Diesel engines provide merits in the aspect of higher thermal efficiency and less CO₂ emission, but more problems on PM and NOx emissions. Selective Catalyst Reduction(SCR) technology is well-known to be effective for the reduction of NOx emission. SCR system can be classified into three kinds of NSR, NH₃-SCR and HC-SCR depending on reducing agents in jet spray. Because of poisoning problem of sulfur and unstable gas condition, much stable Urea-SCR system has been preferred to use instead. However, this research used to NH₃ gas instead Urea solution to model gas test. It is general to use NH₃-SCR catalyst for the NOx reduction on a diesel engine. This research focuses on the effects of gas temperature, SV(space velocity) and AR(aspect ratio) of NOx reduction rate. In this experiment was used the model gas which is similar to a diesel exhaust gas. NOx conversion rate is higher than 90% at the temperature of near 400℃ for all cases. As SV is lower, NOx conversion rate is decreased. On the contrary, as AR is higher, NOx conversion rate is increased.
