<div class="section abstract"><div class="htmlview paragraph">Future legislations such as EPA27 [<span class="xref">1</span>] and EURO VII [<span class="xref">2</span>] are further reducing NO<sub>x</sub> emission limits. At the same time, the focus of emission compliance over a broad range of operation conditions is becoming more stringent; with a specific focus onto the cold start. The reduction of NO<sub>x</sub> is reached over a Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) system, with NH<sub>3</sub> as a reductant. NH<sub>3</sub> is derived over the processing of Urea Water Solution (UWS) to NH<sub>3</sub>. The conversion of UWS to NH<sub>3</sub> is a highly complex process, with the danger of deposit formation, which is especially challenging in Compact Urea Processing Units (CUPU). One of the key factors for the successful development of Compact Urea Processing Units is the precise application of simulation and testing methods. Therefore, existing testing methods e.g. for the determination of the urea processing capability or the deposit formation were optimized, new testing methods are being introduced and the parameters evaluated are being broadened. For the simulation it is mandatory to use validated models to ensure a good correlation between simulation and testing. For this reason, the simulation tools, e.g. for the determination of the NH<sub>3</sub> distribution, were evaluated and adjusted to deliver reliable results. The results gained in testing and simulations are not only evaluated individually, but in combination amongst each other. This leads to a full picture and an in-depth understanding of the UWS processing in a CUPU. Moreover, it leads to a fuller understanding of the impacting parameters of NH<sub>3</sub> distribution, NH<sub>3</sub> yield and deposit formation, which can afterwards be used for an optimal application of the unit within the required boundary conditions in customer projects.</div></div>
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
