Allowable engine air inlet restriction (see the engine manufacturer’s engine data

sheet):

Clean _____________________

Dirty _____________________

Recommended Test Procedure:

Install a water manometer (gauge) to read the pressure at the air inlet fitting

on the compressor. If the compressor shares the engine air intake system

then restrict the engine air filter such that at rated engine power and speed

the engine is at its maximum allowable inlet restriction for a dirty filter (see

the engine data sheet). Under this condition operate the engine at rated

speed and power and read the pressure at the compessor air inlet fitting

while the compressor is loaded/pumping.

Measured compressor air inlet restriction:

(measured at compressor at rated engine speed and power with a dirty filter )
