The solution is based on laser-induced grating spectroscopy, a novel optical technique based on resonant four-waving mixing for non-intrusive measurements of gas temperatures (reference1, 2). Compared with other optical temperature measurement techniques, it is relatively simple, but still able to accurately measure temperature in a wide range.
Transmitter probe of LGS temperature
LGS temperature can be used to characterize all heat exchange processes. Particularly, it has been proven to be an ideal tool to characterize the cooling effect induced by fuel injection for direct fuel injection internal combustion engines.
