MEXA-ONE-FT

MEXA-ONE-FT - FTIR Motor Exhaust Gas Analyzer

FTIR Motor Exhaust Gas Analyzer

The MEXA-ONE-FT Series simultaneously measures concentrations of multiple components, including NH3, N2O, CH4, CO and CO2, in undiluted exhaust gas using the Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) method in combination with a multivariate analysis algorithm. It incorporates HORIBA's proprietary compact interferometer which yields superior performance and high accuracy.
The system complies with NH3 testing requirements of Euro VI, the EU regulation for heavy duty emissions testing.
The MEXA-ONE-FT can be calibrated according to customer requirements with up to 6 component sets to cover a wide range of applications.
FTIR spectroscopy allows the direct measurement of NO2 emissions and the independent quantification of individual hydrocarbon species. This makes the MEXA-ONE-FT system an ideal solution for detailed research and development tasks.
Due to the measurement principle, the time-consuming daily span gas calibration is omitted.
In addition, usability and flexibility are realized by “HORIBA ONE PLATFORM” which enables to extend the system with other ONE analyzers to a complete solution suitable for both certification and R&D purposes.

Segment: Automotive
Manufacturing Company: HORIBA, Ltd.

Applications

  • Euro VI compliance "MEXA-ONE-FT-E"

NH3 response time (t10-90): 5 seconds or less
Sampling temperature: 191°C

  • Simultaneous and continuous measurement of up to 28 components such as NO, NO2, N2O, NH3

・R&D for alcohol-based fuels
・Development of exhaust after-treatment systems
・Measurement of greenhouse gas
