Diamond Temperature Sensor Has Been Applied in Automobile Industry

As is known to all, temperature sensor has a very wide range of applications, however, what will happen if its assembly is applied in the auto industry? 

Generally speaking, spontaneous bus combustion occurs occasionally during the hot summer, which at the same time makes the prevention of such events from happening again especially important. In order to nip in the bud,  Taiyuan, the capital city of Shanxi province, has installed the temperature sensor for partial buses to ensure the safety of bus driving.

In most bus accidents, spontaneous combustion are closely connected with long operation life and the aging of internal wirings. High temperature of the engine compartment in the operation will lead to a fire accident especially for those rear engine vehicles or in operation for a long time. It is not convenient for the drivers of rear engine vehicles to find such problems as the engine temperature too high, so the installation of temperature sensor seems to be very necessary.

when the engine temperature reaches the threshold value, the temperature sensor installed on the bus will automatically alarms, which can effectively protect the engine from all kinds of potential safety hazard, so as to ensure the safety of traffic and also passengers.

Because of the importance of the sensor in the electric control system, to some extend, the competition among various advanced cars depend heavily on their sensors, no wonder that countries around the world attach much attention on its theoretical research and application of new materials.

Famous for its good heat resistance and high thermal stability, diamond’s surface won’t become carbonized until temperature exceeds 1200 ℃ in a vacuum and 600 ℃ in the atmosphere, because of which it is suitable for producing high temperature thermal sensors.  

Besides, diamond under high temperature deforms easily, which makes it suitable for producing vibration or acceleration sensor used in such circumstance. Its combination with other materials can be used as pressure sensor, with whose high sensitivity and resistance to high temperature and corrosion make it suitable for vibration testing, engine and cylinder pressure measurement.
