Exhaust gas analyser An exhaust gas analyser is a measuring instrument that serves to determine the volume fractions of specified components of the exhaust gas of a motor vehicle engine with spark ignition at the moisture level of the sample analysed. These gas components are carbon monoxide (CO), carbon dioxide (CO_(2)), oxygen (O_(2)) and hydrocarbons (HC). The content of hydrocarbons has to be expressed as concentration of n-hexane (C_(6)H_(14)), measured with near-infrared absorption techniques. The volume fractions of the gas components are expressed as a percentage (% vol) for CO, CO_(2) and O_(2) and in parts per million (ppm vol) for HC. Moreover, an exhaust gas analyser calculates the lambda value from the volume fractions of the components of the exhaust gas.
