At the same time, in order to cope with the upcoming Stage VII cold start emission limit problem, the traditional rotational flow tube assembly in the existing mixer has limited breaking capacity for urea droplets and exhaust gas, and urea droplets cannot be decomposed in time, which easily forms urea crystallization in local area, affecting engine performance.

The whole mixer system is installed at the rear end of the rotational flow heating system, the exhaust gas discharged from the engine passes through the rotational flow heating system, then passes through the mixer system and the SCR catalyst and the ASC catalyst in the SCR mixing system, and finally is discharged from the tail pipe.
