Volvo Penta chooses SCR for its Tier 4 Final solution

Volvo Penta now offers Tier 4 Final emissions-compliant engines from 106-523kW. The range comes in 5-, 8-, 11-, 13- and 16litre capacities and suits a host of off-road applications, including material handling, construction, quarrying and mining.

Volvo Penta’s D8 engine is one of five in a range that only requires SCR after-treatment to achieve Tier 4 Final emissions.
783 Volvo Penta now offers Tier 4 Final emissions-compliant engines from 106-523kW. The range comes in 5-, 8-, 11-, 13- and 16litre capacities and suits a host of off-road applications, including material handling, construction, quarrying and mining.

Achieving Tier 4 Final emissions sees Volvo Penta opting for selective catalytic reduction (SCR) technology. The system performs without regeneration or a diesel particulate filter making it a simpler, more versatile and a less costly option for customers, said the company.

To meet Tier 4 Final Volvo Penta redesigned the selective catalytic reduction (SCR) technology already installed in its Tier 4 Interim engines. With SCR technology, a diesel exhaust fluid is injected into the exhaust and reacts with harmful nitrogen oxide (NOx) in the catalytic converter to become nitrogen and water.

Since NOx is created at high temperatures, a light exhaust gas recirculation (light EGR) further contributes to reducing NOx in the Volvo Penta range by lowering the engine’s peak combustion temperature.

    Engine manufacturers have had to jump through regulatory hoops in recent years, meeting requirements for diesels with ever cleaner exhaust emissions. When this programme was first proposed, many believed the final aims could not be achieved. However on January 1st 2011, the Tier 4 Interim/Stage IIIB emissions regulations will come into force in North America and Europe and all the major diesel manufacturers will have suitable products at the ready. The Tier 4 Interim/Stage IIIB emissions regulations require

    Hyundai Heavy Industries is showcasing its new Robex 9A series of excavators – six crawler excavators and three wheeled excavators – all of which have engines that meet the Tier 4 Interim/EU-Stage IIIB standards on engine emissions. Hyundai has elected to use exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) technology – rather than liquid urea – to meet the emissions targets. “We have full automatic DPF regeneration, which is a big advantage,” said Hyundai product engineer Joachim Van de Perre. “It means that all the items
