Low pressure measurement at the filter silencer

4.3.1 Introduction
The low pressure measurement with a U-tube manometer is used for the following purposes:
 During acceptance test of the engine: Measurement of the correction factor for the calcula-
tion of the turbocharger efficiency
 When using a filter mat: An increased pressure loss indicates an increase in the fouling of
the filter material.

If the turbocharger is operated at maximum engine power and pressure loss (A) reaches the
value of 200 mm H O:

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