Abstract
Abstract
In the process of combustion, the air-fuel ratio is important for control strategies to reduce fuel economy and improve engine performance. Oxygen sensors are key elements in electronic fuel injection systems to indicate the oxygen content and send electrical signals to the electronic control unit. Starting with the first generation of oxygen sensors, which had limited applications, all automotive manufacturers now use wideband sensors to detect oxygen concentration with rapid reaction and linear output characteristics. Also, these new sensors provide accurate information for a wide range of air coefficients (λ = 0.65-2.4), improving combustion efficiency. In this paper, several types of narrowband and wideband sensors were analyzed, measuring the activation temperature for each sensor until a reliable signal was obtained.
