👉 SOX (Streamlined Oxygen Sensor) engineering refers to the design and implementation of sensors that measure oxygen levels in a vehicle's exhaust system, crucial for optimizing the air-fuel mixture and improving fuel efficiency and reducing emissions. These sensors, typically based on metal oxide semiconductors (MOS), operate by detecting changes in electrical resistance as oxygen concentration varies. When integrated into the engine management system, SOX sensors provide real-time data that allows the engine control unit (ECU) to adjust fuel injection timing and quantity, ensuring efficient combustion. This process not only enhances performance but also minimizes harmful emissions, making SOX technology a key component in modern automotive engineering aimed at environmental sustainability.
