MEXA-7100FX

Overview

The MEXA-7100FX is a fast-response analytical system targeted for raw exhaust emissions from diesel or gasoline (4-cycle) engines. With analyzer responses even faster than others in the MEXA-7000 series, this system is ideal for applications such as measuring modal mass emissions and monitoring the generation of gases in catalyst evaluation systems. 

Features

The MEXA-7100FX inherits the superb quality and performance of the MEXA-7000

  • Conforms with international emissions regulations
  • Supports all host computer communication protocols to facilitate control room networking.
  • High-precision analyzers with high speed response.
  • Selected MEXA-7000 options available.

ADVANTAGES:

  • Direct Analysis with Faster Response:
  • HORIBA‘s new direct exhaust measurement system permits T10-90 respons etimes of less than 0.9 second for CO, CO2,THC, NOx and O2.
  • Advanced Modal Mass Measurement
    The reduced response time of the MEXA-7100FX permits even more accurate tracking of engine exhaust trends. When used in connection with HORIBA‘s EXFM-1000 Ultrasonic Exhaust Gas Flowmeter, direct modal mass analysis can be performed with great precision.
  • Quick Response Right from the Start
    To provide a faster response, HORIBA developed a new dedicated sampling unit. The new design has lower volume to reduce the delay time from the exhaust sample point to the analyzer inlet. The fast speed of the unit is further highlighted by T99 response time of less than 3 seconds for all measured gases.
