Kistler Model 6613CA Cylinder Pressure Transmitter
Sensor designed with optimum service life for continuous cylinder pressure monitoring in diesel and gas engines. Because
of its low thermal shock and high stability over the long term, this sensor is suitable for demanding monitoring and
control tasks.
The quartz measuring element and the charge amplifier
incorporated in the plug are interconnected by an integral
cable. The charge amplifier has two measuring ranges
and selectable time constants. The short time constant
guarantees stability of the output signal even with
rapid changes in load and speed. The long time constant
allows static calibration of the measuring chain. The
measuring range and/or time constants are selected by
appropriate interconnection of the plug pins. As a result
of its patented "anti-strain" design, the measuring
element is insensitive to integral mounting, and largely
insensitive to dirt and contamination. The rugged diaphragm
permits the sensor to be used for knock detection.
The life expectancy of the sensor has been designed
so that a life of > 16,000 h can be achieved in a
gas engine running. With heavy oil operation, the service
life depends very much on the corrosion occurring, while
extreme contamination can reduce measuring accuracy.
