It scans a ring gear at the camshaft. The information is then used, for example:. The meter is placed between the intake manifold and the air filter housing. It measures the air mass sucked in by the engine. This variable gives the basis for computing the fuel quantity that is required by the engine. The temperature of the ambient air is captured by the air temperature sensor.
The values measured are used as correction values for the injection system or to control various systems, for example, the air conditioning system. Depending on the air temperature that is to be measured, the installation location will differ. For example, the sensor for the intake temperature is situated in the air duct for the intake air. This sensor is screw-mounted within the cooling system. It records the temperature through the gauge tip that protrudes into the coolant.
To adapt the amount of fuel injected to the engine, the control unit uses this value. These sensors are fastened to the throttle valve axle. They keep track of the opening angle of the throttle valve. Based on the values, the engine electronics computes the fuel quantity which is injected based on other determinants. An uncontrolled form of combustion in a gasoline engine is called knocking. It must be checked and regulated since continuous knocking can damage the engine.
Knock sensors are always being monitored by the control unit. Intake pipe pressure sensors measure the intake pipe vacuum downstream of the valve and send this information to the engine control unit in a form of electrical signal. This value, along with the value of the air temperature sensor is combined so that the air mass sucked in can be calculated.
Mapping may be used to confirm certain areas in a chamber or the entire volume of a chamber meet the acceptance criteria, depending on how and where material is stored. A small chamber with very critical requirements and a tight acceptable range such as a pharmaceutical incubator or refrigerator may require more data points than a large room with a broad acceptable range such as a warehouse.
The limitation of any sensor in the mapping system is that it is only monitoring conditions at the probe itself, a singular point in space. The ability to ascertain the conditions throughout the chamber is dependent on having an adequate number of sensors strategically placed in all product storage areas.
Some of the causes of large variance in conditions can be inadequate airflow and circulation, locations of heating and cooling equipment, wall openings, windows, doors, and substandard insulation. If a chamber is well designed and constructed, conditions will always remain within the required ranges in a static state. But many chambers, especially warehouses and large rooms, rarely experience static conditions.
A mapping strategy should consider dynamic conditions that may occur within the chamber. Dynamic testing may include power loss testing, door openings and variance in loading.
Common sensors used in temperature mapping include units that use external thermocouples and dataloggers.
Thermocouple systems can provide instantaneous feedback during the testing to observe trends and problems that may need to be addressed before mapping of a chamber is completed.
Thermocouples react rapidly to changing temperatures due to their low thermal mass. Thermocouples are relatively inexpensive and can be repaired easily if damaged. Additionally, thermocouples with some mapping systems can have the thermocouples calibrated to a National Institute of Standards and Technology NIST calibrated standard prior to, and verify the calibrations immediately after the mapping.
Thermocouples can be used in harsh environments such as high heat, cryogen, immersion, caustic, or vacuum and are very accurate. However, thermocouple placement can be very time consuming and are difficult to use for large areas such as warehouses. In addition, separate sensors for RH have to be placed if RH requirements are part of the storage criteria. Dataloggers are small and can be rapidly placed. Dataloggers can range from inexpensive to very pricey. Dataloggers calibrated to NIST standards and that include calibration certificates tend to be much more expensive.
Many dataloggers can record both temperature and RH simultaneously. Some types of dataloggers have multiple channels for calibrated external thermocouples. Immediate feedback is available from some type of dataloggers that have the capacity to be networked or transmit data by RF.
For each catalytic converter, you will have two oxygen sensors. Many vehicles will have only one catalytic converter, and therefore, two oxygen sensors, but some can have four or more. Our technicians at Global Automotive recommend replacing all your sensors in the same appointment to save money, time and inconvenience. Typically, if you only replace one that has gone bad, you will be back through our door within 3 months to replace the other.
This costs time and incurs an additional cost for labor. These sensors play a critical role with fuel monitoring, delivery, MPG and timing as well as Emissions release.
Vehicles older than the mids will require replacement at 50, to 70, miles. Oxygen sensors are fairly easy to diagnose and replace. Typically, you cannot repair a faulty O2 sensor.
It must be replaced because of the technology and materials in its housing. You may also damage the sensitive technology. Some people do choose to replace the sensor themselves, but you do need a special socket to do so. The check engine light is telling you your car has a fever. It might be something minor, such as a loose gas cap. It could also mean a faulty catalytic converter or wires that have been damaged.
In some cars, a change in humidity can cause the check engine light to come on. Knowing why the check engine light is on can give you peace of mind, especially after making the necessary repairs.
Sun Devil Auto has 19 locations in the Phoenix Area that provide diagnosis, service, and repairs for all makes and models.
