Abstract: Cette invention concerne une bougie de préchauffage (1) qui est montée dans la chambre de combustion d'un moteur diesel et qui possède une fonction de détecteur de courant ionique. Cette invention concerne également un isolateur (6) résistant à la chaleur, ainsi qu'une unité de chauffage qui est intégrée à cet isolateur et à laquelle on applique un courant par l'intermédiaire de deux câbles d'alimentation (11a, 11b) de manière à générer de la chaleur. Une électrode (14) de détection de courant ionique, qui est également intégrée dans l'isolateur, se trouve partiellement exposée à la flamme produite dans la chambre de combustion, et détecte l'état d'ionisation dans la flamme. Lorsqu'elle produit de la chaleur, l'unité de chauffage favorise l'allumage et la combustion du carburant dans la chambre de combustion (7). Une fois le courant ionique détecté, deux électrodes, l'une étant l'électrode de détection de courant ionique et l'autre la paroi interne de la chambre de combustion, capturent les ions positifs et négatifs se trouvant entre elles au moment de la combustion du carburant. Cette configuration permet de détecter un courant ionique avec une grande précision et à l'aide d'une structure simple, les informations obtenues étant ensuite utilisées pour la gestion du carburant. En outre, en conférant la fonction de détection de courant ionique à la bougie de préchauffage, il est possible d'obtenir un capteur de détection de courant ionique économique.

Abstract: The invention relates to a process and a device for controlling the flow dispersion of a molten metal, in particular steel, which is conveyed from a melt container via a first immersion outlet part which has a polygonal, oval or circular cross-section, and an intermediate member through the second immersion outlet part which has an elongate cross-section, and flows into a stationary mold to produce slabs. The process is characterized by the following steps: (a) the central volume flow is reduced in the intake region of the second outlet part; (b) at the same time the angle of expansion (delta) of the fluid jet is increased to such an extent that the return flow in the lateral region of the intermediate member and the second immersion outlet part is substantially stopped; and (c) when the melt leaves the second immersion outlet part, it flows at a velocity profile with velocity vectors which are smaller in the opening center than the regions of the small faces. The device is characterized in that the region of the central axis (I) of the immersion outlet, the intermediate member (31) and/or the intake (22) of the second immersion outlet part (21) is equipped in such a a manner that the main flow of melt (S) leaving the first immersion outlet part is throttled.
