	*		*[[Cold Soak Test]]
			**A type of test wherein the device or component is essentially “frozen solid” such that ALL COMPONENTS reach the targeted cold temperature
			**Essentially approximates the worst possible [[Cold Start]] conditions, or storage/use in a place like Alaska or Space etc
			*[[Open Source Battery Pack]]
			**Integrating similar sensors into these may be nice as well

	*If an engine is indeed doing a [[Cold Start]] or if it is a “Warm EngineL / near warm could also be qualified and various [[ECU]] parameters adjusted accordingly		*If an engine is indeed doing a [[Cold Start]] or if it is a “Warm EngineL / near warm could also be qualified and various [[ECU]] parameters adjusted accordingly

			=Potential Forms of Doing This=
			==Conventional Route==
			*Separate Sensors in Different Spots/Componets
			*CAN work, but may introduce complexity in [[Cable Harness]] design, and [[Design for Maintenance]] / [[Design for Component Failure]]

			==“Meat Thermometer” / “ [[Dipstick]] “ ==
			*Essentially have something akin to a [[Meat Thermometer]] / [[Cooking Thermometer]] in function, but the size of an [[Oil Dipstick]] accesible for Maintenance in a similar manner (potentially even in a similar spot)
			*All that would be needed would be a cast void, or drilled hole

Created Page + Added Basic Sections/Info

New page

=Basics=
*This page aims to outline the reasons for, and a means of, measuring not only [[Coolant Temperature]] or [[Engine Block Temperature]] / [[Exhaust Gas Temperature]] etc, but the specific temperature at various depths of the Engine Block (Towards the Piston Cylinder Walls), or of various components at different depths or steps in the chain
*The main advantage is one could quantify the [[Thermal Soak]] (ie [[Coal Soak Test | Cold Soak]] or “Hot Soak” ) of an engine, and measure [[Heat Creep]] / [[Heat Soak]]
*If an engine is indeed doing a [[Cold Start]] or if it is a “Warm EngineL / near warm could also be qualified and various [[ECU]] parameters adjusted accordingly
**If an [[Engine Oil Heater]] / [[Engine Coolant Heater]] / [[Engine Block Heater]] were used as well etc, this would also be a benefit of this sensor system.
