instrumentation and test systems bility as well as plug & play functionalities. 2 0 F o c u s But not only the software provides a common look & feel, also the AVL iGeneration hardware has a common concept. All modules and components are based on the same “family-platform”, offering considerable advantages for maintenance and services. With this concept AVL can guarantee a maximum availability of the iGeneration devices. All together customers can save up to 30 percent on total cost of ownership with iGeneration products. The iGeneration “Flagship” is the exhaust measurement system AMA i60. “This system, which is fitted with analyzers for each individual gas component, is ideally suited - besides various development tasks - for certification of combustion engines in order to meet current and future emission regulations in Europe, the US and Japan,“ says Kurt Engeljehringer, business development manager for Emission Test Systems. ”Our newest member of the iGeneration family is the multi-component exhaust measurement system SESAM i60 FT. With this device up to 30 different gas components can be measured within one analyzer. The SESAM i60 FT is most suitable for the application of engines and complex exhaust aftertreatment systems. In addition to this comprehensive performance range as development tool, the multi-component analyzer can be also used for legal certification of some components,“ states Engeljehringer. Particle Meas urement AVL is the leader not only in gaseous exhaust emission measurement, but also in the particle measurement technology. With the products Smoke Meter and Opacimeter AVL has set a new industry standard worldwide. Based on the success and the knowhow of AVL a whole product family around particulate measurement has been developed. Besides the devices for particle mass measurement, AVL additionally provides the AVL Particle Counter, a high-tech device for particulate counting. “Due to the increasingly stringent legislation – also in terms of the number of particles – the demand for such solutions is very high: Today AVL’s engine and chassis dyno testbeds are virtually always delivered with particle measurement technology. One advantage is the possible integration of the AVL Particle Counter into the analytics cabinets - even in the case of retrofitting – thus saving valuable floor space in the test cell. Due to the common software iGEM Engine/iGEM Vehicle also the system integration is very quick and easy”, says the emission expert. The AVL equipment for particle mass measurement and particulate counting are of course also available as stand-alone devices. Another significant advantage is that the AVL Particle Counter can be calibrated professionally and conforming to the law in the newly established AVL service and calibration centers in Graz and Detroit. In these centers the devices are tested and validated. > Efficient development and certification with AVL emission measurement systems for chassis dynamometer testbeds. > Newest member of the AVL iGeneration: The multi-component exhaust measurement system SESAM i60 FT
