PEMS for Particle Number Measurement

Your fast track to RDE success
PN Advanced

As emission legislation continues to tighten across every segment of the automotive industry, mounting complexity in powertrain and aftertreatment system development rises. With new particle emission limits and solid particle number (PN) measurement methodologies - targeting particle sizes down to approximately 10 nm - on the horizon, precision and reliability in testing have never been more critical.

AVL’s portable emission measurement systems (PEMS) are purpose-built to tackle the complexities of modern emission compliance.

  • Compact, modular design for flexible integration
  • Robust construction to withstand harsh environmental conditions
  • Quick and easy installation to streamline testing workflows
  • High-accuracy measurement to ensure dependable compliance
pn advanced

AVL’s commitment to quality and innovation has positioned the AVL M.O.V.E PN PEMS product line as the market leader in portable emission measurement solutions.

Our latest device is fully compliant with current RDE and ISC regulations, including Euro 7 readiness. Engineered as a “black box” system, it delivers precise, reproducible emissions measurements under real driving conditions. 

With selectable and simultaneous 10 nm and 23 nm particle measurements, it offers unmatched flexibility for diverse testing scenarios. Optimized for hardware, functionality, calibration, and PMP correlation, this solution sets a new benchmark for real-world emissions testing.

​Latest generation of AVL’s Electrical Particle Counter Advanced Technology and Neutralization Technology supports accurate measurement of highly charged particles associated with heavy-duty after treatment​.

​Designed for easy retrofitting, it can be integrated with any existing device. ​Wider operating measurement range of approximately 7 × 10⁷ #/cm³ and achieves a low zero noise level of around 800 #/cm³, ensuring precise and reliable particle number detection.​

​The AVL M.O.V.E PN Advanced LDSel is fully integrated in the proven AVL M.O.V.E iS+ platform, enabling seamless post-processing via the M.O.V.E data toolbox.
