C15 and C18 – NOx Reduction System (NRS)

The NRS sends hot exhaust gas from the exhaust manifold that is connected to cylinders one, two, and three through the NRS system. In order for exhaust gas to be able to mix with pressurized air from the ATAAC, back pressure is needed in the exhaust system. This back pressure is created by the turbocharger and DPF. The hot exhaust gas is first cooled in the NRS cooler. The now cooled exhaust gas passes through the NRS venturi. The venturi takes a measurement of the flow of exhaust gas through the NRS system. After the gas flow is measured by the NRS venturi, the gas flows through the electronically controlled NRS valve. The electronic controlled NRS valve is hydraulically actuated. When the NRS valve is in the full OFF position, the only source of air for the engine is from the turbocharger compressor. As the valve starts to open the flow of cooled exhaust gas from the NRS cooler mixes with the air flow from the turbocharger. As the demand for more cooled exhaust gas increases, the valve opens wider. This widening increases the flow of cooled exhaust gas from the NRS cooler. As the demand for more cooled exhaust gas increases, the demand for air flow from the turbocharger decreases.
