Cylinder Pressure Transmitter Type 6613CA

Page 4 6613C_002-026e-02.16

2. Description

2.1 Introduction

The pressure transmitter Type 6613CA contains a piezo-

electric sensor and an integrated charge amplifier. The

pressure transmitter is made for continuous cylinder

pressure monitoring of large gas engines.

 Suitable for gas engines

 Extremely long life due life time optimized design.

 High reproducibility.

The sensor can be installed in the cylinder head, in the

indicator valve or underneath the indicator valve in a

additional adapter ring.

The integrated charge amplifier provides an uniform output

and can be connected directly to a data acquisition unit.

There are no individual sensitivity adjustments necessary,

since the output has uniform sensitivity. The sensor has a

voltage output of 0 ... 5 V with a zero line of 2 V (if

pressure is 0 bar). The output is ac – coupled, so static

pressure measurements are not possible.

2.3 Working Principle

The cylinder pressure is acting on the diaphragm. The

diaphragm converts the pressure in proportional force on

the sensor element. The piezoelectric sensor element

converts the force into a charge. The charge is converted

by a charge amplifier into a voltage.

The complete measuring chain is designed for easy

operation and very long life time.

The advantage piezoelectric principle is:

 Operates safe up to high temperatures and therefore

ideally suited for accurate measurements in harsh

conditions.

 Very small sensitivity change over temperature range.

 High stiffness, results in small diaphragm stress

 High reproducibility since the piezoelectric constant of

the measuring element is a constant of nature and

does not change over time.

The zero line output signal is about 2 V if there is no

pressure on the sensor. This allows a small drift of the zero

line of the transmitter output without cutting the signal

(Fig 4). These drift is the result of temperature fluctuation

caused by a quick load change of the engine. The ac –

coupling of the amplifier forces the zero line back to 2 V.

3. Installation

3.1 General

The quality of the measurement and the life time depends

very much of a correct mounting.

 The mounting hole must be manufactured within the

tolerances

 Avoid mounting at the end of long tubes, it creates

pipe ringing and overheating of the sensor

 Ideal is a mounting hole in the cylinder head with

about 20 mm distance from the combustion chamber

 Also acceptable is a mounting in or below the indicator

valve. Tube between indicator valve and cylinder head

must be as short as possible

 Sensor must be tightened according the mounting

torque

If there are any question regarding installation please

contact Kistler.

3.2 Recommended Mounting

Fig. 6: Mounting bore for Type 6613CA

Mounting torque is 15 N·m

3.2.1 Sealing

A leakproof mounting of the sensor is essential to prevent

overheating of the sensor by leaking hot gases. Good

sealing is obtained by

 fine-machined sealing face on the engine (for surface

roughness, flatness and squareness see fig 7).

 all sealing faces (on engine and on sensor) must be

clean and free of any burrs.

3.2.2 Installing the Sensor

Clean all parts and apply a light film of grease to the thread

and the sealing surface. Use high-temperature paste MoS2

(e.g. Molycote P74 or 1 000) or copper grease.

Insert sensor into mounting bore an torque with 15 N·m.

Use a torque wrench for sensor mounting. After Installing

the sensor, check if there is no leakage if engine runs on

idle speed.

Installation

6613C_002-026e-02.16 Page 9

3.2.3 Installing the Charge Amplifier

Charge amplifier can be fixed with cable strips in the cable

channel. Select a location where the temperature does

certainly not exceed 110 °C. Route and fix the integrated

cable between sensor and preamplifier so it is protected

against mechanical damage. Keep it away from any source

of heat such as the exhaust or hot fuel lines.

3.2.4 Cable between Charge Amplifier and Data Aquisition Unit

This cable can be made by the user. The connector M12x1

on the charge amplifier is very common in industrial

application. Use a shielded cable, otherwise the sensor is

not conform with CE rules. The following connecting

cables are available from Kistler.

Calibration

In order to calibrate the Type 6613CA with a static pressure the time constant needs to be changed from

short (5 s) to long . This is done by connecting pin 3 to a voltage of 3 … 32 V.

The time for calibration must not exceed 15 s . For any questions please contact Kistler.

3.2.6 Special Hints for Spark-Ignited Gas Engines

Gas engines have extremely strong EMC-fields, which can

affect the transmitter signals. Please make sure that

 resistance spark plugs are used, normally

 the charge amplifier and the cable of the sensor, is

kept at least 150 mm away from any ignition cable or

coil.

 the sensor cable and the ignition cable are not installed

in parallel if possible.

4. Operation

After starting up the engine check for any gas leakage at

once. If there is any gas leaking out, stop the engine and

rectify the mounting to achieve a complete sealing (see

chapter 4).

Warning: If the sensor is mounted in an indicator

valve: When the engine is operating do not open the

indicator valve for more than 10 seconds at a time as

otherwise the sensor may be overheated.

Maintenance

6613C_002-026e-02.16 Page 13

5. Maintenance

After installation, the transmitter needs no maintenance.

Do not use a steam or high-pressure cleaner for cleaning

purposes.

Calibration is recommended after one year of operation.

This can be done on the either with a dead weight tester,

or with the calibration equipment available from Kistler.

Please contact your Kistler representative for technical

consultation.

Never use wire brushes, screw drivers or any other sharp

pointed instrument for cleaning the diaphragm.
