and a high-performance exhaust recirculating system ensures a process highly efficient Combustion. A creative DeNOx catalytic reduction, the remaining nitrogen oxides conversion. Just upstream of it, a pump injects a name AdBlue into hot exhaust flow, this solution decomposes into ammonia, which Split the nitrogen oxides into harmless nitrogen and water.
