Sensata Introduces New Gasoline Direct Injection Sensor

25 September 2007

Sensata Technologies, formerly the Sensors & Controls business of Texas Instruments, has introduced a new gasoline direct injection sensor which, when used with multi-port fuel injection systems, can improve fuel economy 4% to 8%, according to the company.

This sensor employs advanced monocrystalline silicon MEMS strain gage technology (MSG) to create an efficient air/fuel mixture over a range of fuels, and across a wide temperature range. This advanced sensor design is suited for fuel delivery systems operating at 300 bar and higher.

Multi-port fuel injection systems are becoming the norm in global automotive markets. Our GDI sensor is delivering a new level of precision sensing for this market that will continue to support the fuel economy and performance goals of our customers.

—Kari Caesar, marketing manager for Sensata’s Fuel Systems Group

A little late to the party?

How is this different from the other GDI products from Bosch, Delphi, etc. already on the market?
