SWITCHOVER VALVES
Operation of an switch over valve is comparable to a switch in an
electric circuit: Pressure / low pressure is “switched over” between
two connections.
PRESSURE TRANSDUCER
Pressure transducer are used in large numbers in exhaust gas
return systems (AGR) and VTG chargers (“Variable Turbo Geometry”,
turbochargers with adjustable guide vanes).
COMPLAINTS
Since electropneumatic valves are used in many systems of a
vehicle, the symptoms which indicate a malfunctioning or failed
valve can be highly varied:
• Insufficient power
• Turbo lag in the case of turbochargers
• Black smoke
• Jerkiness
• Emergency operation (in case of a malfunctioning valve in
the EGR system)
