Hamburg-based spare parts manufacturer MEYLE has made new additions to its range of MEYLE‑ORIGINAL exhaust temperature sensors. The full range of HTS applications now features more than 150 products designed to fit virtually any vehicle make.

Exhaust temperature sensors are subject to extreme strain levels, with operating temperatures ranging between -40°C and +1,200°C. Delivering reliable and precise measurement results is an absolute must in order to enhance the combustion process and keep emissions low. Correct temperature measurements are vital for long turbocharger and catalytic converter life and effective particle filter regeneration.

MEYLE also point out that with vehicle electronics becoming increasingly complex, a failure of even smallest electronic component, such as a sensor, can cause the vehicle to fail its NCT. Reliability of the exhaust temperature sensor is therefore vital. The sensors measure exhaust gas temperatures and feed the results to the engine timing unit. Failure of the sensors to provide correct readings generally result in increased emissions. Excessive temperatures may also damage turbo charged engines and catalytic converters. Precise temperature settings in the entire drive train are also essential for active regeneration of the particle filters.

Based on customer feedback MEYLE engineers have designed the new range of sensors to OE specifications. Thanks to the large number of intake openings, the MEYLE‑ORIGINAL exhaust temperature sensors (HTS) ensure precise temperature readings and swift data processing. The high-temperature sensor has an operating range between -40°C and +1,200°C. The generously dimensioned heat protection hose with interior coating ensures maximum insulation and protection against thermal and mechanical overload. This means optimised temperature control leading to reduced pollutant emission and improved fuel efficiency.
