How EGT Probes Monitor Exhaust Temperature
As explained by Fuel Fusion in “EGT probe,” an Exhaust Gas Temperature sensor measures the temperature of gases leaving an engine, providing information about conditions associated with combustion. Unusually high exhaust temperatures can indicate operating problems that may require attention.
An EGT probe typically uses two dissimilar metal wires that generate a measurable thermoelectric voltage as temperature changes, an effect known as the Seebeck effect. Because these sensors operate in demanding environments, characteristics such as measurement accuracy and resistance to vibration, corrosion, and extreme temperatures are important considerations.
