Differential Transducer for Vehicle Diagnostics.

Abstract

The STE/ICE program of TACOM required that continuous analog monitoring of pressure loss across automotive fluid components be performed. The Diagnostic Connector Assembly (DCA) maintenance application, avoiding failures, rework and replacement efforts. A research and development effort was therefore undertaken to produce a Continuous Analog Differential Pressure Transducer (CAPDT) to support the DCA program. The transducer would be suitable for measurement of losses in air filters, hydraulic filters, fluid lines and similar flow components. Fluid component status can be monitored on an on-going basis and conformance within operating limits verified, prior to breakdown and mandatory corrective maintenance.
