Emissions aftertreatment system (EATS)
General
SCR technology (Selective Catalytic Reduction) is used to meet statutory exhaust requirements.
Diesel engines with even more efficient combustion in combination with exhaust gas aftertreatment, result in
considerably reduced emissions of nitrous oxides and particulate matter.
SCR technology is based on treating the exhaust gases by adding an AdBlue solution. The solution is injected into the
exhaust gases before they pass through the catalytic converter. This additive causes nitrous oxides to be converted
into nitrogen gas and steam, substances that occur naturally in our environment.
The diesel engines have been developed for more efficient levels of combustion and its engine control unit calculates
the optimal amount of AdBlue solution to be injected in relation to current load and engine speed.

IMPACT 3.0 Monday, 24 October 2016
The new EU emission requirements mean a drastic reduction in the emission of particulates (PM) and nitrous oxides
(NOx).
Principle solution

2 / 31
Main components
SCR exhaust gas cleaning is a simple system with few components: AdBlue tank (1), pump unit (2), dosing unit (3) and
a silencer (4) with built-in SCR catalytic converter.
Principle solution
The AdBlue solution is atomised and injected into the exhaust gases before the catalytic converter (5). Precise injection
is controlled by the EMS (Engine Management System) which guarantees the optimal reduction of emissions in all
operating conditions.
The heat in the exhaust system breaks down AdBlue into ammonia and carbon dioxide. Ammonia is the active
substance and the key ingredient in the chemical process which takes place in the catalytic converter, in which nitrogen
oxides (NOx) are converted into a harmless mix of nitrogen and water vapour. This chemical reaction takes place at
temperatures above 200C.
Component identification

3 / 31
A label is attached to the bottom of the pump unit for identification.
Warning
When a pump is being replaced, make sure the new pump is designed for the current vehicle.

4 / 31
The dosage unit and pump unit are available in different versions. The different versions may not be marked at all or
may be marked differently (see the illustration).
Caution
When replacing components, the pump unit's and dosing unit's markings must match each other.

5 / 31
Variants
The SCR system is available in two versions:
With electric cooling control valve earlier variant

Without electric cooling control valve later variant
As the systems differ, both variants are sometimes described in the document.

The entire SCR system is controlled by the MID128 engine control unit (EECU Engine Electronic Control Unit),
which communicates via a separate control unit MID233 for the AdBlue dosing system.
Normal operation with electric cooling control valve

The control unit (8) receives a signal from the AdBlue tank level sensor (2) that the AdBlue solution is above the set
minimum level. The control unit activates the flow direction valve (10) and starts the pump (4) which draws the AdBlue
solution from the tank (1) through the filter (9) and flow direction valve (10). The pump then forces the AdBlue solution
through the flow direction valve to the AdBlue filter (5) and onto the dosing unit (13) on the silencer.
When a number of criteria have been met (such as pressure sensor (6) detecting the working pressure in the AdBlue
dosing system has reached approximately 5 bar) the engine control unit sends a signal about the AdBlue volume to the
control unit (8) which opens dosing valve (13). The AdBlue solution is injected into the exhaust pipe before the silencer
with its built-in SCR catalytic converter (15). At the same time the coolant control valve (11) is opened and the excess
AdBlue solution is fed back to the tank.
The high exhaust gas temperature breaks down the AdBlue and a chemical reaction takes place in the catalytic
converter which transforms the gases into harmless nitrogen and water. The NO x sensor (16) measures the nitrogen
oxide (NOx) content in the exhaust gases. If the approved emissions level is not maintained, a warning lamp lights in
the instrument panel and a fault code is stored in the engine control unit.
The task of the exhaust gas temperature sensor (14) is to measure the exhaust gas temperature in the catalytic
converter so that the correct amount of AdBlue solution is added to the exhaust gases.
Since the AdBlue solution is temperature-sensitive, the AdBlue tank is heated by a heating loop containing engine
coolant in the tank. The hoses to and from the tank are heated electrically and there is additional insulation around the
hose connections. A temperature sensor (3) continuously monitors the temperature of the AdBlue solution and signals
the control unit (8) if the temperature falls below 10C. The control unit then activates solenoid valve which opens and
allows hot engine coolant to pass through the AdBlue tank heating loop. When the circulating AdBlue solution reaches
a temperature of 15C the temperature sensor (3) sends a signal to the control unit (8) which closes the solenoid valve
and shuts off the heating.
If the system detects a fault that affects the injection, a warning lamp (OBD) is lit and a fault code is stored in the
engine electronic control unit memory.
If the fault results in the circulation of AdBlue solution being shut off, a warning lamp (CHECK) is also lit

If the AdBlue solution is not replenished the level sensor (2) in the tank sends a signal that closes the dosing valve
(13). Injection of AdBlue solution into the exhaust pipe ceases.
The cooling control valve (11) is opened and the remaining AdBlue solution in the tank is allowed to circulate and cool
the dosing valve. A warning lamp (the OBD symbol) lights in the instrument panel

and warning text indicates that the AdBlue tank is empty.

A fault code is stored in the engine electronic control unit memory.
When the AdBlue solution is topped up, the OBD lamp and the fault message go out, but the fault code is saved and
can be accessed using the diagnostic instrument.
Normal shut down with electric cooling control valve
AdBlue injection stopped
When the engine is switched off the current is switched off. The AdBlue pump stops and the pressure in the AdBlue
system drops. The control unit (8) closes the cooling control valve (11), opens the non-return valve (12) and closes the
dosing valve (13).
The control unit inactivates the flow direction valve (10), which through spring-pressure, switches to cross-flow. After
this, the control unit starts the pump and drains the AdBlue system (dosing system, return line, pressure line and filter)
and pumps the AdBlue solution back into the tank. The pressure sensor (6) sends a signal to the control unit when the
system has been drained.
The control unit also opens the dosing valve briefly to empty the dosing unit and any remaining AdBlue solution in the
injector runs out into the silencer.
9 / 31
This draining (after-run) takes place completely automatically and the complete shut-down sequence takes approx. 90
seconds. The system is drained of AdBlue solution and depressurised.
Note: Small amounts of AdBlue solution may remain in bends in the hoses etc., which is important to remember if the
hoses are to be disconnected.

Trucks approved for ADR

Trucks with ADR permission
ADR = Accord europen pour le transport de marchandises Dangereuses par Route
13 / 31
transport dangerous goods and for safety reasons there is a main circuit breaker for the electrical system in the cab. As
this also cuts off power to the AdBlue pump, it must not be used in the workshop when servicing without first pumping
out the AdBlue system in the normal way by switching off the ignition.
If the AdBlue system is not drained properly, the residual pressure in the hoses will spray out AdBlue solution if a hose
is disconnected. Another risk of residual AdBlue solution in hoses, is that the system can freeze and burst if the outside
temperature falls below -11C.
Warning
Avoid using the ADR switch before the AdBlue system has been drained, except in a case of emergency!
Tank
AdBlue solution is stored in a separate tank, located on the side of the vehicle, adjoining the diesel tank if possible.
Examples of the location of the AdBlue tank
The AdBlue solution tank is made of stainless steel or plastic and is available in various sizes.

14 / 31
Examples of the AdBlue tanks in stainless steel and plastic.
Both plastic and steel tanks are fitted with vents to equalise pressure changes. The earlier version of the plastic tank is
fitted with a level sensor on its rear edge (1) and a newer version has a float (2). The steel tank has a combined tank
unit with a float (2). All tanks have a underside with a drain plug so the AdBlue solution can be drained when
necessary, for example when cleaning, changing the level sensor, etc.
The tank unit's suction pipe is equipped with a strainer (3) to prevent particles from circulating round the system and
causing interference. This strainer should be checked and cleaned as necessary.

Heating the AdBlue solution

16 / 31
Heating the AdBlue solution
Since the AdBlue solution freezes at -11C, the tank is fitted with a heating loop carrying coolant from the engine. On
the frame, close to the tank, is a solenoid valve which regulates the flow of coolant. In addition, the hoses between the
tank and the pump unit are heated electrically and the hose connections have extra insulation.
AdBlue tank made of stainless steel or plastic with heating loop.

17 / 31
Location of solenoid valves on FM and FH vehicle
A temperature sensor sends a signal to the control unit, so that the pump cannot start until the AdBlue solution is liquid.
The standard system can be thawed out down to -40C. To prevent expansion damage in case of freezing, the AdBlue
system is drained when the ignition is switched off.
A return line and a suction line are connected between the AdBlue tank and the pump unit. The AdBlue tank's
combined temperature and level sensor is connected to the control unit, and the level sensor value can be read off
from the vehicle's instrument panel.
AdBlue consumption varies with driving conditions. A text message reminder to top up the tank is displayed when
approx. 10% of the effective tank volume remains. When there is approx. 5 litres of AdBlue solution left, the tank is
considered to be empty. If this occurs, a fault code is set in the engine control unit, and a warning text that the tank is
empty is displayed on the instrument panel.
If the AdBlue tank becomes empty while the vehicle is being driven, it will not damage the SCR system or the engine
as the remaining AdBlue solution circulates and cools the system. However, emissions increase when the dosing valve
is closed and the exhaust gases are not treated.
Note: It can be illegal to drive a vehicle without a functional exhaust processing system.
Filling AdBlue solution

18 / 31
Filling AdBlue solution
To prevent other liquids than AdBlue from being poured into the AdBlue tank by mistake, the tank mouth and tank hole
are designed so that they will not accept any other filling equipment.
Note: To avoid confusion when filling with diesel or AdBlue solution the AdBlue tank has a blue cap. A special AdBlue
label is also fixed to the AdBlue tank.
The filler caps for diesel and AdBlue solution are different sizes to further prevent confusion.
The AdBlue tank's filler pipe is equipped with a magnetic loop (1) which means that the filling nozzle only opens when it
detects the magnetic loop. On certain variants, the filler pipe is fitted with a strainer (2) to prevent particles from
circulating in the system and causing stoppages. This strainer should be checked and cleaned as necessary.
Take care not to fill the fuel tank with AdBlue solution when standard filling equipment is not being used. This will
contaminate the fuel and cause AdBlue solution to enter the injection system and combustion chambers, which can
damage the engine.
When filling AdBlue solution directly from an open container, be careful not to spill any as AdBlue solution will corrode
many materials.
Caution
Filling diesel, water, other liquids or other AdBlue solutions than Volvo specified AdBlue (ISO 22241-1) in the
AdBlue tank will cause a breakdown of the exhaust after-treatment system. Never start the engine if you have
filled anything other than pure AdBlue solution into the AdBlue tank!

19 / 31
AdBlue
Only Volvo approved AdBlue, conforming to ISO standard 222411 (previously DIN-70070) is to be used in the exhaust
aftertreatment system.
Caution
Using an AdBlue solution not approved by VOLVO will damage the aftertreatment system permanently. Engine
output will be negatively affected and other engine components also risk being damaged.
AdBlue consists of 32.5% urea crystals and 67.5% deionised water. It is a transparent, clear fluid with a faint smell of
ammonia. The fluid is not flammable, nor is it dangerous with normal handling. However, it is highly corrosive to metal,
particularly copper and aluminium. Read the separate section concerning the handling and spillage of AdBlue solution.
Note: AdBlue solution can cause some irritation if it comes into contact with skin.

Warning
When disconnecting hoses and components, do not spill AdBlue solution onto separated connectors. If this
occurs, replace the connectors immediately. Cleaning with water or compressed air will not help as the AdBlue
solution quickly oxidises metal and due to capillary action creeps along cabling at a speed of about 0.6
metres/hour.
Pump
Location of the pump unit on FM and FH vehicle
The electrically driven pump is a membrane pump. The following components are available as spare parts:
Temperature sensor

23 / 31
Pressure sensor
Control valve
Primary filter
Repair instructions can be found in Impact.
The pump starts when all the starting conditions are fulfilled.
The operating pressure of the pump is approximately 5 bar (500 kPa).
When the engine is switched off the pump drains the system of AdBlue solution, which is pumped back into the tank.
This takes about 90 seconds.
To protect the pump against speed wind in very cold conditions, a windshield plate is secured by quick-fastening
screws under the pump unit.
Filter housing
Filter housing
After the pump, the AdBlue solution passes through a filter housing located in the pump housing. This consists of a
paper filter (1) that removes dirt particles from the AdBlue solution. There are two porous rubber rings (2) on the filter
which protect the filter housing should the damp filter paper freeze in extreme cold. Replace the filter and rubber rings
as a spare part if necessary.
The strainer is sealed by an O-ring (3). The filter housing cap (4) has an insert-type, electrical heating element (5)
installed. This element is removed when changing the filter.

24 / 31
Before replacing the filter, wait 90 seconds before opening the filter housing cap, to allow time for the AdBlue solution
to be pumped back into the tank.
Note: The inlet to the pump unit contains a strainer (6) which is cleaned as necessary and changed if it becomes
damaged.
Cooling control valve

The SCR system is available in two versions:

On earlier variants, there is an electrically controlled cooling control valve placed in the pump housing. The cooling
control valve consists of two pipes with an electric valve (1) in one pipe and a non-return valve (2) in the other pipe.
The cooling control valve is also equipped with two heater elements (3) to prevent the AdBlue solution from freezing.
Later variants do not have a cooling control valve. Instead, they have a non-return valve with restriction placed in the
dosing unit. This non-return valve consists of a ball on a spring that is pressed against a seat. The ball does not close
completely against its seat but provides a restriction in the flow of AdBlue.
In the pump housing where the old cooling control valve was placed is now only a pipe. The appearance is almost
identical to the cooling control valve but without the electric control and without valves inside.
Control unit

25 / 31
Control unit and communication
The dosing unit control unit MID233 (DECU Dosage Electronic Control Unit) for the AdBlue dosing system consists
of a processor that communicates with the engine control unit MID128 (EECU).
The amount of AdBlue solution to be injected is controlled by the engine control unit using information from the dosing
control unit, i.e. the current values from the combined level and temperature sensor in the tank, the pressure sensor
and the temperature sensor in the pump unit, and the dosing valve located before the catalytic converter.
Diagnostics and programming take place via the vehicle's data link connector. VCADS Pro can be used to read out
fault codes from the system, for reprogramming and to run a number of tests on the dosing system. The system does
not need calibration.
Pump unit connector unit
Dosing unit

26 / 31
Dosing unit location
Dosing unit
Dosing of the AdBlue solution is carried out by a dosing unit installed at an angle of 30 degrees to the exhaust gas
flow. The dosing unit contains a dosing valve (injector) that injects AdBlue solution at 5 bar (500 kPa) pressure into the
exhaust gases before they reach the catalytic converter. The amount of AdBlue solution depends on the engine speed
and load and is electronically controlled by the engine management system (EMS). No injection takes place if the
temperature of the AdBlue solution is below 7 C or above 85 C.
27 / 31
The dosing valve is a PWM controlled (Pulse Width Modulation) solenoid valve. It is protected from the hot exhaust
gases by a heat shield and an air pocket. The metal body is also cooled by the circulating AdBlue solution at maximum
85C. The dosing unit is installed in such a way that its electrical connections are as far away from the exhaust gas
flow as possible.
The heat shield is labelled with the part number and a serial number. Using the part number, one can read from the
data sheet what is the maximum dosing amount that the injector can provide. There are three dosing units available
and are ordered according to engine size. They provide: 3 kg/h, 6 kg/h and 9 kg/h.
Note: The dosing unit is a sensitive component that should be handled carefully when installing and removing.
Since the AdBlue solution is temperature-sensitive it flows through hoses wound with electrically-heated copper loops
to and from the dosing unit. The hose connections are also fitted with additional insulation against the cold.
The inlet and outlet connections have quick-release couplings of different sizes to prevent incorrect connection.
Inlet = 8 mm (black) and outlet = 9.5 mm (black).
Checks of the dosing system are performed using VCADSPro
Note: When checking the dosing unit, avoid spilling AdBlue solution.
SCR catalytic converter
SCR catalytic converter
The exhaust gases are lead into the SCR catalytic converter built into the silencer. The catalytic converter consists of a
ceramic structure with many small channels coated with an active substance. Atomised AdBlue solution is injected into
the exhaust pipe before the silencer and mixes with the hot exhaust gases. The heat of the exhaust quickly
decomposes the AdBlue solution into ammonia and carbon dioxide. As the exhaust gases pass through the SCR
28 / 31
catalytic converter the reaction between the ammonia and nitrous oxides in the exhaust gases is accelerated and the
final product is harmless nitrogen and steam.
In the final section of the catalytic converter (clean up) is a platinum coating which handles non-reacted NH3 in order to
prevent a smell of ammonia in the exhaust gases.
The catalytic converter cannot be renovated or replaced as a separate item. The entire silencer assembly has to be
replaced if necessary. Externally fitted components such as the NOx sensor, dosing unit and temperature sensor can
be replaced.
AdBlue hoses
The AdBlue hoses are electrically heated by a thin wire wound around the hose. So as not to damage the heating
system, handle the hoses carefully. Do not twist or kink them.
Handling AdBlue solution
When handling AdBlue solution it is important that electrical connectors are connected or well encapsulated. Otherwise
there is a risk that AdBlue will cause oxidation that cannot be removed. Water or compressed air do not help, since
AdBlue quickly oxidises metal.
If a connector comes into contact with AdBlue solution it must be replaced immediately to prevent AdBlue solution from
creeping further into the copper wiring, which takes place at a speed of about 60 cm per hour.

29 / 31
Wrap disconnected connectors.
Advice when changing a pump unit or dosing unit
Ensure that the system is depressurised.

Always detach the AdBlue hoses before disconnecting the electrical connectors to prevent AdBlue spillage from
entering the connectors.
Wrap the connections.
Seal the system so that the AdBlue does not crystallise if the system remains disconnected for a longer period of
time (several hours).
Cleaning tools and clothing
It is important that tools and clothes are thoroughly cleaned of AdBlue solution, so that fluid or crystals are not
transferred to other components which could be damaged.
Actions with spillage

30 / 31
In case of skin contact rinse with plenty of water and remove contaminated clothing.
In case of eye contact rinse for several minutes and contact a doctor if necessary.
If inhaled breathe in fresh air and contact a doctor if necessary.
Do not allow AdBlue solution to come into contact with other chemicals.
AdBlue solution is not flammable. If AdBlue solution is exposed to high temperatures, it breaks down into ammonia and
carbon dioxide.
AdBlue solution is highly corrosive to certain metals, including copper and aluminium.
If AdBlue solution is spilled onto the vehicle, wipe off the excess and rinse with water. Spilled AdBlue solution can form
concentrated white crystals on the vehicle. Rinse off these crystals with water.
Note: Do not flush AdBlue spillages into the normal drainage system.
Warning
AdBlue spilt onto hot components will quickly vaporise. Turn your face away!
