An apparatus includes a sensor module, an offset diagnostic module, and a notification module. The sensor module is in operative communication with a cylinder pressure sensor and structured to acquire cylinder pressure data from the cylinder pressure sensor indicative of an actual in-cylinder pressure of a cylinder of an engine. The offset diagnostic module is structured to interpret the cylinder pressure data to determine an offset of the cylinder pressure sensor based on a reference in-cylinder pressure and the actual in-cylinder pressure. The notification module is structured to provide an offset error notification responsive to the offset being greater than a threshold offset.

Provided is a pressure sensor that uses a sensor chip as a pressure measurement element and can suppress condensation around the sensor chip of water vapor permeating a protective member from a gas to be measured. The pressure sensor includes a pressure measurement chamber into which a gas to be measured is introduced; a sensor chip that faces the pressure measurement chamber; a sensor support that has a support surface supporting the sensor chip; and a protective member that covers the sensor chip. The pressure sensor also includes a heat insulation chamber that faces a back surface opposite to the support surface of the sensor support; and a gas passage that communicates the heat insulation chamber and the pressure measurement chamber.

An aftertreatment system comprises a housing defining an internal volume. A filter is disposed in the housing and configured to remove particulate matter included in the exhaust gas. A delta pressure sensor configured to measure an inlet apparent pressure value upstream of the filter. An ambient pressure sensor separate from the delta pressure sensor is configured to measure an ambient pressure value of an ambient environment in which the aftertreatment system is located. A controller is configured to receive the inlet apparent pressure value, receive the ambient pressure value from the ambient pressure sensor, determine a relative inlet exhaust pressure value based upon the inlet apparent pressure value and the ambient pressure value, and adjust an exhaust flow rate of the exhaust gas based at least on the relative inlet exhaust pressure value.

Diagnostic systems and methods for a surge valve that selectively bypasses a compressor of a turbocharger of an engine involve receiving, by a controller, a barometric pressure signal indicative of a barometric pressure external to the engine, receiving, by the controller, a throttle inlet pressure (TIP) signal indicative of an air pressure at an inlet of a throttle valve of the engine and downstream from the surge valve and the compressor, and performing, by the controller, a diagnostic technique on the surge valve, the diagnostic technique comprising generating a pressure ratio signal that is a ratio of the TIP signal to the barometric pressure signal, applying a high-pass filter to the pressure ratio signal to obtain a filtered pressure ratio signal, and based on a quantity of detected pulses in the filtered pressure ratio signal that exceed the diagnostic threshold, detecting a malfunction of the surge valve.

A pressure measurement tool secured to a rod arranged across a duct of an engine of an aircraft. A sheath includes two walls which bound a space receiving the rod, the space communicating with the outside by an opening extending over the length of the sheath, the sheath having a bay extending over the length of the sheath and cavities distributed over the sheath. For each cavity, an air inlet including a passage opens at one end into the cavity another end into the duct. A printed circuit board runs along the bay. For each passage, a pressure sensor in the corresponding cavity faces the passage and is on the printed circuit board. A unit is provided for processing and/or recording the data transmitted by the pressure sensors. It is thus easy to install and makes it possible to take a large number of measurements in the secondary duct.

A pressure measuring device/system that is capable of measuring the pressures of multiple systems in an automobile, including cylinder pressure, fuel pressure, transmission oil pressure, and engine oil pressure, and is capable of displaying and/or recording the measured pressure values remote from the device taking the measured remote pressures. The pressure measuring system has a remote interface and a sensor configured to communicate wirelessly with each other. The interface may be configured to be included within the device purpose built for displaying and interacting with the pressure values measured by the sensor. Additionally or alternatively, the interface may be configured to be downloaded as a mobile application app on a smartphone or other similar device.
