Abstract: Close-coupled selective catalytic reduction (ccSCR) technology is a feasible post-processing technology to meet California’s ultra-low NOx emission standard. In this paper, the control strategy of  ccSCR  system is studied by numerical simulation. SCR single state model is used to predict NH3 storage, NOx emission and NH3 leakage. The NOx emission characteristics of federal test procedure (FTP) are analyzed when ccSCR catalyst is not installed. Based on the analysis, the dual-nozzle independent control strategy and dual-nozzle joint control strategy are proposed. The results show that ccSCR system can make full use of exhaust gas heat and greatly reduce the starting time of urea injection, with the starting time of urea injection reduced to 51 from 568 s on cold-start FTP. The dual-nozzle joint control strategy will jointly control the NH3 storage in the ccSCR and the downstream SCR catalyst. The NOx conversion efficiency of the ccSCR system can reach 99.56% by using this strategy, and the specific NOx emission meets the requirements of the future California ultra-low NOx emission standard
