Real-time monitoring of engine valves
The Instrumentel Valve Telemetry System is a cost-effective electronic data acquisition and processing unit designed specifically for the testing and diagnostics of moving valves in internal combustion engines.
The system acquires and processes real-time, critical operating data such as temperature and strain from the valves within a working engine, usually with the electonics being mounted at the top of the valve with temperature sensors featuring at the base where the temperature is at its maximum.
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
