2.2 CYLINDER PRESSURE SENSORS FOR ENGINE DEVELOPMENT
ZI45
The ZI45 is a spark-plug with integrated pressure sensor. The new M14
design has 0.0 mm eccentricity of the center electrode which allows
the ignition to behave in the same manner as the original spark plug.
In order to maximize the electric strength of the insulator, an increased
ceramic diameter and a completely new design of the sensor membrane
is used. All this results in impressive measurement performance
and highest reliability. The insulator of the spark-plug is manufactured
by Bosch. The sensor could be equipped with SIC for SDM.
