Gas engine applications vary from simple knock detection to controlling gas injection. Despite the high mechanical loadings and corrosive heavy fuel oil there have been no diaphragm fatigue failures.
The robust Type Typ 6613CA sensor with integral amplifier for continuous measurement of cylinder pressures offers outstanding longevity and constant sensitivity.
One of the most important applications of this sensor is the American gas pipeline industry, where it has already been used for monitoring for some years. One of the first users, Panhandle Energy, has already achieved service lives in excess of 16 000 hours from this sensor on its gas engines.
