Article: OPTRAND SPARKS OPPORTUNITIES FOR COMBUSTION PRESSURE SENSORS.(Product Information)(Company Profile)

Continuous cylinder pressure monitoring can significantly help optimize the efficiency, reliability, range of operability, and emissions levels of internal combustion engines that are, in turn, used in passenger cars, trucks, off-road vehicles, watercraft, locomotives, aircraft, oil & gas pipelines, or electricity generation. However, the use and proliferation of cylinder pressure sensors in combustion engines has, historically, been thwarted by concerns about the sensor's reliability, longevity, and cost. For example, the auto industry has tended to use mapping concepts (fixed parameters in the computer to set spark timing and air-fuel ratio under different engine load ...
