Exhaust gas analyzer Exhaust gas analyzer An exhaust gas analyser or exhaust CO analyser is an instrument for the measurement of carbon monoxide among other gases in the exhaust, caused by an incorrect combustion, the Lambda coefficient measurement is the most common. The principles used for CO sensors (and other types of gas) are infrared gas sensors (NDIR) and chemical gas sensors. "Carbon monoxide sensors are" used to assess the CO amount during an MOT test. In order to be used for such test it must be approved as suitable for use in the scheme. In UK a list of acceptable exhaust gas
Exhaust gas recirculation particulate filter (DPF) at normal operating temperatures. This process is known as passive regeneration. Increasing EGR rates cause passive regeneration to be less effective at managing the PM loading in the DPF. This necessitates periodic active regeneration of the DPF by burning diesel fuel in the oxidation catalyst in order to significantly increase exhaust gas temperatures through the DPF to the point where PM is quickly burned by the residual oxygen in the exhaust. By feeding the lower oxygen exhaust gas into the intake, diesel EGR systems lower combustion temperature, reducing emissions of NOx. This makes combustion less efficient, compromising
