  • Publication number: 20170038092
    Abstract: For the automated adjustment of a heating system (2), there is produced between an exhaust-gas measuring device (1) and a control unit (26) a data connection (6) via which data, measurement values or control or setting signals for the adjustment of the heating system (2) are transmitted at least from the exhaust-gas measuring device (1) to the control unit (26). During the adjustment of the heating system (2), at least one exhaust-gas parameter is measured in automated fashion by way of at least one exhaust-gas sensor (4) of the exhaust-gas measuring device (1), and determined measurement values are automatically detected by the exhaust-gas measuring device (1). Then, a deviation of the determined measurement value from an exhaust-gas-parameter-specific and/or installation-specific setpoint value is determined, and in a manner dependent on the determined deviation, an automated adjustment of the heating system (2) is performed, said adjustment being initiated by the control unit (26) (cf. FIG. 1).

  • Patent number: 8852950
    Abstract: A method for determining an NOx concentration in a measurement gas is provided, where a measurement value for the NOx concentration is determined from the sensor signal of a gas sensor and a measurement value for the concentration of a second component in the measurement gas is determined. A corrected value for the NOx in the measurement gas is determined from the measurement values, and the measurement value and the corrected measurement value for the NOx concentration are displayed and/or output.

  • Patent number: 8527179
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a device for determining specific emissions as an exhaust gas characteristic of an internal combustion engine. Said method is characterized in that the exhaust gas mass flow (3) is determined as the first operating parameter and the engine power output (2) as the second operating parameter, the nitrous oxide mass flow (3) and the engine power output (2) are derived from a respective measured value that deviates from the operating parameter and the exhaust gas characteristic is calculated as a quotient from the corrected exhaust gas mass flow (3) and the engine power output (2).
