Engine Filtration Training and Filter Testing - Engine Emissions and Particle Counting Training.


RICHFIELD, Minn. -- The American Filtration and Separations Society (AFS A distributed file system for large, widely dispersed Unix and Windows networks from Transarc Corporation, now part of IBM. It is noted for its ease of administration and expandability and stems from Carnegie-Mellon's Andrew File System.

AFS - Andrew File System
) is offering short course training on October 15th in Ann Arbor, Michigan

Ann Arbor is a city in the U.S. state of Michigan and the county seat of Washtenaw County.
.

To kickoff the "Emission Solutions in Transportation" Conference that the American Filtration and Separations Society (AFS) is holding in Ann Arbor Ann Arbor, city (1990 pop. 109,592), seat of Washtenaw co., S Mich., on the Huron River; inc. 1851. It is a research and educational center, with a large number of government and industrial research and development firms, many in high-technology fields such as , there will be seven short courses on October 15, 2007. Two of these courses are "Engine Filtration" and "Filter Testing - Engine Emissions and Particle Counting."

The "Engine Filtration" course will provide practical information on all of the critical engine filtration systems, including air, crankcase crank·case

crankcase
Noun

the metal case that encloses the crankshaft in an internal-combustion engine
 ventilation, fuel, lube and emission control The selective and controlled use of electromagnetic, acoustic, or other emitters to optimize command and control capabilities while minimizing, for operations security: a. detection by enemy sensors; b. mutual interference among friendly systems; and/or c.  subsystems. For each subsystem, filter behavior, requirements, operation, and design will be discussed. Recent diesel engine emission regulations have resulted in new performance requirements for the various filter subsystems. This course will especially benefit those newer to the field by providing a basic understanding of engine filtration. Those involved in the design and testing, and use of engine filter and filter media should attend.

The "Filter Testing - Engine Emissions and Particle Counting" course will provide practical information on testing associated with emissions control Emissions control may refer to:
  • EMCON, a military state of readiness.
  • Automobile emissions control
  • Power Station Emissions Control
. It covers both the measurement of combustion byproducts, e.g., exhaust and crankcase emissions, and with maintaining the integrity of the fuel injection system required to meet emission regulations.

The course will begin with an overview of engine emission testing, including performance, certification, and verification of crankcase ventilation and emission control subsystems. For each gaseous gas·e·ous
adj.
1. Of, relating to, or existing as a gas.

2. Full of or containing gas; gassy.
 and PM component, its formation mechanism and environmental impaction will be discussed. Instrument, requirements, and operation of measuring these pollutants pollutants

 will be specified. Recent development on regulatory testing procedures for ultra-low emissions will be introduced.

The second half of the course will deal with particle counting diesel fuel and lube oil samples. High pressure common rail fuel injection systems are a key part of emission controls systems and it is critical to protect them from fine, abrasive contaminants. Optical particle counting is the primary measurement tools for contamination control Procedures to avoid, reduce, remove, or render harmless (temporarily or permanently) nuclear, biological, and chemical contamination for the purpose of maintaining or enhancing the efficient conduct of military operations.  programs. This course will cover the theory of optical particle counting, calibration methods, and specialized techniques for the analysis of diesel fuel and used lube oil samples.

This course will benefit those newer to the field by providing a basic understanding of engine emissions and particle counting. Those involved in the design, testing, and use of aftertreatment systems, as well as those engaged in contamination control and filter media should attend.
