Machines with Aftertreatment Exhaust System 15.3 Shelf Life of Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) The shelf life of DEF is a function of temperature and the amount of exposure to sunlight. Certain conditions can degrade the solution to a point where it will no longer meet the standards.
Machines with Aftertreatment Exhaust System 15.4 Monitoring and Control of the DEF Level The Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) level is monitored by the genset controller. In normal operation, the DEF level (in percentage of the DEF tank capacity) is displayed on the left side of the LCD screen. When the DEF tank begins to empty, the genset controller displays messages alerting the operator of the condition of the DEF supply.
Machines with Aftertreatment Exhaust System 15.5 Monitoring DEF Quality The quality of Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) is monitored by the genset controller. When the DEF quality begins to deteriorate (or something other than DEF is put into the DEF tank, or the sensor is disconnected/malfunctioning), the genset controller displays messages alerting the operator as to the condition of the DEF quality.
Machines with Aftertreatment Exhaust System 15.6 Conditioning the Aftertreatment Exhaust System (if equipped) Overview Sustained operation of the generator under load heats the Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) system to a temperature high enough to burn accumulated Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) crystals. This conditioning process normally occurs automatically.
