Engine Telemetry


Real-time monitoring of engines

The Instrumentel in engine Telemetry System is a cost-effective electronic data acquisition and processing unit designed specifically for the testing and diagnostics of moving components in internal combustion engines. The system acquires and processes real-time, critical operating data such as temperature and strain from components within a working engine, usually from the back surface of the piston crown, during operation

At the heart of the systems is a wireless inductively coupled system that delivers operational data from compact, high temperature data transceivers or tags mounted to the component being monitored. This is typically a piston head or valve, but can include other moving parts such as turbos.

Variations of the system have to date been successfully applied to monitoring piston head and valve head temperatures in high performance motorsport engines, but it is equally applicable to commercial and consumer diesel and petrol engines.

Customer Benefits

Engine Telemetry delivers high quality data from in operation engines

The Instrumentel VTS delivers high quality data from in-operation engines, providing a unique insight into critical operating parameters such as strain or temperature from pistons, valves and turbos.

High temperature compact electronics plus wireless power and communications

The VTS features high temperature, compact electronics plus wireless power and communications, delivering data directly from normally inaccessible engine parts during operation.

Providing development engineers with important information to improve reliability and performance of the engine

Such engine diagnostics provide essential feedback on critical engine parts during normal operation, providing development engineers with important information to improve reliability and performance of the engine.
