Description of AMM operation
The AMM is used to measure the gasoline emission
components CO, HC, CO
2
be retrofitted). The excess air factor (Lambda) is
calculated on the basis of the gas values measured.
The non-dispersive infrared method is employed for
measuring the CO, CO
and HC components. The
2
oxygen component is established by means of an O
sensor with electrochemical action.
3.6.1
Warm-up time
The warm-up time is roughly one minute. Measurements
cannot be taken during this period.
3.6.2
Zero calibration
At the start of measurement and once measurement
has been started, the BEA performs zero calibration
automatically with ambient air at irregular intervals (the
oxygen measurement drift is monitored and corrected
if necessary). For zero calibration purposes, the BEA
switches a solenoid valve to ambient air (also referred
to as zero gas). The system is flushed with ambient air
for 30 seconds. An activated charcoal filter removes the
hydrocarbons from the ambient air drawn in.
i
If measurement is in progress, zero calibration is
postponed until the end of the measurement.
3.6.3
Excess air factor (Lambda) measurement
The BEA calculates the excess air factor (Lambda) from
the measured HC, CO, CO
The Lambda value is calculated with the aid of the
Brettschneider formula:
[ ]
Concentration in % by vol, also for HC
K1
Conversion factor for HC from NDIR to FID
(value 8)
HCV Hydrogen/carbon ratio in the fuel
(typically 1.7261) *
OCV Oxygen/carbon ratio in the fuel
(typically 0.0175) *
*
Depending on the fuel used. These values can be altered by
Bosch Service.
