Using DS18B20 as an Air Intake Temperature sensor
Posted: Mon Jan 25, 2021 1:01 pm
As I am already using my other Computer inputs for other sensors, I was wondering if it is possible to use the DS18B20 sensors for Air intake temperature measurements.Their temperature range and accuracy are good enough but do they act fast enough to rapid changes in temperature which occur in Forced Induction Intake manifolds ?. I am already using an IAT sensor in the inlet plenum for actual measurements required for the engines ECU,which I am also using on one of the Adx inputs, but I want to use this input now for a Fuel Pressure transducer (0-5v) instead.
So I want to use my two remaining digital sensor inputs (C and D) for two air temperature sensors before (at the supercharger outlet) and after the intercooler (In the plenum). But they need to be quick enough acting for this purpose.
I will cement them into a cage type sensor housing similar to other IAT sensors, where the body of the sensor is fully exposed to the air.
Thanks
