Real-Time Data Acquisition with True Real-time Combustion Analysis
Whether the job is complete engine design or the need to reduce emissions or improve fuel economy of an existing power plant, sophisticated real-time combustion analysis is one of the development engineer's most valuable tools.
The A&D Technology CAS system is the only full real-time combustion analysis system on the market. The CAS system's high-speed data acquisition and parallel processing architecture provides true cycle-by-cycle combustion metrics for instantaneous feedback on changes to combustion phasing. Real-time performance is critical to the successful implementation of automated mapping processes, which typically use combustion parameters such as knock, CA50 or IMEP for closed loop control.
Based on Windows XP or 2000, the CAS system software provides the user interface for configuring the data acquisition system and presenting the test results in a graphical format.
- Calculates mean effective pressure cycle by cycle for each of up to 12 cylinders
- Real-time knock analysis for up to 8 cylinders
- Mass fraction burn and heat-release calculations for every cycle
- O'scope toolbar for performing analysis on the fly
- Flexible o'scope displays pressure trace, injector signals and spark signals
- All system aspects are configured using the familiar Windows drop-down menus
- Includes DSP Plot, a powerful and versatile data review and analysis package for analyzing test results
High performance, High value
The CAS system's high performance doesn't mean high priced. CAS comes standard with essential functions such as time-based acquisition, knock analysis, post processing, offline data analysis and many other options that cost extra on other systems. Whether you use the full-sized RedLine or opt for the portable RedLine CAS II system, the same software runs on both of them. When compared to other combustion analysis systems, CAS offers extremely high value.
