Restriction gauge
Restriction gauge
(OP)
Guys
I have what I think is a fairly silly question about a restriction guage on an industrial diesel engine.
In the system we use, we have an outer and inner filter assembly leading to a turbocharger. In between there is a restriction indicator which sends a signal back to the engine when the filters are blocked (pressure difference between ambient and inside air intake is great enough)
I think the system works by sensing the deflection of a diaphragm.
Is this correct?
Are there any inherent problems with this system?

A robust example is the Dwyer Magnehelic line of pressure gages/ indicators/ transducers.

They are usually looking for maximum vacuum attained.
