Gas-sampling Valve Illustration

Caption

This illustration shows a gas-sampling valve (top half of picture, blue) in a low-emission diesel test engine at the Technische Universitaet Muenchen. The valve (blue, with spring) shoots into the combustion chamber and takes a sample of the exhaust gases (brown) within a fraction of a second.
