AMS Instrumentation has introduced the Ecom J2KN analyser, which utilises electrochemical sensors to measure exhaust emissions, most commonly 02, CO, NO, N02, and S02 gases. It also has an available NDIR bench for measuring C02, high CO, and CH4. The robust filtering system along with the Peltier gas cooler and 9V high-flow pump enables a clean sample and high flow rate, which is necessary for accuracy and repeatability. The sensors are monitored, which compensates for temperature changes in harsh testing environments, and the CO sensor has a dedicated fresh air pump which activates if a maximum concentration limit is exceeded, usually 4000ppm.
The analyser can be used in many applications, including emission testing on stationary engines, generators, compressors, boilers, burners, turbines, heating equipment, pumps, diesel engines, mining equipment (to control DPM), construction equipment, laboratory combustion equipment and alternative fuels research. The analyser is also used for fuel efficiency testing, combustion tuning, maintenance checks, and emissions compliance reporting. The types of fuel burnt that can be tested on the series include natural gas, oil, diesel, coal, wood, biomass, butane, propane, biodiesel and other alternative fuels.
