Function of boost pressure control
The boost pressure control on turbochargers in diesel engines controls the amount of air entering the engine. Influenced by engine speed, intercooler, turbocharger size and intake system design, it uses boost pressure sensors, engine control unit and often a VTG turbocharger. It continuously sets the appropriate boost pressure, with the engine control unit controlling or regulating boost pressure as needed.
When using a VTG turbocharger, rotatable guide vanes are installed around the turbine wheel to modify the driving force of the exhaust gas. An electric boost pressure regulator, permanently mounted on the turbocharger, actuates these vanes to achieve the desired boost pressure.
