Application of balance in measurement of diesel particulate matter

introduction

With the continuous advancement of emission regulations, the emission limits of diesel engines are becoming more and more strict. This puts higher requirements on the research and development of diesel, which requires the supply of a large number of reliable particle measurement data for research and development. The accuracy and reliability of the balance also raises higher requirements.

Apply Sartorius balances to meet regulatory requirements

The emission regulations of GB17691-2005 issued by China clearly stipulate the particulate matter emission limits of the national III, national IV and national V stages: the particulate matter limit of the steady state cyclic ESC (European Steady state Cycle) is 0.1g/kwh, 0.02 g/kwh, 0.02 g/kwh; the particulate matter limit of the transient cycle ETC (European Transient Cycle) is 0.16 g/kwh, 0.03 g/kwh, 0.03 g/kwh, respectively. As far as China's current national IV standard is implemented, the weight of particulate matter collected on the filter paper in the ETC cycle may be only a few hundred micrograms. Very small deviations will have a huge impact on the experimental results. Therefore, the measurement balance of the particulate matter should have Sufficient accuracy and resolution. In the regulations, there is also a clear requirement for weighing balances: “The analytical balance used to weigh all filter papers should have an accuracy of 20 μg (standard deviation) and a resolution of 10 μg (1 digit = 10 μg). 70mm filter paper, accuracy and resolution should be 2μg and 1μg respectively.” We chose the Sartorius filter balance, the balance resolution is 0.1μg, the accuracy is 0.252μg, its accuracy and resolution is much higher than At this stage, the National IV standard requires that this is to meet the higher requirements of the World Harmonized Transient Cycle (WHTC) and the WHC (World Harmonised Steady State Cycle). It should be noted that the particulate matter limit of WHTC and WHSC of Euro 6 is 0.01. g/kwh, which is one-third of the current ETC, half of the ESC, the high accuracy and high repeatability of the Sartorius balance, makes this demand satisfied.

Anti-static interference solution

The filter paper used in engine particulate matter discharge is a fluorocarbon coated glass fiber filter paper or a fluorocarbon-based membrane filter paper, which is prone to static electricity and has a large influence on the accuracy of the symmetry amount. In order to remove the interference of static electricity, Sartorius gave an excellent solution to ground the balance and cooperate with Sartorius in addition to the electrostatic pen (as shown in Figure 1), which greatly reduced the interference of static electricity. At the same time, the use of the electrostatic pen is also very simple and fast, does not require any complicated operation, greatly improving the efficiency of the work.

Sartorius balance humanized design

The automatic calibration function isoCAL of the Sartorius balance ensures fast, accurate and convenient calibration of the balance. The entire calibration process is only a few minutes, which not only ensures the reliability of the data, but also greatly improves the efficiency of the work.

In order to meet the needs of research and development, the gantry conducts a large number of particulate matter discharge experiments every day. If all the particle measurement data requires manual input and calculation, it is easy to confuse errors during the data recording process, and also reduce the work efficiency. The Sartorius balance provides an interface for external devices, which can control the weighing of the balance by an external computer and record the data, so that the entire weighing process can be automated and informatized, which not only shields the error that human records are easy to make, but also Improve work efficiency and facilitate data management.

Food Grade

Food-grade plant extracts are one of the types of plant extracts. They can be used for food additives. They are purely natural, non-hazardous, and natural food additives derived from nature. It can be eaten directly without harm to the human body. It can supplement the nutrients needed by the human body. For example, the natural mushroom extract powder contains polysaccharides, which has anti-ulcer, anti-inflammatory, anti-tumor, strengthens immunity, delays aging, and reduces blood sugar. The role of lowering blood lipids. It is a natural food-grade supplement that can be consumed directly or added to food, which is very beneficial to understanding.
