Horiba MEXA-554JU Automotive Emission Analyzer

Product Description

ON SALE Horiba MEXA-554JU Automotive Emission Analyzer is a sampling-type meter that primarily measures unburned hydrocarbons (UHC) and carbon monoxide (CO).

It is part of the larger MEXA series of emission measurement systems, known for durability and reliable data for industrial purposes.

Key Specifications

• Measured Components : The analyzer is used for measuring UHC (unburned hydrocarbons) and CO (carbon monoxide).
• Measurement Principle : It is described as a sampling-type meter. While the exact detection method for the 554JU specifically isn’t detailed in the search snippets, similar Horiba analyzers in the MEXA range use Non-Dispersive Infrared (NDIR) for CO and CO₂ and Flame Ionization Detector (FID) for HC measurements.
• Accuracy and Range : The specific measurement ranges and accuracy depend on the configuration and calibration. In one research context, the range for CO emission was cited as 0–10% vol with an accuracy of ± 0.06%.
• Application : It is frequently used in experimental investigations and engine test benches for research purposes, such as testing alternative fuels, where it is calibrated with standard gases before each experiment.
• Connectivity : It includes RS-232C capability for remote control and data acquisition, allowing it to interface with a PC or host computer for test automation and data logging.
• Portability : While part of a larger system, it is noted for being relatively compact and durable for rigorous daily use.
