“…However, signal quality depends strongly on the mechanical load path of the resulting package and is often below requirements. In-spark-plug devices [36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43] have been of interest since they do not require an additional access port to the combustion chamber. Significant engineering resources have been applied recently to develop an integrated spark plug pressure sensor as part of the ignition subsystem.…”

“…This may be achieved by including specially drilled holes in the engine block during the manufacturing process (Pinnock et al, 1987), or by the use of an optical guide down the centre of a purpose built spark plug (Witze and Hall, 1990). A simpler form of optical combustion pressure sensor has been described (Sasayama et al, 1985;Mironov et al, 1992), which uses a small diaphragm in the combustion chamber, whose deflection under pressure is measured by the phase modulation of a light beam reflected from its surface.…”

A new sensor has been developed which will enable engine pressure data to be available at a cost suitable for the average production vehicle. Unlike many previous devices this sensor will be suitable for the harsh environmental conditions of production vehicles themselves and not just the test environment. The sensor is small, extremely rugged and has a sufficiently wide bandwidth to be easily able to detect engine problems such as pre-ignition, miss-fire and malfunctioning engine components. Furthermore, the patented sensor technology does not require expensive electronic interfaces, but can use simple low-cost off the shelf components. The sensor's performance and limitations are discussed, based on real data from a single cylinder petrol engine. An analysis of the sensor output signals, showing both time and frequency domain data under varying load conditions, is also included.

“…Nowadays, indirect parameters of the combustion process are used to monitor the combustion state in the cylinder. Physical phenomena of combustion, such as light emission, ion current or crankshaft angular speed, can also be replaced by substitute data [5][6][7][8][9][10][11]. However, these measured data show different results at different locations, and sensors that were used in the system have problems with durability and in correlation with combustion.…”

Spark timing is one of the major parameters influencing engine performance and emissions. In most of today's automotive spark ignition (SI) engines an electronic control unit controls spark timing based on preset values that are functions of load and speed. In this system, the preset spark timing can be different from the optimum value owing to deviations from mass production, ageing effects and a number of other factors.In the present study, a control logic is investigated for the real-time adaptation of spark timing to the optimal value. The simulation program, including an engineering model for cycle-by-cycle combustion variation, is developed for investigating the spark timing control logic. It has been found that the location of the peak pressure in the cylinder is one of the appropriate parameters used to estimate the optimum spark timing. It is also shown that experimental results reflect the simulation outputs and reasonableness of the spark timing control logic for location of the peak pressure.
