COMBUSTION ANALYSIS

the only method of obtaining maximum power or efficiency economically and in a minimum amount of time.

In-cylinder pressure measurement of gasoline spark ignition internal combustion
engines
with nonintrusive Kistler transducers. Two-week project completion with
same-day 85-page Performance Combustion Analysis Report presented in
digital and bound format (detail).

The In-cylinder pressure measurement format includes
  • Individual cylinder pressure measurement every engine cycle for 200 engine cycles
  • 720 degrees of crankshaft rotation each engine cycle
  • 288,000 data points for each 200 engine cycle test
  • Crank angle measurement to .5 degree with AVL 365 optical encoder
