MEXA-ONE-QL-NX

Laser Spectroscopic Motor Exhaust Gas Analyzer

HORIBA ONE Series Introduces New N-Compounds Analyzer

The MEXA-ONE-QL-NX is an analyzer for the direct, simultaneous real-time measurement of the four relevant nitrogen-containing exhaust gas components NO, NO₂, N₂O and NH₃.
The analyzer combines a light source based on the new quantum cascade technology (efficient lasers in the mid-infrared spectral region) with a precisely adjusted dual path cell to measure low concentrations with maximum sensitivity. The detection limit complies with current European legal requirements.
Furthermore, the MEXA-ONE-QL-NX offers wide measuring ranges of up to 5000 ppm (for NO). By using extremely narrowband light sources and measuring under reduced pressure the cross-sensitivity to other exhaust gas components can be drastically minimized.
The complete measuring system - including filtration - is specifically developed for the measurement of NH₃ and thus guarantees a very fast NH₃ rise time (T10-T90) of less than 5 seconds.
The MEXA-ONE-QL-NX can be operated as a stand-alone analyzer or integrated into the MEXA-ONE software interface for user-friendly and simplified system operation.

For R&D of advanced NO_x after-treatment systems

Simultaneous real-time measurement of four nitrogen compounds (NO, NO₂, N₂O and NH₃)
Wide dynamic ranges for all components (e.g. NH₃: 0.6 ppm to 2000 ppm)
Fast response times (T10-T90):
NO, NO₂, N₂O: <2 s
NH₃: <5 s
