4 ARIADNE Advantages
As part of a gas engine management system, ARIADNE brings advantages in term of protec-
tion, performances and costs, mainly:
ARIADNE protects gas engines against damages caused by knocking combustion.
With ARIADNE on board, engines can safely be run close to the knock limit which means
high efficiency and low emissions.
ARIADNE makes the use of fluctuating fuel gas quality possible.
Less electronics on-engine: a single ARIADNE unit can monitor up to 20 knock sensors
i.e. a whole engine in most cases.
ARIADNE monitors each cylinder, cycle by cycle, individually, making a fine single cyl-
inder tuning possible, thus improving both performances and emissions.
Low cost application possible: ARIADNE can monitor several cylinders using a single
sensor.
ARIADNE is full compatible to other HEINZMANN systems and HEINZMANN ad-
vanced user interface DcDesk 2000.
ARIADNE is available in 2 designs (IP00 and IP55) and can be mounted off- or on-
engine.
With its integrated diagnostic display, ARIADNE facilitates quick servicing.
From stand-alone unit to highly integrated part of engine management, the large range of
I/O provided makes ARIADNE suitable for all applications.
