Cylinder pressure analysis
E²PRECON
Using well-proven digital signal processing algorithms E²PRECON computes combustion characteristics for each cylinder and every combustion cycle. These are the key parameters engine builders need to implement advanced combustion control, monitoring and diagnosis.
Incorporating thermodynamic models, E²PRECON calculates net heat release and pattern of heat release rate (HRR). From this, the important combustion parameters start (SoC), duration (DoC) and center of combustion (CoC) are computed. Indicated mean effective pressures (IMEP), peak pressures and knock levels are also provided.
With the E²PRECON series we have been pioneering in the area of cylinder pressure-based engine control since 2006. E²PRECON offers comprehensive real-time cylinder pressure analysis in a compact size and supports a wide range of cylinder pressure sensors from various manufacturers.

E²PRECON series at a glance
With the E²PRECON-c control components, the most compact modules for a cylinder pressure-based combustion control of up to 20 cylinders, with a multitude of additional functions, are available for use in stationary gas engines.
The marine version E²PRECON-M was specially developed by us for on engine operation. Likewise the use in harsh environments is certainly possible. The M series is already prepared for marine certifications according to ABS, BV, DNV GL and LR.
