Kistler launches continuous monitoring sensor

Switzerland-based Kistler Group, which specialises in measurement technology, has launched its new cylinder pressure sensor 6635A1 to continuously monitor large marine and stationary engines.

The sensor is designed to be especially resilient to extreme conditions in the combustion chamber such as vibrations, shocks, high temperatures and pressure.

The sensor is used in four-stroke gas, dual-fuel and diesel engines in shipping and power stations and can monitor all cylinders simultaneously.
