Piezocryst
Advanced Sensorics: By combining the expertise of the AVL group, AVL
DiTEST and Piezocryst have created a novel product for tuning shops,
garages, as well as all motorsports. The combination of Piezocrysts’
sensor know-how with the systems knowledge of AVL DiTEST enables us to
create an inexpensive, easy to use measurement and diagnosis system for
cylinder pressure by determining essential engine parameters for
performance improvements or diagnostic testing. The system is based on
sensor solutions that utilize the existing engine bores and thereby
enable a fast and simple assembly. To achieve this, the pressure inside
the cylinder is measured by replacing the glow plug in diesel vehicles
by a compliant mounting pressure sensor and the sparkplug in gasoline
engines by a pressure measuring sparkplug. The measurement provides a
variety of information such as compression or maximal pressure. It also
detects irregular combustion in gasoline engines (such as detonation and
preignition) and in combination with the crank angle signal, the
position of fractional mass burn (e.g. crank angle to achieve 50% mass
burn), the indicated mean effective pressure, or the torque-time
performance of each cylinder. . ... |

Mold Cavity Pressure Shows Process and Quality O.K.! |
| |
|
Kistler:
For over 30 years cavity pressure has been the process parameter of
greatest importance in evaluating molding conditions. It is not for
nothing that experts regard this variable as the fingerprint of
injection molding. The curve of the cavity pressure for a particular
process and molding is just as distinctive and unmistakable as the human
fingerprint. It uniquely identifies the quality of each and every
component. Deviations from the optimum are clear indications of
fluctuations in the process that lead to molding defects ranging from
incomplete mold filling to flashing or dimensional discrepancies.
Predominantly used for optimization and analysis of the injection
molding process in the initial years, cavity pressure measurement is now
synonymous with every molding achieving the required quality through
100% monitoring of volume production, and with rapid, systematic
start-up of processes without significant initial reject rates. Cavity
pressure sensors for any conceivable materials and mounting situations,
simple sensor mounting, patented single-wire technology for quick and
reliable cabling of molds, convenient multichannel cabling for
connecting the sensors, and the CoMo Injection monitoring system type
2869B… with its multiplicity of functions: these are the modern tools
used to routinely take and exploit this fingerprint. ... |

offers a multitude of cooling and switching adapters for accurate
measurement of absolute pressure in the exhaust system of combustion
engines. Sensors installed in cooling adapters are constantly exposed to
the exhaust gases, while sensors in switching adapters only come into
contact with the exhaust gases during the measuring periods. When the
switching adapter is not activated the diaphragm is exposed to ambient
pressure. This increases the life of the sensors, particularly in
combustion engines with high exhaust temperatures and high pressure
fluctuations. The new switching adapter Type 7533A... has a M14x1,25
thread for connection to the exhaust system. In order to be able to use
existing bores, the adapters 7543A1 (G1/2”) and 7543A2 (M18x1,5/thread
lambda probe) are available. Various models of the switching adapter are
available for the sensors ... |

Cavity Pressure Sensors without Cables |
| |
|
As
technology leader in sensors and systems for monitoring injection
molding processes, Kistler presents a new generation of cavity
pressure sensors without connecting cables. These designs use the
mechanical support sleeve to conduct the pressure signals from the
sensor via mold platens. Cable-free sensors simplify handling and
mounting, increase flexibility and availability and cut maintenance
costs. The first cavity pressure sensors to be available with a spring
contact for this new approach to conducting the charge will be Types
6183AN (front diameter of 1 mm) and 6182BN (2,5 mm). With this new
technology the sensor is mounted with a sleeve that supports it in the
mold platen or the molding module and senses the forces under load. In
the cable-free system this sleeve is designed to transfer the charge
signals of the sensor from the sensor to a contact element in the
supporting mold platen. The moldmaker can shorten the sleeve as required
to suit different platen thicknesses. The ends of the sleeve are
finished square with its axis. The contact element is provided with a
single-wire cable that transfers the charge to the single- or
multichannel connector on the mold. ... |

Heavy Duty Truck Applications |
| |
|
Kavlico,
a global business unit of Custom Sensors & Technologies (CST) and an
operation of Schneider Electric, is pleased to announce the development
of their new sensor for urea-air dosing utilizing (AUS32) Aqueous Urea
Solution 32.5% or AdBlue™ in Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR)
after-treatment systems with diesel engines. This (AUS32) solution is
high purity urea in de-mineralized water that is clear, non-toxic, and
safe to handle. Kavlico’s urea-dosing sensor generates an output used to
provide feedback to the SCR system to assist in optimizing the reduction
of NOx emissions by monitoring the SCR system and helping to determine
the appropriate amount of AdBlue reducing agent to be delivered to the
catalytic converter module. AdBlue is carried on-board SCR-equipped
trucks and buses in specially designed tanks and it is dosed into the
SCR system at a rate equivalent to 3-5% of diesel consumption. The low
dosing rate ensures long refill periods and minimizes the tank’s impact
on chassis space. Currently used throughout Europe, Japan, Australia,
Hong Kong, Taiwan, Korea, New Zealand, and Singapore in on-highway SCR
systems, urea dosing will become prevalent in North America due to
legislative limits placed upon NOx emissions. Kavlico’s urea-dosing

Filling Contents in Tanks - Accurate,
digital, battery powered, waterproof |
| |
|
Under
the name of Castello, Keller AG has introduced a flexible,
modular system for the accurate indication of the content of a liquid in
a tank. Castello offers a user-friendly way to represent the pressure
measurement at the bottom of a tank as the quantity of remaining liquid.
At the push of a button, the microprocessor performs the calculations
using the information of the tank shape and dimensions and displays the
remaining tank content quantity on the clearly legible 5-digit LED
display in the desired unit (litres, gallons etc.). The easy to use
software to configure Castello is free of charge. It contains the most
current tank shapes. Other tank shapes can be easily integrated at the
factory. The exclusive use of absolute pressure sensors in the Castello
system eliminates the use of capillary vented cables with all the

Pressure transmitter / temperature transmitter for
dual-mode engines |
| |
|
With
the approval of the Series 22 DT transmitter Keller AG für
Druckmesstechnik, Winterthur (Switzerland) has succeeded in moving
into the area of production engine applications that are governed by
extreme demands. So-called dual-mode vehicles have experienced a
tremendous boom due to the voluntary commitment of European car
manufacturers to reduce CO2 emissions to 140 g/km by 2008. These
vehicles can be operated using normal petrol during the start-up phase
and then with natural gas during continuous operation. The combustion of
natural gas such as methane (CH4) creates 25% less CO2 than petrol with
the same engine performance. The pan-European introduction and promotion
of this dual-mode technology has forced leading manufacturers to undergo
additional system optimisation that includes exact control of the gas
pressure and highly-dynamic measurement of the gas temperature directly
at the distributor (rail). Keller AG für Druckmesstechnik has developed
the transmitters ... |
