QUICK AND CURIOUS | What is AdBlue?
Colleagues, we've received many inquiries asking what AdBlue is. Here's a video to help you understand, and I'll add a few clarifications:
AdBlue is the brand name of the product. It's composed of 32.5% urea, and within that urea, approximately 50% is ammonia. Don't try to do the math; I'll do it for you: roughly 15% of AdBlue is ammonia.
Ammonia is key because it converts NOx into nitrogen and water.
In addition to urea, the rest of AdBlue is demineralized water. That's why urinating in the tank doesn't replace AdBlue.
Finally, if your systems are experiencing problems with AdBlue, it could be due to crystallization.
