AdBlue®/DEF Tank
IMPORTANT:
Dirt/dust, oil, greases, detergents and any chemicals
and natural products must be prevented from entering
the Adblue/DEF tank.
The system will be damaged if dust or dirt enters the
tank clogging the filters in the dosing system.
Keep the tank clean at all times.
®
The AdBlue /DEF is stored in a separate, tank. The
tank is available in different sizes.
There is a fitting in the tank that comprises a heating
coil (2), a float (3) and a filter (5) on the suction line to
prevent any particles from circulating through the
system and causing disruptions. The fliter must be
checked and cleaned as necessary.
There is a drain plug (4) on the bottom of the tank so
that the solution can be emptied when necessary, e.g.
for cleaning. The tank is fitted with a breather to
equalize pressure changes.
The filler pipe (1) is equipped with a blue cap to clearly
indicate that the tank contains AdBlue/DEF.
Tank level
The solution consumption varies during operations.
The level in the tank is shown on the gauge as a
percentage of the total tank volume, or what the OEM
choose to display.
The tank level signal is continuously read by the EMS.
When the level falls below the set limit, the level sensor
in the tank transmits a signal that stops AdBlue/DEF
dosing. A fault code is set in the engine control unit, a
warning lamp lights up and a fault message is shown
on the control panel. If solution is not added, injection
into the exhaust pipe will cease and engine torque and
engine speed will be limited. When solution is added
the fault message is canceled and the engine is able
to revert to full power. For genset the engine will be
shut down according to inducement settings.
Refer to EATS Inducements, VE-engines
(EU), page 44 for further information.
