Cylinder Pressure – electronic (PMImkII) Kistler Sensor
For the condition evaluation of the combustion process and the power distribution indicators are used since the development of the diesel engine and the steam engine. Since the late 1980s, these mechanical indicators, which record engine combustion pressure, are increasingly being replaced by electronic indicators.
The increasing increase in engine efficiency and cost pressure, as fuel prices have risen, have led to increased demands on electronic indicators in recent years. The data on the course of combustion are becoming increasingly important, since the introduction of electronic indicators has made it possible to collect data on board and send it by email, almost without delay, to the technical inspection for analysis.
Experts and service companies use this data to plan damage assessments and possible maintenance work and repairs to the engines even before the ships have arrived.
