Abstract
The present invention is concerned with a system and method for monitoring the exhaust emissions of combustion engines such as diesel engines equipment used in underground mining operations. The system comprises a gas analyzer capable of measuring the concentration of at least one exhaust gas from the exhaust emissions, the analyzer being coupled to a computer that processes the data collected from the gas analyzer. The processed data is then displayed to the operator on a computer screen, so that the monitoring is carried out in real time.
