Exhaust gas emissions from diesel engines are an extremely complex mixture of potentially hazardous gases. While there is general agreement as to the identification of the health hazards associated with diesel exhaust, there is also wide disagreement as to the extent of the hazards. In some cases, there are also conflicting opinions as to the safe exposure limits that should be observed.
With the implementation of the MDG 29 in April 2008 the New South Wales Department of primary industries provide a Guideline to deal with Diesel Engine Pollutants in Underground environments.
The Dräger MSI 150 Euro-E
Portable, fast and accurate Diesel emission testing
The Dräger MSI 150 Euro-E is the next generation diesel emissions analyzer. The instrument is designed to measure CO, NO, NO2 and NOx emissions from diesel combustion engines. It incorporates data-logging and download to PC via cable or printing via infra-red interface. The large liquid crystal display shows 4 lines of information and is backlit for ease of use in poorly lit areas. All functions of the MSI 150 Euro-E are accessed through the three keys located under the display. Operation is extremely easy, with prompts provided throughout the measuring process.
The New MSI 150 Euro-E is encased in a robust coated aluminum case with rubber housing for added protection and a magnetic holder for hands free operation. The user can adjust the engine speeds on the instrument display.Reference number, date & time, engine rpm and measured values can all be stored in the instrument’s memory for later download to PC. The user can also save time by locking the measured values for low idle, high idle and load conditions and saving these to memory all at once. A printer with Infra-Red interface is available as an optional accessory to enable on the spot print-outs of measured values.
