Pressure

Cylinder pressure sensor Type 7614CG1/7614CG2

for on-line combustion control

Piezoelectric pressure sensor with galvanic isolated 4 … 20 mA

output signal for continuous cylinder pressure measurement
for medium and low speed diesel and gas engines

• Robust design, with excellent long term stability

• Suitable for knock detection
• Very good thermodynamic behaviour
• Front end sealing or shoulder sealing

Description
The M14 × 1.25 sensor and the in-line charge amplifier are
connected by a  robust Fluorelastomer-cable. The patented
“antistrain” design, makes the measuring element insensi-
tive to varying mounting conditions. The Quartz-measuring
element is extremely stable and provides a very accurate and
repeatable output signal over the whole life time. The sensor
has been designed so that a life of several thousand operating
hours can be achived in a diesel and gas engines, but individual
sensor life time is strongly depending on application. Technical data

 Cylinder Pressure Sensor for On-line Combustion Control, Type 7614CG1/7614CG2

Mounting General specifications

The sensor should be installed close to the combustion chamber.
The length of the indicating bore between sensor and combustion ATEX II 3G Ex nA IIC T3 Gc
chamber depends mainly on the engine speed, a too long bore IECEx IECEx nA IIC T3 Gc
may generate pipe oscillations disturbing the measuring signal. Marine approval GL, ABS, BV, LR, DNV, CSS

An installation at the indicator valve is not recommended for

continuous measuring because the operating temperature may Connector
exceed the admissible temperature range. 1 Exct GND
