Low pressure measurement at the filter silencer

5.4.1 Introduction
The low pressure measurement with a U-tube manometer is used for the following pur-
poses:
¡
During acceptance test of the engine: Measurement of the correction factor for the cal-
culation of the turbocharger efficiency
¡
When using a filter mat: An increased pressure loss indicates an increase in the fouling of
the filter material.

Reading of pressure loss
For simple reading of the pressure loss (A), the dipstick at the U-tube manometer can be
pulled out to the level of the lower water level. Better readability of the U-tube manometer
can be achieved by filling with slightly coloured water.
Colour the water with food colouring or ink.
