<p>[quote user="Shadow the Cats owner"]SCR stands for Selective Catalyst Reduction in Diesel technology. You spray DEF in the diesel exhaust stream over a catalyst to convert the exhaust into more enviromentially friendly compounds. [/quote]</p> <p>Agreed, but nevertheless I stay with the statement from Metrolink and Siemens that the F125 and SC44 don't have DPF. And there are reasons.</p> <p>- usually the DPF is before the SCR in the exhaust stream to keep PM out of the SCR catalyst.<br />- EMD 1010-T4 and GE Gevo-T4 use solely EGR to comply with locomotive Tier 4 emmisions. The cooler combustion temperature reduces NOx but increases PM. But still both locomotive get away without DPF through cleaner combustion (common rail injection).<br />- Cummins writes in a broschure: <em>The QSK95 is ready to meet Tier 4 and other very low emissions standards, using in-cylinder clean combustion to reduce Particulate Matter (PM) emissions and Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) aftertreatment to reduce Oxides of Nitrogen (NOx) emissions.</em> EMD and GE were able to reduce PM by clean combustion why should Cummins not be able to do the same.<br />- Last but not least: Truck PM Tier 4 limits are 0.01 g/bhp-hr, locomotive PM Tier 4 limits are 0.03 g/bhp-hr, three times the truck limit.<br />Regards, Volker</p>
