Note 2: Gas analysis at the MAC


th

The AVL 439 Opacimeter (G004) is the 4 generation of measurement instrument for recording exhaust gas
opacity in internal combustion engines using opacimetry, i.e. the measurement of the reduction of visible light
in a measuring chamber through which the sample gas is passed. The measurement value output will be
-1
indicated as well as in opacity N [%] or the absorption value k [m ].
Exhaust gas is passed through the measurement chamber where opacity is measured.
The AVL 439 Opacimeter is frequently used in development and certification areas. Because of its technical
design authorised testing laboratories like the RWTV in Germany or the UTAC in France have officially
accepted the 439 for statutory tryouts.
The operator interface of the 439 incorporates different algorithms for the electronics filtering of the
measured signal, which are defined and required in statutory test cycles.
By using the 439 tests i.e. the ELR test cycle (EURO 3, EURO 4) or the ECE R24 test cycle then results can
be easily achieved.

The offered shaft can change during project realization for technical reasons!
Note:
The Coupling Shaft is mounted to the flywheel via an adapter flange. As this flange is UUT
dependent, is has to be supplied by the customer.
Note:
The calculation base for AVL drive shaft systems is the main exciter, the combustion process of
the engine in the dominating order.
Possibly appearing auxiliary exciters (e.g. ECU and actuator frequencies respectively, high idle
control) can only be taken into consideration if they are notified by the customer before the shaft
layout.
The appearance of such non declared auxiliary exciters might cause component failure.
AVL can not be held responsible for such occurring causes of damage and reserves a
disclaimer for direct costs and consequential damages in case of drive shaft failure.

consumption can thus be determined to an accuracy of 0.12 % for the whole system under real
test bed conditions.
The measurement system stands out for simple installation at all gasoline or diesel injection
systems and is therefore universally applicable. This is achieved through the use of a specially
developed pressure control system that makes vehicle-like conditions possible on the test bed.
The additional measurement of the fuel density can be used for quality control or checks for the
correct fuel used. The volumetric consumption information is also available.
The measurement range from 0 to 125 kg/h covers all engine types from a single cylinder
through to a 600 kW large engine with one sensor and measurement system.
The high dynamic AVL Fuel Mass Flow Meter FlexFuel has a calibration interval of at least three
years and is therefore designed to provide a permanent availability for the test bed. In addition it
features a built-in accuracy check and calibration (see option calibration unit) according to ISO
9001 which can be performed at any time during running engine and with the original fuel (fuel
specific restrictions for gasoline fuels).
The AVL Fuel Temperature Control FlexFuel with integrated heating with its high accurate and
stable temperature regulation is an unchallenged market leader in the field of fuel conditioning
systems.
The fuel temperature can be pre-selected within the range of 10...80C. The achievable fuel
temperature, however, depends on the cooling water temperature or the amount of heat
retained in the engine return fuel.
The high precise temperature control provides a constant pre-set fuel temperature at the engine
and guarantees the high measurement accuracy of the whole test system.

37

Continuous gas bubble separation ensures that the fuel supply to the engine is free of bubbles.
The integrated monitor outputs a warning when gas bubbles occur in the measurement system.
The engine feed pressure can be controlled up to 6 bar (rel.) (pressure control on request).
Built-in service interval displays enable preventive maintenance which helps to reduce and plan
downtimes.

OPACIMETER 439

6.02.01

OPACIMETER 439 G004, 230V


TM0439G04A.01

The AVL 439 Opacimeter (G004) is the 4th generation of measurement instrument for recording
exhaust gas opacity in internal combustion engines using opacimetry, i.e. the measurement of
the reduction of visible light in a measuring chamber through which the sample gas is passed.
The measurement value output will be indicated as well as in opacity N [%] or the absorption
-1
value k [m ].

Exhaust gas is passed through the measurement chamber where opacity is measured.
The AVL 439 Opacimeter is frequently used in development and certification areas. Because of
its technical design authorised testing laboratories like the RWTV in Germany or the UTAC in
France have officially accepted the 439 for statutory tryouts.
The operator interface of the 439 incorporates different algorithms for the electronics filtering of
the measured signal, which are defined and required in statutory test cycles.

40

By using the 439 tests i.e. the ELR test cycle (EURO 3, EURO 4) or the ECE R24 test cycle
then results can be easily achieved.

Your Benefits at a Glance

Flexibility:
Application on engine- as well as chassis dynamometers and also for mobile driving tests
Large application area in the fields of development and certification
Suitable for applications where purge-air into the exhaust gas duct is not permitted (e.g. in
front of exhaust gas after-treatment systems)
Simple operation:
Controlling as a stand-alone instrument via AVL cable-remote control IC4210 or PC439
SW, but also in test bed automation system using the AK generic communication interface
and PUMA operating interface (439 PUMA device driver)
Reliable zero stability
Fast signal rise time
High signal sensitivity
Extensive software functions for R&D
Less efforts on maintenance
Conforms to ISO 11614 design instructions

Technical Insight

The optical path length is 430 mm and the measurement gas temperature in the measuring
chamber will be kept constant in the range of approx. 100C by using a heater.
A constant flow of exhaust gas is drawn from the exhaust pipe through the sample line (welded
sample probe) and conditioned sampling hose by means of a diaphragm-type pump pack. The
recirculation of the sampled gas via a return line to the exhaust pipe of the test engine ensures
constant sample flow also at varying pressure conditions. Due to this feature the 439 can be
used for many different applications on the exhaust gas duct whilst still operating within the
instruments limits.
In the conditioned sampling line, the sampled gas is fed to the inlet of the measuring chamber at
a temperature of approximately 100C, i.e. for higher exhaust gas temperatures, (up to 600C
maximum), the sample is cooled and for cold exhaust gas it is heated.
An important benefit of this temperature conditioning is the reliable signal stability and high
signal sensitivity.
The standard configuration consists of a flexible 1 metre sampling line, with integrated probe
and a flexible 1.5 metre conditioning hose (optionally. a 3 metre conditioning hose is available,
i.e. total length 4 m). The sample return line is the same length.
The 439 G004 uses for the first time two zero-air-valves (one of it is included in the articles for
the 4 different sample hoses), which provides economical and safety advantages.
The air pressure consumption will be reduced and the operating safety regarding possible
damage and simplification in operation of the 439 will be increased.
Further the purge-air will not be back flushed into the exhaust gas duct, but leaded via a bypass
of the external zero-air-valve into the ambient.
The second zero-air-valve is located in the area of the exhaust gas recirculation inside the 439.
Output of Measurement Values:
The measurement results for opacity N [0 to 100%] and for the absorption coefficient k [0 to
10m-1] are available at both the serial interface and at the analogue outputs.
The measurement value can be displayed either as an unfiltered raw value or (according to the
required regulations) a filtered signal (Bessel filter, low pass, sliding average, etc.)

41

The measurement value corresponds to the measuring chamber temperature of 100C and
relates to a measurement gas pressure of 1bar, made possible by the pressure and
temperature sensors in the measuring chamber and consideration in the sequence control.
For stand alone operation where no test bed automation system is present the AVL 439 can be
operated by an optional remote control unit (IC4210). The instrument can also be operated from
a stand-alone computer or notebook using terminal emulation or optional PC439-software.
Both alternatives can be chosen as an option for the 439.
Calibration:
Automatic zero point calibration
Built in automatic calibration of the linearity of the photocell (Lin Check)
Calibration is possible with certified reference filters (different transmission filters available as
an option)
Types of Measurement:
Continuous measurement (standard measurement)
Sliding average
Bessel filtering, adjustable parameters
Peak value measurement "raw value"
Peak value measurement of free acceleration as per ECE R 24
Peak value measurement of sudden load set ups as per ELR Test to EURO III (with Bessel

Notes

The sample hose is not part of the 439 basic unit and according to the demands it can now be
selected from 4 different types. Whereby the main difference is the kind of material (Silicon or
Viton) and the two different lengths (2,5m or 4m).
The standard configuration of the sample hose consists always of a flexible sample line with
integrated sample probe (total length 1m) as well as the flexible conditioning tube with the
length 1.5m (total length 2.5m) or with the length 3m (total length 4m) and the zero-air-valve
with the control hose. The lengths of 2.5m or 4m are also used for the return sample lines,
which are already part of the sample hose articles.
Basically it should always be considered to keep the sample hoses as short as possible, in
order to avoid deposits on the tube inner walls and thus to eliminate unwanted variations on the
measured values.
It is a must to select one of these 4 types of sample hoses (must have option), otherwise the
439 is not operative !

CONDENSATE TRAP
TM0439KOFA.01

A condensate trap in the return sampling line could avoid heavy losses on the AVL 439
Opacimeter.
Such a condensate trap will be offered by AVL.

Your Benefits at a Glance

Operation of the 439 also possible at descending Sample Hoses


Application Instructions for using the Condensate Trap
Extension of the 439 Life Time

Technical Insight

The exhaust gas return sampling line is usually laid parallel to the sampling line. If it is laid in an
ascending direction to the exhaust pipe, it is possible for collected residual moisture to flow back

44

into the exhaust pipe. To prevent this happening, we recommend fitting a condensate trap at the
lowest point in the return sampling line. To fit it, cut through the hose, connect up the
condensate trap and fix it in position.
The application instructions describe very extensivly the measures which are possible and
should be taken during the installation of the sample hoses.

6.02.04

SET FILTER INSERT


TM0439FILT.01

To protect the sensible components of the diaphragm pumps of the AVL 439 Opacimeter
against soiling a soot filter insert is installed in front of it.
The filter insert should be replaced in certain intervals by a new one.
This set includes 6 pieces of filter inserts wherewith a longer and proper working of the 439 will
be ensured already.
Maintenance can be performed due the fast and easy exchange of the filter insert.
For each AVL 439 Opacimeter one piece of filter insert is required.
The average life time of one filter insert is approx. 2 to 4 weeks, but of course depends very
strongly on the kind of application, usage and composition of the exhaust gas (sampled gas).

Furthermore, its extensive factory calibration makes the system ready to be used without any
further calibrations. In conjunction with the background recording, re-calibration of the FTIR is
not needed for several years.
An intuitive operator interface makes the system easy to use and frees the operator to focus on
his development work and not the operation of the measurement system.
The AVL SESAM-FTIR has proved outstanding performance for such application already in
many installations worldwide.

Ignition (PI) engines.
Application task: Diesel

Ignition (CI) engines.
Application task: Diesel SCR

Extremely low emission limits for diesel powered Light Duty (passenger cars) and Heavy Duty
(trucks and buses), like EURO-IV, US2007 and 2010, require the development and calibration
of advanced exhaust gas after-treatment systems to reduce NOx and particulate matter. For
these reasons several technologies exists for the NOx reduction, like Hydrocarbon Selective
Catalytic Reduction (HC-SCR), NOx Storage and Reduction (NSR), Plasma Techniques, and
Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR).
The Urea-SCR technology will be mainly used in for Heavy Duty and Light Duty Diesel
applications. The NSR is already now the preferred solution for lean burning direct injection
gasoline passenger cars and to some extent also with diesel powered vehicles.
The Urea-SCR technology uses urea from a tank as a reducing agent. The reduction of NOx is
accomplished through a controlled injection of the urea solution into the hot exhaust gas. This is
combined with one or more catalytic converters. The urea breaks down into NH3, HNCO and
CO2. NOx is reduced when it reacts with NH3, on the surface of the catalyst, to produce nitrogen
and water vapor. The Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) is a complex chemical process,
which consists of several reactions, running simultaneously in the exhaust gas after-treatment
system. The primary reaction when using NH3 is the removal of NO and NO2. This process
forms nitrogen and water. Additional secondary reactions take place, like an increase of NO2
content (from enhancing the removal of NO), the generation of ammonia from injected urea, the
removal of remaining NH3, and the formation of nitrous oxide (N2O, laughing gas).
Development and calibration of such vehicles with SCR technology are focused on managing
exhaust gas temperature, urea dosing strategies, and being sensitive to certain undesired gas
components. This makes it almost mandatory to measure several gaseous components such as
NO, NO2, NOx, N2O, NH3, HNCO, HCOOH, H2O, CO, CO2 and others. All these gas
components must be measured and managed at different sampling locations, like pre-cat, mid
bed, post- cat. Due to the chemical interaction of all these gas components, it is crucial to
measured all components simultaneously, perfectly time aligned, and at a fast response time.
This necessitates the need to measure all the gas components in the same measuring cell with
the same measurement technology. Only the FTIR analytical measurement technology is able
to meet these demands. The FTIR is capable of measuring simultaneously, all the relevant
gases, in one measuring cell with one analytical technology.
Application task: Bio Fuel
Modern fuels very often contain a certain fraction of Bio-fuel, like Ethanol. This application
package also measures gaseous components for such applications.
Measured and calculated gas components
All exhaust gas evaluation methods are installed and configured. All gas components are
factory calibrated accordingly to this application. The calibration is valid for several years.

AVL SESAM-FTIR Version 4


The AVL SESAM-FTIR Version 4 is a dynamic multi gas component measuring system,
optimized for exhaust gas of internal combustion engines. Now available in its fourth generation
it provides proven reliability and outstanding new features.
It belongs to the AVL SESAM-FTIR (System for Emission Sampling and Measurement) product
portfolio. It consists of hardware and software components required for the measurement of
various constituents in raw exhaust. FTIR measures undiluted exhaust at 185C.
Successful online modal exhaust evaluation is addressed with the fast dynamic response time
of 1 sec (rise time t10 t90), and the perfectly time aligned signals for all measured components.
This is accomplished by having all measurements made at the same time, and in the same
measuring cell.
Comparative results obtained from tests using both FTIR and conventional exhaust gas
measurement techniques have proven excellent correlation.
It fulfills all response time requirements for all emission standards and emission legislation
which define raw modal analysis and undiluted transient measurement, like ISO16183,
ISO8178-11, EN2005/78/EC (Euro-IV Heavy Duty).
The measuring results are displayed and stored in the concentration of the various gas
components. The AVL SESAM-FTIR in combination with input signals from an exhaust flow
measurement unit, or a fuel flow meter or an air intake meter, can also deliver mass emission
based results in g/sec or g/km (g/mile). With the optional available software extension
packages, the mass based result evaluation can also be done within the FTIR system.
Your benefits at a glance
AVL SESAM-FTIR is an ideal tool to support all types of development work involved with the
measurement of exhaust gas emissions from various sized engines and vehicles. This

Technical Insight
The Fourier-Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy enables time-resolved (modal) on-line
measurements. This method is highly suitable for in depth investigation of transient processes in
combustion engines. It is capable to determine up to 25 gaseous exhaust components
simultaneously.
The AVL SESAM-FTIR has been designed to be operated by technicians who have no previous
experience with FTIR based systems. No knowledge of software programming or FTIR
spectroscopy is required. Actually it is easier to operate than a conventional emission bench, or
any other analytical system. All operation is done via the advanced software package.
Within the cabinet all components for required to perform the measurement are located,
including the FTIR analyzer module itself. The cabinet is mounted on castors and can easily
move around.

FTIR spectroscopy
Unlike conventional infrared (NDIR) analyzers, which use a single wavelength of infrared light to
measure a single gas component, FTIR spectrometers use a wide range of infrared wave
lengths to detect simultaneously all spectral information available from the gas sample.

54

The AVL SESAM-FTIR uses a Michelson interferometer with two mirrors, one fixed and one
moving. A wide band infrared radiation from the light source is split into two beams by a beam
splitter. One of the beams passes through the beam divider onto the moving mirror and the
other is reflected onto the fixed mirror. Both beams are then recombined to one beam again
along with an interference effect depending on the optical path length difference (retardation)
caused by the actual position of the moving mirror relative to the fixed one. If the retardation is
zero, the two beams are perfectly in phase and all light from the source will be transmitted into
the measuring cell. If the retardation is unlike zero, the beams will be out of phase and less light
(up to zero) will be transmitted into the measuring cell. Consequently, at every mirror movement
(scan) between its turning points the detector will record an "interferogram" (intensity vs. time)
as result of the varying interference of the beams.
When the sample gas cell is filled with exhaust gas, each single exhaust gas component will
absorb infrared light at different wave length and depending on its concentration. This spectral
absorption will change the interferograms, which then comprise the total information of the
complete spectral absorption of all gas components contained in the exhaust sample.
By the Fourier Transform (FT) method interferograms are converted back via mathematical
procedures into an infrared spectrum (intensity vs. wavelength), which is the absorption
spectrum of the relevant exhaust sample. This enables the determination of the concentration of
all infrared-active components of the exhaust gas sample.
Just like standard evaluation methods, as used for general purpose laboratory FTIR analyzers,
the AVL SESAM-FTIR uses specially developed evaluation methods. These methods have
been developed over the last 15 years and are continuously being optimized and improved.
These methods combine the specific requirements for exhaust gas measurement of internal
combustion engines and specific mathematical functions to minimize cross interferences.
The factory calibration of all measured gas components on each single AVL SESAM-FTIR
system ensures the highest possible analytical performance combined with the long time
stability of the calibration.
Optionally, conventional analyzers as well as all necessary sampling compounds can be
integrated. The analyzers just as all other functions are controlled via the software.
The following analyzers can be integrated, the integration of conventional analyzers require to
use the Basic Unit Large Cabinet:
Heated FID (THC) module
NDIR (CO2-EGR) module
PMD (O2) module
The conventional analyzers are operated in the usual way like any conventional emission
bench. A supply with the typical operation gas and calibration gas is required. See the analyzer
data sheet for the detail specifications.
Technical Features
The gas cell is easy to remove and clean and does not require special optical alignment after
cleaning.
All optical parts of the FTIR are mechanically auto-aligned, this means they can easily be
exchanged or repaired. The final optical adjustment is performed by the automated optical
alignment function.
Sample purging time of 1 second due to the optimized gas cell.
No loss of concentration in the sample, because condensation is prevented (important
especially for hydrocarbons and all other components, that resolve in water). Sample lines
and gas cell are heated to 190 C (gas cell 185 C).

55

Synchronous measurement for all components (no individual delay times). This makes time
synchronization easier, especially for pre / post catalyst measurements.
Excellent long term stability, FTIR comes with factory calibration for all measured gases. The
calibration remains stable during life time of the FTIR.
No regular calibration necessary, only daily background sampling using zero gas is needed.
SESAM-FTIR Air Conditioning Features
SESAM-FTIR Air Conditioning unit allows the SESAM-FTIR cabinet to be installed inside an
engine test cell.
Conditions for the Basic SESAM-FTIR cabinet with Air Conditioning Package are 15C to
55C (59F to 131F)
Software features
The AVL SESAM-FTIR has been designed to be operated by technicians who have no previous
experience with FTIR based systems. No knowledge of software programming or FTIR
spectroscopy is required. Actually it is easier to operate than a conventional emission bench, or
any other analytical system. All operation is done via the advanced software package.

The software is installed on a PC, with a Microsoft Windows operating system. It uses the
Windows operation conventions as well as the AVL look and feel of the other products. In this
manner each test bed operator is quickly familiar with the basic functions.
The normal measurement operation is reduced to simple and easy to understand
instrumentation operation. All results displayed are already the final result as needed by the
operator.
All the controls for the system, like sample preparation (solenoid valves, temperatures, etc.), the
data evaluation of the Fourier Transform calculations, conversion into quantitative units and
spectra management (FTIR Control Computer), Interferometer control (lasers, light source,
detector, etc.) and monitoring is done by the FTIR specific software in the background.
System diagnostics and maintenance screens are available for system maintenance or for a
possible need to take a deeper look into. In addition the operator is supported with easy to
understand and operate screens showing the actual flow diagrams and online graphics. If
needed the data source for the analytical data evaluation, like the absorption spectra, is
available.
The integration into any test bed automation system is done via the standard emission
measurement protocol, as defined by the AK standard. If needed, optional analog output signals
can be delivered, for simple analog based interfacing to test bed automation systems or data
recorders.
Optional software package can be installed on the system PC to advance operation, especially
for stand alone operation. Such options starts with simple data recorder and can expand up to
test run automation systems, with full data evaluation routines.

FTIR PRE-FILTER, HEATED WITH BACK


FLUSH
TEFFO0001A.01

The heated Pre-filter is used to remove particulates from the exhaust sample to avoid
contamination in the sample stream as well as contaminations in the measurement cell of the
FTIR system, and any integrated analyzer module. It supplies a back flush functionality.
This pre-filter is especially design and made to prevent measurement artifacts. Such artifacts
can be chemical or physical reactions of the gases with the surface of the filter module or the
filter material itself, or time delays and hang-ups for certain gases. Especially NH3, which is a
limited emission component in the European emission legislation, can be strongly affected,
when not done properly.
Especially the measurements of critical gas components, which are not measured in
conventional emission systems, like NH3, are taken care by this special pre-filter. In addition it
has been designed to avoid long delay times and smoothening effects of the gases, which
would reduce the dynamic of transient measurements.

COLD START MEASUREMENT FOR 621


TI0621CSMA.01

The software option Cold Start Measurement enables the combustion analysis starting from the
first movement of the angle marks, as well as the acquisition of engine start measurement on
time base with following conversion to crank angle base.

In mode Cold Start the data are recorded from the very first movement of the engine without
waiting for synchronisation by the trigger pulse. The TDC correction is performed automatically
after stopping the measurement. Therefore, convenient check of all signals will be possible
immediately after measurement.
In the time based engine start measurement, an analog CDM trace (i.e. 60-2) is recorded in
addition to the measurement signals. After the measurement, the time based signals are
converted into CA-base and can consequently be used for calculation of CA or cycle based

63

results. A benefit of the time based start measurement is the recording of values before the
actual engine start.

Your Benefits at a Glance


CA-based start measurement:
Combustion analysis right from the very first angle mark
2 visualisation possibilities:- as strip chart- TDC compensated as overlapping cycles
No complicated re-cabling due to automatic internal re-routing of trigger and crank angle
signals
Time based start measurement:
Recording of signals before actual engine start
Precise conversion from time base to CA-base through interpolation of CDM
Notes
This software option is available for the IndiModul 621 with IndiCom only.
The time based start measurement requires IndiCom 2.0 or higher

MICROIFEM PIEZO 4CH SDC


TI04PIEZA.03

4-channel microIFEM 4P3G indicating amplifier for acquirement of combustion pressure signals
or other piezo electrical signals at the test bed or in the vehicle. With a switchable ground
potential also the application of mass isolated sensors is possible.
The robust mechanical design allows mounting close to the sensors, e.g. in a cable boom box.
This allows short cable distance between sensors and amplifiers and therefore allows lowest
impact of electromagnetic interference. The direct connection of piezo sensors reduces signal
drift and possible problems with polluted connectors. The wide range of temperature and the
small dimensions allow universal application.
Automatic sensor identification when using piezo-electric sensors with sensor identification
(SID). The amplifier is equipped with an additional SID board (with HF-technology), which
automatically detects the connected sensor. The allocation of all relevant sensor data is done
via sensor database. Additionally the operating time of the sensor will be registered. The

65

integrated operation time monitor updates the operation time information on the sensor data
connector in certain intervals to be set by the customer and thus enables the monitoring of the
calibration interval or a rough estimation of the sensor condition.
Alternatively the sensor identification or parameterization of sensors can be accomplished
selectively with an integrated Fischer connector using an applicable TEDS.
Your Benefits at a Glance

THERMO PROTECTION PH01


TIYF0592A.01

Thermo Protection for use with Transducers GM12D, GH12D, GU12P, GU12S and GU13X.
The Thermo Protection PH01 is to be used in case of extreme thermal load (knock analysis at
petrol engines; highly supercharged engines) or in cases where transducer accuracy is of
utmost importance.
The Thermo Protection reduces the combustion-gas quantitiy which is pulsing in the area of the
sensor membrane and withdraws its heat, so that the thermal load of the membrane is reduced.
Thus the membrane is protected and the cyclic drift of the transducer is reduced by approx.
50%.
In sooting engines (Diesel, GDI) the catch of the small bores of the Thermo protection or the
filling of the space between the membrane and the thermal protection has to be taken into
account and can be avoided by carrying out proper cleaning intervals.

OPTICAL ACCESS SYSTEM FOR


COMBUSTION RESEARCH

Technical University of Cluj is planning to use a single cylinder diesel engine for the
investigation of fuel injection, mixture formation and combustion events. For this purpose, AVL
has provided a quotation to upgrade an existing gasoline single cylinder engine with a diesel
cylinder head.
For the purpose of optical in-cylinder spray and combustion analysis Cluj and AVL have
identified the AVL VisioScope system as most suitable. This is offered in a separate standard
quotation.

THERMOVISION ADVANCED DIESEL


APPLICATION
TF0513DTVA.03

Software package for the calculation and display of spatial temperature distribution of a sooting
diesel flame. In addition large data sets can be evaluated automatically.
The software package Thermovision Advanced processes a number of measurements
automatically. The concise presentation of the flame temperature or the soot density versus
crank angle permits easy comparison of engine operation conditions.
The temperature is calculated offline from images of the diesel flame taken with the calibrated,
digital RGB camera of the VisioScope. The temperature and soot density calculation is based
on the 2-colour method with the model of a local homogeneous distribution of soot density.

80

Technical Insight
The diesel flame temperature or soot density images created by Thermovision Advanced
Software are split into zones which correspond to different combustion regimes (spray torch,
end gas) or other regions of interest. Within these zones an integral value of the flame
temperature respectively soot density is evaluated for every detail screen. These results are
saved in a spread sheet.
Results evaluated by Software ThermoVision (ThermoVision Statistics) can be exported as IFile for evaluated by CONCERTO. So temperature and soot density distributions can be
presented versus time (CA). Individual engine operating points therefore can be compared to
each other easily
The calculation of the temperature is carried out in two stages:
calibration of the image record
thermographic analysis
During the first processing stage, an optical correction factor can be defined either automatically
or manually. The correction factor allows the local layer thickness to be unambiguously
identified in the subsequent temperature analysis.
