The optimization of combustion can be performed on large engines of various designs. The cylinder pressure sensor 6636A2 has a smaller sensor body and an M10 thread, while the sensor type 7636A2 is equipped with an M14 thread. On the right side, the sensor (6635A1) for use in four-stroke large engines is shown.
CIMAC stands for “Conseil International des Machines à Combustion” and is the leading non-profit association for promoting the development of ship propulsion, train drives and power generation. Its members from 27 countries around the world are made up of national associations as well as manufacturers and operators of this technology. The CIMAC World Congress, which is held every three years, offers the industry a unique platform for exchanging information and presenting innovations. International shipping, in which large combustion engines represent the standard drive technology, has been in the spotlight for many years when it comes to CO₂ emissions in transportation. The ambitious goals that the IMO has set in terms of achieving climate neutrality can only be reached through the use of innovative technology. For that reason, this year’s congress will focus on the latest developments in connection with alternative fuels in particular.
