The system consists of a single-count-mode condensation particle counter to count particle numbers (PNC), and volatile particle remover(VPR).
The VPR includes exhaust gas diluters which can supply diluted exhaust gas to the a PNC and volatile particle remover.
The sample aerosol taken from CVS tunnel goes into the VPR to remove volatile particles and the particle numbers are counted by the PNC.
The VPR consists of a couple of diluters and heater.
The primary diluter can dilute sample aerosol more than 10 times with the dried air and the diluted sample aerosol goes into the evaporation tube(ET) to remove volatile particles, then finally the heated aerosol is rapidly diluted in the secondary diluter to prevent re-condensation of volatile particles.

EU Regulations

 A new EU regulations of particle numbers (6*1011/km) for Euro 5b on diesel engine vehicles will be started from September 2011 in addition to the conventional mass PMs(5.0mg/km to 4.5mg/km).
A new category vehicle (6*1011/km) with gasoline direct injection engine will be included in this regulation in a period of transition for Euro 6 from 2014.
New proposals are also being suggested to legislate mass NOx and THC+NOx in a period of transition for Euro 6 (depend on the category of vehicles)

Applications

• Approval tests for PN from the vehicles export to the EU countries
• Several kind of DPF tests
• GDI engines research

FAQ

Is it possible to take sample from tail pipe with PMS-M2?

It is not possible because PMS-M2 is designed only for taking sample from CVS tunnel. It may be possible to take sample from tail pipe with another model of PMS-T2.

Is it required to make some additional constructions during the installation?

Only require the power supply, air supply with 0.3MPa and exhaust ducts are required.
