Air Temperature Sensor

About air temperature sensors campbell scientific offers a variety of sensors for measuring air temperature.

Air temperature sensor.

The sensor works with the system s fans to maintain an optimal running temperature. The intake air temperature sensor or iat sensor has the core function of monitoring the temperature of the air that is entering the engine of your vehicle. By doing this the system is able to reduce stress on heat sensitive components. Cleaning these can help though solvents should not be used.

This information is very useful for the engine control unit or ecu for many functions and calculations such as calculating the air density for effective ignition timing and fuel efficiency. Bosch air temperature sensors measure the temperature of incoming air to the engine provide this information to the ecu and then determine the amount of fuel needed. It measures the temperature of the incoming air to help the computer to adjust the air fuel mix. This is the intake air temperature sensor that is post air filter pre throttle body.

The air temperature sensor that dell began installing on systems in august of 2006 is designed to monitor the temperature of the air in the room where the system is being used. The air charge temperature sensor sends data to the computer which allows it to make continuous adjustments to the engine s air fuel mixture for maximum fuel efficiency. Over time these can become dirty and less effective or damaged.
