The oil Pressure and Temperature sensor OPS+T is used to measure the absolute oil Pressure and the oil Temperature directly in the main oil channel behind the oil filter. It uses the Pressure value to carry out demand-responsive control of mechanical or electrical oil pumps. This lowers the CO2 emissions and reduces fuel Consumption. Recording of the Temperature serves as input data for the thermal management of the engine. Both signals are evaluated in the higher-level control unit. The use of the multi-chip module means the sensor can be utilised in harsh environments.
