Synergy between Finite Element Analysis Temperature Engine Map Calculations and the Most Modern Pyrometric Measuring Technique Shown for Charge Change Valves

The development and the adaptation of the contact-less pyrometer technique for gas exchange valves at operating combustion engines has enabled a new standard of possibilities for the compensation of the calculation process which up to present had not been reached.

This presentation will capture the theoretical side of contact-less pyrometer measurements as well as the instrumentation of a certain engine. The results of the investigations and the influence on FEM-temperature field calculations are shown in examples.

This lecture will point out the miscellaneous options to benefit from this new temperature measurement method in the development process of small combustion engines.
