Energy technology

In today's world, the efficiency of large engines and combined heat and power (CHP) plants is a decisive factor for economical and environmentally friendly operation. One of the greatest challenges from a measurement technology perspective is to detect knocking events selectively in each cylinder and to precisely control the ignition timing in real time for each working cycle. CANWAY has established itself as an innovative partner that develops customized control units for leading energy technology companies. These solutions not only offer optimized efficiency, but also increased reliability and service life for the systems.

Ignition control and monitoring: efficiency and safety

Precise ignition control is crucial for the efficient and reliable operation of large engines and CHP units. The control units enable intelligent and reliable ignition control. They dynamically adjust the ignition timing to the current operating conditions, which increases the efficiency of the entire system.

Knock detection: A critical aspect of engine control

Knocking is an undesirable phenomenon that occurs in combustion engines and can lead to damage and efficiency losses. Precise knock detection is essential in order to respond to these problems at an early stage by optimizing operating parameters in real time. CANWAY develops advanced control units on behalf of its customers, which are based on highly sensitive sensor technology and identify knocking events in real time.

Advantages of the control units
