Understanding the Boost Pressure System Monitor

Boost Pressure System Monitor: Detecting Faults and Improving Efficiency A boost pressure system (turbocharger) is used on diesel engines to increase the pressure produced inside the intake manifold to a level greater than atmospheric pressure. The pressure increase helps to ensure compete combustion of the air-fuel mixture. Boost pressure along with more fuel produces more power One way to get more power is to build a larger diesel. But that adds weight. So engineers instead use a turbocharger to push more air into the engine. The pressurized air being pumped … Read More
