MBE4000 APPLICATION AND INSTALLATION
Charge Air Cooler System Restriction
The maximum pressure differential of the charge air cooler system results from the charge air
cooler and all of the piping and connections between the turbocharger compressor outlet and
the intake manifold.
See Figure 4-11 for the pressure tap locations, a location description is listed in Table 4-5.

Location Description
P
1
Air inlet restriction
Within 5 in. of the turbocharger, in a straight section
after the last bend
P
2
Compressor discharge pressure
Within 5 in. of the turbocharger, in a straight section
before the
fi
rst bend
P
3
Intake manifold pressure
Within 5 in. of the inlet connection in a straight
section after the last bend (or in the manifold itself)
Table 4-5
Pressure Taps
Connect a precision gauge between pressure taps P
1
and P
2
to determine pressure drop of the
system. Two precision gauges may be used as desired.
The maximum pressure drop for the MBE4000 engine is listed in the “Technical Data” section
of this manual (refer to section 14).

TEST
Thorough preparations prior to testing will ensure accurate results.
□
Con
fi
rm all instrumentation and equipment is in good working condition and calibrated.
□
Tests should be run on a
fi
nalized package installed in unit or vehicle representative of
the
fi
nal package to be released.
□
Shutters must be fully opened and fan drive mechanisms in the fully engaged position.
All CAC system tests should be performed with the engine operating at maximum rated speed
and wide open throttle (full fuel).
All information subject to change without notice.
