Doser Pump
Cummins®

Introduction

The Cummins 5418889 Doser Pump is a component designed for use in heavy-duty trucks. It plays a role in the emissions control system by delivering Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) into the exhaust stream. This process is part of the Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) system, which helps reduce nitrogen oxides (NOx) emissions, contributing to cleaner air and compliance with environmental regulations ¹.

Basic Concepts of Doser Pumps

A doser pump is a device that injects Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) into the exhaust stream of a diesel engine. This injection occurs upstream of the SCR catalyst. The DEF, when heated, breaks down into ammonia and carbon dioxide. The ammonia reacts with NOx in the exhaust, converting them into harmless nitrogen and water vapor. This process is known as Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) and is a common method for reducing emissions in diesel engines ².

Purpose of the Cummins 5418889 Doser Pump

The Cummins 5418889 Doser Pump is specifically designed to work within the SCR system of heavy-duty trucks. Its function is to precisely dose DEF into the exhaust stream. This dosing is controlled by the engine’s electronic control unit (ECU), which monitors various parameters such as exhaust temperature, engine load, and emissions levels to determine the optimal amount of DEF to inject. This precise dosing helps maximize the efficiency of the SCR system in reducing NOx emissions ³.

Key Features

The Cummins 5418889 incorporates several design elements and materials that enhance its performance and durability. It is constructed from high-quality materials to withstand the harsh conditions of the exhaust system. The pump features advanced technology for precise DEF delivery, ensuring optimal performance of the SCR system. Additionally, it is designed for easy installation and maintenance, with features that allow for straightforward access and servicing.
