Turbocharger speed method to calculate power
This method is more accurate than the Fuel pump index method. Chart I: draw a horizontal line from the observed scavenge air temp (Tscav) value and an inclined line from the observed turbocharger speed. From the intersection point, draw a vertical line down to the nomogram curve and then a horizontal line to the vertical line from the observed ambient pressure (point x in the ambient pressure scale). Finally, a line is drawn parallel with the inclined ‘ambient pressure correction’ lines. The effective engine power can then be read on the scale at the right hand side, i.e. 8,000 bhp.
