Performance and Protection, these words have been the heart of the design for ARIADNE, HEINZMANN’s Knock Control System (↑ Figure 1). With ARIADNE on board, HEINZ- MANN will give you the thread to guide you in your quest for improved engine performances and avoid the threat of knock.
After 80 years of research, it is clear that the question today is not how to basically suppress knocking combustion as such, which is illusory, but how to best deal with this remaining threat in the future engine developments, making a reliable knock control system a major key for increased engine performances.

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.
CAN-bus. Figure 4: Typical Knock Sensor, Bosch-Type ARIADNE makes use of dedicated Digital Signal Processors to suppress all kind of knock sensor signal corruptions, for instance due to vibrations caused in normal operation by the different gas engine components. Configurable knock measuring windows, digital ampli- fiers, band-pass filters and integrators are provided ensuring that the knock level calculat- ed by ARIADNE fairly reflects the real knock intensity inside the cylinder.

IP55 version for direct on-engine mounting (sensor connection over plug-in connect- ors). ARIADNE has been developed to fit in all possible gas engine control designs, from a stand-alone unit to a fully integrated part of the gas engine management system, thus fea- tured with a large range of I/O possibilities.
Rated load from 100 … 8000 kW Number of cylinders from 4 … 20 ARIADNE has been designed to suit all gas engine control system applications. In order to give an idea of the range of possible applications, 2 usual configurations are described in the following in some more details.
6 Application 6.1 Stand-alone Knock Control Unit When used as stand-alone unit, ARIADNE’s analog output can directly be wired to the ig- nition system, transmitting the knock severity measured on the engine (maximum of all cylinders knock levels). This 4-20mA or 0-5V signal acts as offset on the engine nominal spark angle.
6 Application 6.2 Fully integrated Knock Control Unit ARIADNE can also be configured as part of a highly integrated gas engine management. This can be particularly useful to fine tune every cylinder individually when combustion and load can be controlled on each cylinder separately. In this case ARIADNE communi- cates and receives all needed information over CAN-bus (cylinder knock levels, load measurement).

Figure 10: Mounting Instructions Installation position of the sensor: ARIADNE is flexible knock detection which is developed for every gas and dual fuel engine. The quality of the detection depends mainly on the position of the knock sensors and the sound characteristic of the engine.
