ABSTRACT:
In an integrated glow plug and pressure sensor having a passage leading to the pressure sensor, a porous filter is inserted in the passage. The porous filter provides a four-fold improvement in pressure measurement by (1) acting as a trap for combustion deposits, (2) burning combustion deposits when the glow plug heater is on, (3) acting as a heat shield for reducing thermal shock error of the pressure sensor, and (4) damping acoustic high frequency ringing associated with the pressure passage.
