Precautions for using AdBlue® Solution in winter
(®= registered trademark of the Verband der Automobilindustrie e.V. (VDA).)
The beginning of winter is approaching, and the weather is turning cold. Compared to summer, the driving environment in winter is more complex, and the use of AdBlue® Solution/Automotive Urea Solution/DEF Fluid/AUS 32 is more important. New Blue Environmental Protection teaches you the characteristics and countermeasures of using AdBlue® Solution/Automotive Urea Solution/DEF Fluid/AUS 32 in winter in one go.

 

Winter use of AdBlue® Solution/Automotive Urea Solution/DEF Fluid/AUS 32

(1) Facing the challenge of low temperature environment in winter, when the temperature drops to a certain extent, AdBlue® Solution/Automotive Urea Solution/DEF Fluid/AUS 32 may crystallize, affecting its normal injection and use in vehicle exhaust treatment systems. For example, in extremely cold regions, AdBlue® Solution/Automotive Urea Solution/DEF Fluid/AUS 32 may crystallize in storage tanks, pipelines, and other areas.

 

(2) The impact on vehicle start-up: In low temperature environments during winter, longer warm-up time is required for vehicle start-up. The injection system of AdBlue® Solution/Automotive Urea Solution/DEF Fluid/AUS 32 also requires certain temperature conditions to work properly. Therefore, in winter, it may take some time for the urea system to reach normal working condition after the vehicle is started. During this period, the exhaust emissions of vehicles may be affected to some extent.

 

(3) The impact on engine performance: At low temperatures, the combustion efficiency of the engine may decrease, leading to an increase in the content of nitrogen oxides in the exhaust. This requires more effective use of AdBlue® Solution/Automotive Urea Solution/DEF Fluid/AUS 32 to reduce nitrogen oxide emissions. However, due to the special winter environment, the reaction speed of AdBlue® Solution/Automotive Urea Solution/DEF Fluid/AUS 32 may be affected to some extent, and the vehicle's control system needs to be adjusted accordingly.

Winter precautions for AdBlue® Solution/Automotive Urea Solution/DEF Fluid/AUS 32

Choose the appropriate AdBlue® Solution/Automotive Urea Solution/DEF Fluid/AUS 32 product

Firstly, it should be noted that the AdBlue® Solution/Automotive Urea Solution/DEF Fluid/AUS 32 used to promote antifreeze usually contains ethanol or ethylene glycol, which can cause damage to the exhaust pipe. Although it can achieve antifreeze to some extent, in the long run, it is still necessary to add urea solution with a normal ratio to avoid unforeseen losses.
The key to using AdBlue® Solution/Automotive Urea Solution/DEF Fluid/AUS 32 in winter is to choose the right product. New Blue Shangchun's AdBlue® Solution/Automotive Urea Solution/DEF Fluid/AUS 32 has high physical and chemical activity, low surface tension, and maintains a high conversion rate in low-temperature environments. On the one hand, it can reduce the consumption of AdBlue® Solution/Automotive Urea Solution/DEF Fluid/AUS 32, save costs, and on the other hand, it can better adapt to the power system to ensure vehicle power.
New Blue also kindly reminds that when parking in cold weather, do not rush to turn off the engine and turn off the power after turning off the key. Do not turn off the vehicle's main power for at least 30 seconds after turning off the engine. The SCR system will discharge residual AdBlue® Solution/Automotive Urea Solution/DEF Fluid/AUS 32 from the pipeline to avoid crystal blockage of the nozzle.

How to store AdBlue® Solution/Automotive Urea Solution/DEF Fluid/AUS 32 correctly in winter

When storing AdBlue® Solution/Automotive Urea Solution/DEF Fluid/AUS 32 for vehicles in winter, a dry and well ventilated place should be selected to avoid direct sunlight and rain and snow. At the same time, attention should be paid to preventing the AdBlue® Solution/Automotive Urea Solution/DEF Fluid/AUS 32 from freezing. If the storage temperature is too low, insulation measures can be taken, such as wrapping the storage tank with insulation materials. In addition, when adding AdBlue® Solution/Automotive Urea Solution/DEF Fluid/AUS 32 to the vehicle, a dedicated filling tube should be used to avoid mixing impurities.

Is the quality of AdBlue® Solution affected by cold crystallization

304 stainless steel meets the international requirements of food grade,316 stainless steel is not only food grade or medical grade. However,the use of this medical grade as a production cup will not bring additional benefits to everyone. Why is it called 304 or 316? This is mainly defined according to the material composition. 316 stainless steel is not similar to mineral materials,after use can release some substances to promote human absorption,will not purify water quality,so when used as a water cup material,there is no difference. The difference is that the price of raw materials is different from the size of the sound of the long stunt.
