Worn-out or contaminated sensors can cause engines to run too rich, burning additional fuel and sending excess harmful emissions into the atmosphere. Replacing worn-out sensors with new Delphi planar sensors delivers increased efficiency with the industry’s fastest light-off time (LOT), putting the engine under fuel control operation quicker. By replacing the sensors, this then can help reduce harmful cold-start emissions by 40 to 50 percent, as well as improve fuel economy.
Delphi confidently stands behind its claims, having tested the reliability of its sensors by putting them through thousands of hours of more than 30 OE-demanded tests – including two dozen durability tests – to ensure they will last even under the toughest conditions. They passed. It’s this kind of testing that helps ensure that Delphi sensors can endure for the long haul.
The ability to deliver such quality, reliability and durability stems in part from Delphi’s decades of experience as an OE supplier of gas engine management systems. Since 1978, Delphi has manufactured more than 200 million oxygen sensors. Today, one out of every eight vehicles built globally carries a Delphi oxygen sensor. And unlike many other suppliers, all of Delphi’s oxygen sensors meet the high OE manufacturing quality standards.
Beyond their proven high-quality performance, Delphi’s planar oxygen sensors feature a patented protective sensor coating that leads the industry in contamination resistance to silicone, phosphorous and other fuel/oil additives such as E85.
Also, a unique multi-layer construction, made of zirconia and alumina, makes Delphi’s sensor elements ready and able to withstand thermal shocks and engine vibrations. In addition, Delphi’s proprietary “dry to touch” anti-seize compound aids in faster, no mess installations.
More than 70 percent of the vehicles on the road today can be upgraded to planar sensor technology. And, considering the fact that more than 3 percent of all vehicles require a replacement oxygen sensor annually, perhaps it’s time you provide your customer with one of the most durable sensors in the aftermarket. It’s a great line – with great features – so the opportunity is yours for the taking.
