A&D’s Phoenix combustion analysis systems uses in-cylinder piezoelectric transducers to measure the pressures throughout the entire engine cycle. Cylinder pressure measurements are then analyzed simultaneously with data acquisition providing analysis results for display and logging while the engine is operating. Instantaneous availability of combustion results facilitates the implementation of automated calibration and optimization.

A&D’s Phoenix system includes other features such as crank position sensor signal interpolation, self powered charge amplifiers and 12 volt DC operation which makes it ideal for in vehicle applications. The availability of immediate results can be used to properly set start-up fuel and ignition timing, calibrate knock detection, and validate misfire indication.

A&D’s Phoenix combustion analysis system includes all the software to perform standard tests required to properly evaluate combustion processes in two or four stroke, spark or compression ignited engines.
