While the request of diesel engine is recently increased due to its excellent fuel economy benefit, the regulation of emission becomes reinforced. The variety of method such as engine technologies and aftertreatment systems have been developed and applied to meet the criteria of regulation so far. One of recognizable technologies utilized in a heavy commercial vehicle is SCR system using urea solution as a reductant, which eliminates NOx. This paper includes the experiment of a diesel engine equipped with Urea SCR system, and its emission characteristic including particle is analyzed and evaluated against its regulation. This evaluation is performed for the diesel engine using ELPI(Electric Low Pressure Impactor) under the condition of constant engine RPM and load, and injecting urea solution to SCR system, particle number distribution of particle range from 7nm to 10μm was estimated.
