DaimlerChrysler AG’s BLUETEC diesel engine, introduced by Mercedes Car Group division and currently used by the 2007 Mercedes-Benz E320 luxury sedan, is dubbed as world’s cleanest diesel engine. The engine offers environmental-friendly features that use a technology that reduces the nitrogen oxide (NO2) emissions by 80%.
So how does this BLUTEC clean diesel engine work?
Well, the 3.0-liter BLUETEC turbo diesel engine of the 2007 Mercedes-Benz E320 is equipped with fuel injector located at the center of the top of the combustion chamber. The BLUETEC engine technology uses an oxidizing catalytic converter and an advanced catalytic converter that begins a preliminary removal of oxides of nitrogen. Then a particulate filter will trap and store smoke particles burn them when the filter gets full. Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) catalytic converter will take the remaining nitrogen oxides and covert them to nitrogen and water with the injection of a urea-based fluid called Adblue into the exhaust stream to help in the process. With this system, the emission of the pollutant nitrogen oxide is reduced to hydrogen and water.
The 3.0-liter BLUETEC turbo diesel engine is also included in the Ward's 10 Best Engines for the year 2007.
