PiTeM
PiTeM is an innovative, wireless, and self-powered industrial sensor solution that provides continuous insights into the piston cooling system without any dismantling.
Installed without removing any engine parts. Measures the temperature of oil discharged from the piston to deliver real-time data on cooling efficiency.
Requires no external power or batteries. Completely self-powered by harvesting ambient thermal energy from the operating engine environment.
Detects piston crown overheating, small-end bearing issues, piston ring sticking, and excessive combustion temperatures in advance.
Transmits all data seamlessly and autonomously via Wi-Fi or BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy).
INVISIBLE THREAT
Overheating at the piston crown and cooling disruptions are major causes of catastrophic engine failures. Traditional methods only detect these after engine teardown or severe failure.
Why Piston Cooling Oil Is Critical
The temperature of the oil discharged from the piston directly reflects the heat transfer efficiency of the piston crown and cooling channels. Oil temperature anomalies are the earliest indicators of cooling system faults.
Real-Time Tracking Without Disassembly
PiTeM provides continuous and reliable information on the piston cooling system without dismantling the engine, making early-stage faults immediately visible.
Early Detection of Critical Faults
Real-time data from PiTeM helps detect 4 core critical issues: 1) Piston crown overheating, 2) Small-end bearing (gudgeon pin bearing) issues, 3) Piston ring sticking, and 4) Excessive combustion temperatures.
No Disassembly, Wireless & Self-Powered
PiTeM generates its own electricity by harvesting ambient thermal energy. Data is sent wirelessly via Wi-Fi or BLE, requiring zero maintenance and zero engine teardown.
From Scheduled to Smart Data-Driven Maintenance
Track trend changes in discharged oil temperature to optimize maintenance intervals based on actual engine condition. Ensure autonomous protection against severe engine damage.
No more guesswork. See piston cooling efficiency in real time with PiTeM and resolve anomalies before damage occurs.
