AMA i60 Exhaust meas urement system The flagship of the AVL iGeneration All major diagnostic functions are supported by the device software iGEM AMA and can be automated through an integrated scheduler function. Furthermore, pending maintenance intervals can be displayed on time, avoiding service interruption. A special feature is the intelligent error handling of the system, which provides solutions for fast elimination of operation errors. If further help is required, the complete trouble shooting down to the sensor and valve level can be carried out by remote diagnosis, minimizing down times. For the conventional exhaust gas analysis the AMA i60 can be individually adapted to the corresponding measurement applications (diluted/ undiluted exhaust or gasoline/ diesel/H2/etc). Special versions and mobile remote- or stand-alone-units with an optimized system design are offered e.g. for SULEV, EGR and SCR applications (NH3) as well as for marine diesel (SO2). Moreover, the combined exhaust gas measurement and dilution system AMA i60 COMBI for small engines and motorcycles 3 1 F o c u s is available. Therefore, more and more users confirm that the combination of high measurement accuracy, easy operation and optimized total costs of ownership makes the AMA i60 the first choice in modern exhaust emission measurement. < A modern exhaust measurement system needs to cope with various requirements. From a legal perspective the system has to handle current and future emission standards such as EPA 40 CFR Part 1065/1066, Heavy Duty Euro VI and Light Duty Euro 6. From a technical aspect it is important to take a close look at additional exhaust gas components (NH3, N2O, NO2, etc.) as well as consider the increased use of alternative fuels. The business perspective focuses on the reduction of testing time with faster analyzing methods and significant lower costs of ownership. The AMA i60 exhaust measurement system has been developed under these specific aspects and has been optimized in every detail in order to perfectly meet the various requirements. In combination with different sampling systems, the AMA i60 is ideally suited for the development and certification of combustion engines in accordance with all global exhaust emission regulations. The system is characterized by new gas analyzers with faster response times (up to 40 percent in comparison to other systems on the market), optimized gas paths and a compact, modular design. The flexible system allows for easy retrofitting - for example of further analyzer channels or entire streams. In addition, all modules are easily accessible from the front for maintenance and service tasks. The time required for maintenance has been reduced by about 25 percent compared to the previous model. All gas lines and valve manifolds have been improved in terms of minimal gas consumption, which has been reduced by up to 30 percent in comparison to other systems on the market. Due to improved measurement accuracy and repeatability excellent measurement results are achieved. The innovative CLD i60 analyzers meet the strict quenching guidelines of EPA 40 CFR part 1065, hence representing cutting edge technology in this field. The intuitive, interactive graphical user interface iGEM is the platform for all iGeneration systems. Due to this common concept the user can easily navigate through all systems and operating errors are minimized. With individual interactive flow diagrams of the system and of all components directly displayed on the user interface, the AMA i60 has set the industry standard. products
