Rosemount Analytical (part of the Fisher-Rosemount group of companies) has supplied an Internal Combustion Engine Emissions (ICEE) system for the new Engine Technology Centre recently opened at Millbrook, the Bedford-based vehicle test organisation. Millbrook conducts vehicle testing to worldwide standards on behalf of engine manufacturers.
The internal combustion engine emissions industry has to comply with environmental legislation, covering not only cars, but most internal combustion engines. First adopted in the US (where the Environmental Protection Agency is the regulatory body), most countries now have laws covering emissions.
Rosemount Analytical has accrued over 40 years experience with engine exhaust analysis and the company's gas analysers were among the first instruments used to identify car exhaust fumes as a major source of air pollution.
Today, the NGA 2000 Series Gas Analysers include all measurements to meet the needs of the user and the regulators. ICEE systems range from the simplest freestanding NGA 2000 Gas Analyser-based network to complete modal test structures. Features include modular architecture, compact size and high performance digital electronics.
The Analyser Module is the basic measuring unit of the system and can be included with an operator interface enclosure and I/O Card to comprise a traditional gas measuring instrument.
The NGA 2000 Series design is unique in that it offers solutions that include single and multiple gas analysers, multiple gas analyser systems, Analogue and Digital I/O modules and an operator and display interface.
As user requirements increase and new technologies emerge, a simple module upgrade or addition to an existing Series 2000 Analyser network will bring the system up to date, thus eliminating obsolescence.
Flexibility is an outstanding attribute of the system, with an advanced communication network that links all modules together.
This smart network provides immediate Analyser Module identification and automatic parameter setup; Direct Network communication using industry standards such as AK, Modbus and Windows NT DDE software is also available.
Capabilities of the NGA 2000 Analyser Series extend even further, whereby the analyser modules and operator interface are combined into a scaleable system which measures multiple components.
The multi-component NGA 2000 MLT package includes advanced diagnostics, compact design, modular configuration, bi-directional communications, reduced downtime and exceptional reliability.
These are in addition to higher density multi-component packaging.
Benefits of the NGA 2000 Series are legion and include reduced costs, improved performance and increased standardisation.
It also reduces time spent in installation, testing, start-up and servicing, with expandability as a key feature.
In addition, users can meet all engine emissions requirements, whether for car, truck, chainsaw or gas turbine engines.
