Leveraging proprietary technology from GE Sensing & Inspection Technologies, this high accuracy soot sensor improves diesel fuel economy and meets the stringent performance requirements of heavy duty and automotive diesel engines.
As we talked to major vehicle OEMs and diesel engine manufacturers, it became clear that the industry needed an improved sensing solution to better control DPF regeneration, said Tim Dummer, global director of transportation at GE Sensing & Inspection Technologies. To meet this need GE and a major equipment manufacturer collaborated to develop, validate and benchmark this innovative technology.
Meeting the strict particulate matter regulations cost effectively, such as the US Tier 4 emissions regulation, requires the ability to measure DPF loading with high accuracy. The innovative DPF Soot Sensor utilizes radio frequency technology from GE Sensing & Inspection Technologies to achieve much more accurate measurement of DPF soot loadings compared to conventional differential pressure sensors in the market. The ACCUSOLVE DPF Soot Sensor is a breakthrough product enabling optimization and extension of the DPF regeneration cycle and results in improved fuel economy, reduced thermal history, and improved filter life. Along with fuel economy and increased asset productivity, benefits also include extended DPF service intervals & reduced warranty costs.
GE Sensing & Inspection Technologies is a UK-based provider of sensing elements, devices, instruments, and systems.
