Abstract
The monitoring of the quality and the flow rate of the diesel exhaust fluid is essential for an efficient selective catalytic reduction in diesel combustion. This article presents a platinum thin film sensor using a combination of the constant temperature anemometry and the 3ω-method to measure continuously the urea content and the flow rate with compensated fluid dependence. The urea content can be determined within 3 % by weight and the flow rate within 4 % full scale. The presented method allows continuous monitoring of two main parameter in the selective catalytic reduction.
