Exhaust gas temperature sensors are indispensable in modern vehicles. They monitor the hot exhaust gas flow and protect components from overheating.
Features
- temperature range: –40 to +1,000 °C
- high accuracy
- short response time via thin-layer platinum resistor
- high long-term stability
- stainless steel housing
- robust against mechanical, thermal and chemical strain
Typical applications include:
- protection of temperature-sensitive components, e.g. turbocharger and all types of catalytic converter (3-way, NOx storage, SCR or diesel-oxidation catalytic converter)
- monitoring of the free-burning process (recovery) of the diesel particulate filter
- controlling the optimal temperature window for catalytic converters
- measuring the EGR exhaust gas temperature as part of the on-board diagnostics (OBD)
