ZrO2 EGO SENSOR

• Under certain conditions, the fuel control using an EGO sensor will
be operated in open-loop mode and for other conditions it will be
operated in closed-loop.
• The EGO sensor should not be used for control at temperatures
below about 300°C because the difference between rich and lean
voltages decreases rapidly with temperature in this region.
• This important property of the sensor is partly responsible for the
requirement to operate the fuel control system in the open-loop
mode at low exhaust temperature.
• Closed-loop operation with the EGO output voltage used as the error
input cannot begin until the EGO sensor temperature exceeds about
300°C.

are chosen such that voltage va and vb are
equal (i.e., the bridge is said to be balanced).
• As air flows across the hot film, heat is
carried away from the film by the moving
air.
• The amount of heat carried away varies in
proportion to the mass flow rate of the air.
• The heat lost by the film to the air tends to
cause the resistance of the film to vary,
which unbalances the bridge circuit, thereby

• when one of the tabs of the steel disk is located between the pole pieces of
the magnet, a large part of the gap between the pole pieces is filled by the
steel.
• Since the steel has a lower reluctance than air, the “flow” of magnetic flux
increases to a relatively large value.
• On the other hand, when a tab is not between the magnet pole pieces, the
gap is filled by air only. This creates a high-reluctance circuit for which the
magnetic flux is relatively small.
• The change in magnetic flux induces a voltage, Vo, in the sensing coil that
is proportional to the rate of change of the magnetic flux.
• It should be noted that if the disk is mounted on the crankshaft, then the
number of tabs for this crankshaft position sensor always will be half the
number of cylinders because it takes two crankshaft rotations for a
complete engine cycle.

• It was shown in the discussion of the reluctance crankshaft position sensor that the
magnetic flux density for this configuration depends on the position of the tab.
• Recall that the magnetic flux is largest when one of the tabs is positioned
symmetrically between the magnet pole pieces and that this position normally
corresponds closely to TDC of one of the cylinders.
• The voltage waveform Vo that is produced by the Hall element in the position
sensor .Since Vo is proportional to the magnetic flux density, it reaches maximum
when any of the tabs is symmetrically located between the magnet pole pieces
(corresponding to TDC of a cylinder).
• If the disk is driven by the camshaft, then the disk must have as many tabs as the
engine has cylinders. Therefore, the disk shown would be for a 4-cylinder engine. It
is important to realize that voltage output versus crankshaft angle is independent of
engine speed.
• Thus, this sensor can be used for setting the engine timing when the engine is not
running

SOLENOID VALVE
• A solenoid valve has two main parts: the solenoid and the valve.
• The solenoid converts electrical energy into mechanical energy which, in
turn, opens or closes the valve mechanically.
• A direct acting valve has only a small flow circuit, shown within section E
of this diagram (this section is mentioned below as a pilot valve).
• In this example, a diaphragm piloted valve multiplies this small pilot flow,
by using it to control the flow through a much larger orifice.
• Solenoid valves may use metal seals or rubber seals, and may also have
electrical interfaces to allow for easy control.
• A spring may be used to hold the valve opened (normally open) or closed
(normally closed) while the valve is not activated

STEPPER MOTOR

FUNDAMENTALS OF OPERATION
• The stepper motor is known by its property to convert a train of input pulses (typically square
wave pulses) into a precisely defined increment in the shaft position.
• Each pulse moves the shaft through a fixed angle.
• Stepper motors effectively have multiple "toothed" electromagnets arranged around a central
gear-shaped piece of iron.
• The electromagnets are energized by an external driver circuit or a microcontroller.
• To make the motor shaft turn, first, one electromagnet is given power, which magnetically
attracts the gear's teeth.
• When the gear's teeth are aligned to the first electromagnet, they are slightly offset from the
next electromagnet.
• This means that when the next electromagnet is turned on and the first is turned off, the gear
rotates slightly to align with the next one
• . From there the process is repeated. Each of those rotations is called a "step", with an integer
number of steps making a full rotation. In that way, the motor can be turned by a precise angle
