Ensure Optimal Performance with Clarke’s Exhaust Backpressure Calculator
Clarke fire pump engines are engineered for performance under pressure — but performance that depends on correct exhaust system sizing. Exhaust back pressure, present in both exhaust piping and the exhaust muffler (silencer), is the pressure exhaust gases run into when traveling through the exhaust system. Although completely normal, excessive back pressure can negatively affect an engine's performance. Clarke's exhaust backpressure calculator confirms if the calculated backpressure is in an acceptable range for proper engine performance.
Critical Exhaust System Design Details for an Efficient System
There are many factors that affect system performance, including:
- Exhaust pipe diameter size (in inches)
- Exhaust pipe length (in feet)
- Number of 90 degree elbows
- Number of 45 degree elbows
- Exhaust silencer grade (critical, hospital, industrial, or residential)
- Layout
You can verify an exhaust system configuration using Clarke's Exhaust Backpressure Calculator, which allows you to consider the most critical diesel engine exhaust system details.
Whether you're specifying a new system or reviewing an existing one, this tool ensures your exhaust system won't hold back your engine.
