AdBlue is a liquid solution used in modern diesel engines to reduce harmful nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions. It is a mixture of urea and deionized water injected into the exhaust system of a diesel vehicle. When heated, AdBlue breaks down into ammonia, which then reacts with the NOx emissions in the catalytic converter, converting them into harmless nitrogen and water vapor. This helps reduce the environmental impact of diesel engines by lowering their emissions.
When the AdBlue fluid is used, it is injected into the exhaust gases, where it reacts with the harmful nitrogen oxides. This helps convert the NOx into harmless nitrogen and water vapor.
Over time, however, the AdBlue fluid can run out. Many vehicles have a warning system that indicates when the AdBlue fluid is low. It’s important to refill the AdBlue fluid in a timely manner to ensure the SCR system remains functional and meets emissions standards.
If the AdBlue fluid runs out completely, the vehicle may not start or you may experience a loss of power until the AdBlue fluid is refilled.
It is important to top up the AdBlue fluid according to the manufacturer’s instructions to ensure proper functioning of the SCR system and to comply with emission standards.
