For small Diesels&#8212;30 to 60 HP, wet exhaust&#8212;what kind, brand and range of temperature, sensor and display do you recommend? At what temperature should the alarm sound? Should I fit it closest to the exhaust manifold or closest to the muffler? Thanks for your constant support, Igor <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<div class=\"answer\">\n<p class=\"Body\">Hi Igor: The location of the pyrometer is something that must be carefully matched to the engine manufacturer&#8217;s standards&#8212;but usually somewhere at the end of the exhaust system, while the exhaust is still dry. <\/p>\n<p class=\"Body\">You need to get the specific heat-work corellation data from the engine mfg. <\/p>\n<p class=\"Body\">As to pyrometer suppliers, we use a Hewitt. But any industrial supply company, or diesel engine supplier will have something on the shelf. (Also check out Murphy pyrometers.) <\/p>\n<p class=\"Body\">Temperature range is usually up to about 650\/700C.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Body\"> Once again, the precise location is critical to getting results that will correlate with factory data.
