Gentech helps Boost Power Output and Efficiency on Turbo Engine Applications

Gentech sensors are being used to help bring more power and economy to turbo charged engine applications by bringing Gentech reliability to water/methanol injection systems. In some high demand performance applications water/methanol injection is used on turbo charged engines to reduce air intake temperatures and increase turbo boost pressure resulting in more power and efficiency.

High Pressure Cleaner tank level measurement

A manufacturer of High pressure cleaners had a requirement to monitor the level in the tank, which is used for the cleaning process. High pressure cleaners require that a level of water is always available. This water supplies the main pressure coil which heats the water. This water is then pressurised through the machine to the outlet hose and spray nozzles which then operate the cleaning process. If the water drops below a certain level the pressure valves in the system will be damaged.

Gentech Custom Solution keeps super car cool

One of the world’s oldest super car marques required a sensor for its engine coolant expansion tank. Coolant level is critical in high performance engines where overheating, through low coolant levels, can cause very costly damage. The sensor system was required to alert the driver when levels were low and in addition it was required to be aesthetically and mechanically in line with the rest of the vehicles high levels of automotive engineering.

Gentech Sensors verify minimum oil level for safe engine start-up

The client , a construction and agricultural equipment manufacturer, wished to remove the risk of diesel engines being started with low oil levels. Typically the task of checking levels is carried out manually and is often neglected or forgotten. Ensuring minimum oil levels are safe prevents costly equipment failure and downtime. A sensor, positioned in a confined space in the engine, was required to interface with the engine management system to prevent start up when unsafe.

Grass cutter gets detected

Starting grass cutting tractors with the cutter positioned down can cause damage to the engine and the ground – alowing start up only when the blade is up is prevents damage. The client wanted a reliable sensor to replace the contact switch type he had been using. Contamination and vibration caused poor reliability. A high concentration of metal in the detection area made standard non-contact sensors difficult to source.
