Exhaust gas measuring technology
The institute has a wide range of measuring equipment to measure both limited and non-limited exhaust emissions.
Exhaust gas measuring cabinets for limited pollutants
- CLD (Chemiluminescence detector)
- FID (Flame ionization detector)
- NDIR (Non-dispersive infrared detector)
- PMD (Paramagnetic detector)
- Condensation particle counter (AVL Particle counter 489)
Measuring devices for non-limited pollutants
- FTIR (Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy)
- MSSplus – AVL Micro Soot Sensor
- DDMPS/TrDMPS (Dual differential mobility particle spectrometer)
- DNPH method
Cylinder pressure indication system
- Various piezoelectric and piezoresistive pressure sensors with charge amplifiers for high- and low-pressure indication
- Detection of flame propagation and knock generation: AVL VisioSet with VisioFlame and VisioKnock spark plugs
