Optical Engine Indication - ICOS

LaVision’s Internal Combustion Optical Sensors (ICOS) measure crank angle resolved air/fuel ratio, exhaust gas concentration, EGR-rate and gas temperature directly inside the cylinder. The optical sensor is integrated into a spark plug, a glow plug or positioned at any other in-cylinder location using M5-probes. Transmission probes are available for path integrated cross-cylinder measurements.

ICOS Applications
  • air/fuel ratio
  • CO2 concentration, EGR-rate
  • gas temperature
  • water concentration
  • gasoline, Diesel, CNG
  • combustion stability
  • consecutive cycles analysis
    for transient phenomena
System Advantages
  • compact, easy to handle
  • precise single cycle analysis
  • crank angle resolved data
  • ultra-fast response time
  • unmodified engines, real fuel
  • test bed synchronization
  • no gas sampling
  • wide choice of probe designs
