ABSTRACT:
FIG.2shows a cross-section through a piston10and cylinder wall12of an internal combustion engine. A piston ring14is located within a ring groove16and the piston10.The piston ring14is part of an oil film thickness measurement section18,the other parts of which comprise a displacement transducer20and an electrical signal conditioning unit22.The oil supply control system also includes a control system section24,which comprises an on line calibration section26,an oil injection system28and a controller30.Also, a user interface38and a secondary signal conditioning unit40receiving secondary signal measurements from unit42or several units42are included.
