CLD500 Fast NOx

Real-Time Millisecond Response

NO/NOx Concentration Measurement

• Ultra-fast response time (<2.5ms)

• Two channel operation
• Continuous real-time sampling
Ultra-Fast NO/NOx Concentration Measurement
Cambustion began making fast response emissions detectors in 1987, and has customers
world-wide.

By using a unique patented sampling system coupled to a ChemiLuminescence Detector (CLD

- the industry standard for measurement of oxides of nitrogen), the CLD500 is able to resolve
NO concentration fluctuations with a typical response time of less than 2ms.

The CLD500 control unit is rack-mounted remotely, incorporates all control and calibration
systems and supports two independent sample heads via 10m long flexible cables. The user-
interface is PC-based, and a serial link provides communication between the computer and
control unit. The user-interface provides auto-calibration, automatic self-testing and fault-
finding functions to make operating the system simple.

Annual maintenance is included for first year and renewable on request. A full range of
accessories for various applications are available.

Suggested Applications
Gasoline, diesel, 2-stroke, or gaseous fuel engine applications include:
• Transient calibration
• Cycle-by-cycle measurement
• NOx trap development
