Oil service: special valve for AdBlue
A clean future with Skarke
For many years, the »AdBlue« fuel additive has been used for additional treatment of exhaust gases. It reduces the amount of nitrogen oxides in the exhaust emissions of diesel engines by up to 90%. Due to this, AdBlue makes a major contribution to environmental and climate protection but offers another problem: The diesel additive contains almost one third of urea, which presents special challenges to the materials it comes into contact with, i.e. also to the valves used.
Skarke oil-service valve specially developed for use with AdBlue
When oil-service valves are to be used in direct contact with aggressive liquids such as urea, they naturally have to meet special requirements. This is why we have developed a special variety of our oil-service valves. These are equipped with a special O-ring and being made of stainless steel, they have the resistance necessary for operation with AdBlue. The particular advantage: Using the basic version, we can flexibly tailor the resistance of our oil-service valves to the requirements of the respective application.
Oil-service valves developed to customer specifications
Like all our valves, our oil-service valve for AdBlue applications features a very high flow rate, temperature and pressure resistance and is thus also suitable as a drain valve in AdBlue tanks. This ensures the fast, easy and safe drainage of the tanks in case they have been filled with the wrong liquid. You can download the detailed data sheet of the oil-service valve for AdBlue applications as a PDF file.
Of course, our special valve for AdBlue applications is just an example of what our developers can do for you. Whenever technically feasible, we will be pleased to manufacture oil-service valves precisely to your requirements. Please do not hesitate to contact us right away and we will be happy to give you personal advice.
