The thesis describes the development of a calibration device for a pressure sensor integrated in a glow plug for diesel engine cold start (PSG).
The work involves analyzing the signal from a charge generated on a piezo element that is converted to an output voltage signal proportional to the pressure in the cylinder of a motor using an integrated circuit with a microprocessor and a compensation algorithm.
The problems of the sensors working environment are presented, which significantly impedes the achievement of the required accuracy, while at the same time it is necessary to provide large quantities of products, which allows only very short production times.
To achieve proper accuracy, a detailed knowledge of the response of the sensor to pressure, temperature, vibration and other factors is required. For this purpose, we proceeded from tests on the engine, so that the signal from PSG was compared with the reference pressure sensor.
