The physical and chemical processes within the combustion engine chamber have been challenging researchers since 1876. Now, due to ever more stringent legislation, minor details play a major role, and understanding sensor behaviour is becoming critical: knowing the sensor itself is essential for accuracy and for interpreting results.
In this free 60-minute webinar, Hannes Offenbacher, Product Manager, Combustion Measurement Transducers at AVL discusses the properties of several pressure sensor types and how they are used in various applications (e.g. thermodynamics, knocking) or mounting positions (direct mounted, spark plug sensors etc.). Cylinder pressure sensors are at the heart of modern engine development, so choosing the right sensor solution is more important than ever for meeting the requirements of future legislation.
