I should have used the words "Rate of pressure rise per degree of rotation"...........thanks for bringing it to my attention .........
It is my understanding that the measurement of "Rate of pressure rise per degree of rotation" begins with any increase in pressure from the combustion process...
A little more back ground: I stumbled on this with trying to tune IDI diesels for Vegetable Oil a few years back...........after doing a lot of research, I have found several patents from glow plug manufactures beginning the the 1980's which are very similar to the method I use, and I now know...
Gentlemen, my questions are about a method that I use to "tune a older style IDI diesel with mechanical injection"
Basically, I utilizes the Seebeck Effect of the glow plug and monitor the millivolts produced............I monitor this under real driving conditions............I only use the...
Hello. Sorry for the length of this post, I hope that the information will lead (at least for me) to a better understanding of how to test and use the glow plug as a practical test tool. I did a second test on a different truck and was amazed at the results. All of my (6) diesels are the Isuzu...
I did a test in real time and conditions just to see what I might find out. First I tried to get a ohms reading, but found that the meter fluctuation to be a little to much to deal with. Later thoughts about the fluctuation is that it may have been caused by the rapid rise and decline of...
Hello list. I am in need of some opinions, information and advice. Basically, I am asking IF this will work and by no means saying that it will work. What I am thinking of trying is to find the approximate peak cylinder temperature in a IDI diesel using the glow plug as a sensor to take the...
