Optical gas imaging(OGI) cameras are specialized inspection cameras used to visually detect and monitor gas leaks and emissions through infrared technology.... OGI cameras operate by capturing infrared radiation emitted from gases, which is invisible to the naked eye. This capability allows them to detect gases such as methane, sulfur hexafluoride, and many volatile organic compounds... 3, record 1, English, - optical%20gas%20imaging%20camera

Researchers at the River Road Environmental Technology Centre annually carry out about 1, 500 different types of motor vehicle tests by "driving" test cars on a chassis dynamometer. The data obtained gives Environment Canada an idea of the kinds and amounts of emissions being generated by Canada's 13 million automobiles. The dynamometer, a treadmill-like device which, in conjunction with sampling equipment and extremely accurate gas analyses, allows computers to tally a vehicle's emissions of hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide and NOx under simulated driving conditions. Automotive manufacturers use similar equipment to certify vehicles before they are mass-produced; the tests serve as spot checks to monitor actual emissions. 2, record 4, English, - chassis%20dynamometer

When specifying a mass flow control system, the first consideration is whether the process will take place at constant system pressure, constant throughput, and/or predetermined gas flow ratio. Another important consideration is whether system control will be automatic(microprocessor) or manual(setpoint potentiometers).... There are three major state-of-the-art systems that can be identified. The first uses a flowmeter(s)... as the primary transducer(s) to monitor mass flow. Using this format, a signal is compared in control circuitry to a setpoint signal. This generates an error voltage which is used to drive a valve, thus continuously controlling the flow. The second major type of system uses a pressure transducer as the primary sensing element. System pressure is held either constant or varied at a predetermined rate by controlling the mass flow rate of process gases. This leads to a third type of system that slaves valves and flowmeters to the primary sensing. 1, record 12, English, - mass%20flow%20controller

Used to monitor solids flow, liquid, or gas cavitation, machinery faults, and valve leaks. The non-invasive sensors detect friction and impacts generated by leaks, flow, or gas cavitation. The sensors are utilized by attaching to the outside of chutes, pipes, or valves.
