Test Field Area Office Area Weighing Chamber Area / 173 PARTICLE FILTER MANAGEMENT IN THE WEIGHING PROCESS BENEFITS AT A GLANCE • Increased efficiency and quality assurance thanks to intelligent particle filter management • Central administration of all used test and reference filters as well as weights in the test facility • Climate data monitoring as well as calculation and storing of the exhaust test measurement results according to current legislation • Clearly structured and intuitive graphical user interface with extensive configuration and customization options • Secure identification of filter sets by RFID or barcode labeling • Easy integration into an external system based on a flexible .NET architecture AVL ParticleScale The constant demand for increasing efficiency in the exhaust test field inevitably leads to new chal lenges for central management and administration of sample filters. Moreover, the many tighter regulations require a lot of effort to ensure the corresponding measurement quality. With AVL ParticleScale, AVL presents a universal solution for managing sample fil ters as used for part icle measurement in emission tests. The intel ligent particle filter management supports the user in the weighing process and offers easy handling of test and reference filters as well as reference weights throughout the whole filter life cycle. SOLUTION AVL ParticleScale fits ideally into the existing AVL automation system environment and leads the operator through the whole weighing process. Corresponding to the selected test cycle and/ or number, size and configuration of the required sample filters as well as the compulsory conditioning time are automatically pre-defined and used in the flow control. Every filter runs through different states controlled by the program, beginning with pre-conditioning and ending with the weighing of the loaded filter and its disposal. APPLICATION Even for a small number of weighings, AVL ParticleScale enhances the measurement quality of the particle weighing process. On large exhaust test fields, it also incr eases the efficiency. For further automation of the particle weighing, AVL ParticleScale can serve as an interface between t he user and the AVL Filter Weighing Robot (FWR).
