Ingersoll Rand 50277 Dump Valve
Ingersoll Rand 50277 Dump Valve
Product Description :
- It is a mechanical device used in turbocharged or supercharged engines to release excess boost pressure from the intake system.
- The primary function is to prevent compressor surge and protect the turbocharger or supercharger from damage by releasing built-up boost pressure when the throttle is suddenly closed or during deceleration.
- They are typically designed as a spring-loaded valve connected to the intake manifold or intercooler piping. When excess boost pressure exceeds a preset limit (typically set slightly above normal boost pressure), the dump valve opens, allowing the pressurized air to vent to the atmosphere or recirculate back to the intake before the turbocharger inlet.
- It is a critical component in turbocharged and supercharged engines, designed to protect the turbocharger from damage due to compressor surge while enhancing performance and drivability by maintaining consistent boost pressure. The choice between atmospheric and recirculating types depends on performance preferences, emissions requirements, and tuning considerations.
