Morgan Advanced Materials and Sentronics have been collaborating to develop a new fuel flow sensor that provides racing manufacturers with an accuracy of +/- 0.25%, an industry-leading innovation that helps increase control over fuel consumption .
The fuel flow sensor is designed to increase the energy efficiency of a car by measuring fuel flow (limiting total energy use), and is suitable for all types of cars, including motorhomes and rally cars, because it can accurately measure temperatures +/- 0C to 105C Within the range of 8,000ml per minute. The sensor weighs just 330 grams, far below the maximum weight of 500 grams allowed by the International Automobile Federation (FIA). The sensor provides excellent accuracy without adding unnecessary weight to the vehicle.
Fuel flow sensors are capable of operating at fluid pressures from 50kPa to 2500kPa and external pressure ratings of 300kPa, making them ideal for harsh vehicle applications. The company said that smart vehicle electronics can process volume flow values ??and calculate mass flow output.
Morgan's Charles Dowling said: "Sensor functionality in motorsport is critical because teams can be disqualified if they fail to balance performance and fuel consumption effectively. In this case, Morgan managed to Provides a high-sensitivity sensor that can be used in conjunction with Sentronics flow meters to create revolutionary new products. Morgan and Sentronics worked together to complete the project in just a few months, demonstrating the satisfaction of the racing industry The responsiveness necessary for demanding applications. Sentronics has optimized the electronics around the sensor to create the most accurate readings to date-twice the sensitivity of some mass flow meters at a much lower cost. This breakthrough The technology is very exciting and could have a significant impact on everyday automotive work today. "
The company says the sensor is made from highly engineered materials including anodized aluminum and stainless steel to form a compact and lightweight Parts, no moving parts, the sensor is compatible with all fuel types.
