1. Diesel Engine
a. Electric Engine Governor
Engine governor is the mechanism to maintain the constant engine speed. Our angle position sensor has been installed in the governor for the angle or stroke sensing of the actuator.
b. Exhaust Gas Treatment
Diesel engine tends to release harmful substances such as Nox and PM compared to the gasoline engine.
In order to restrain the generation of the harmful substances by improving the combustion efficiency of the engine, our angle position sensor is used for adjusting the injection amount and injection timing of the fuel injection pump in response to the control of the governor.
Sensor Example
2. Bridge/ Wheel House
Marine Engine Remote Control
Marine engine remote control is a device to control and monitor the engine speed and condition of the diesel engine from the bridge or the control room. Our angle position sensors are used as sensors for the control levers and control dials.
