combustion event is often very fast. Additionally, as a consequence of knocking<br />

combustion, there is usually a range of high frequencies present in the combustion<br />

chamber. It is therefore required that the sampling frequency is at least twice the highest<br />

frequency present in the chamber to avoid aliasing and erroneous measurements. When<br />

sampling 10 times per CAD, the sampling frequency becomes 72 kHz at 1200 rpm and<br />

the highest frequency that may be detected is therefore 36 kHz. This should be sufficient<br />

since the resonance frequencies are usually not higher than 15-20 kHz.<br />

It is necessary to correct the signal for zero level deviation, which can only be done by<br />

estimating the cylinder pressure. This is a source of some error in the heat release<br />

analysis, where pressure is relatively low in a large part of the cycle. A deviation of +/-<br />

0.1 bar is however insignificant at higher pressures where the heat release is to be<br />

calculated, and the IMEP calculation is not affected at all since the error is the same<br />

during compression and expansion.
