In-Cylinder Pressure Sensor

Kavlico’s In-Cylinder Pressure Sensor has been developed for optimizing engine combustion and increasing fuel efficiency while reducing emissions.

The sensor assists with the timing and delivery of the fuel by providing accurate pressure information to the Engine Control Unit (ECU) to control fuel injection pulses, enhancing combustion, control, and cylinder pressure management while reducing gaseous and particulate emissions, all the while improving fuel consumption.

The sensor utilizes a thin film titanium oxynitride (TiON) sense element in an all-welded, hermetically sealed, stainless steel housing. The robust package design is ideally suited for hostile environments. Pressure ranges are available from 0-200 through 0-300 Bar.

The sensor operates on 5 Vdc and provides a linear amplified analog output of 0.5 to 4.5 Vdc proportional to pressure as standard with other custom output options. The sensor is impervious to electromagnetic interference (EMI).

The sensor has a small probe OD of 8mm and the probe can be specified up to 100mm in length. The sense element is located at the tip of the sensor, ensuring a highly accurate and fast output response time.
