What is normal exhaust gas temperature?
Exhaust gases normally discharges at a temperature of around 420°C (788°F).
Why is EGT important?
Why is EGT important? Because if your in-cylinder temperatures get too hot, you can melt pistons, crack heads, destroy turbos, and create general havoc within your engine. A diesel needs a certain amount of heat to run, but high EGT should definitely be avoided.
What is cht and EGT?
CHT measures heat energy wasted during the power stroke, when the cylinder is under maximum stress from high internal pressures and temperatures. EGT measures heat energy wasted during the exhaust stroke, when the cylinder is under relatively low stress.
What temp is too high for EGT?
How Hot Is Too Hot? Based on our own experience in the sled pulling and drag racing world, we can definitely say that any engine running at 1,800 to 2,000 degrees EGT for more than a second or two should be rebuilt every season and may incur turbocharger, cylinder head, or piston damage during the season.
What does CHT mean in aviation?
CHT (cylinder head temperature) Air cooled engines have a Ram air box which is installed (both sides) over the heads. The natural airflow over the heads, part of the cylinders and between the cooling fins cool down the head and the cylinder.
What is CHT gas?

What causes high EGT in a diesel?
The richer the air/fuel ratio in a diesel, the higher the EGT will be. Two things can create a rich mixture under heavy loads or at full throttle: the first is too much fuel, and the second is not enough air.
What do EGTs tell you?
EGT is an indication of how hot the combustion process is in the cylinders, and the amount of “afterburning” that is occurring in the exhaust manifold. EGT is also directly related to the air/fuel ratio. The richer the air/fuel ratio in a diesel, the higher the EGT will be.
What is considered high EGT?
How Hot Is Too Hot? Based on our own experience in the sled pulling and drag racing world, we can definitely say that any engine running at 1,800 to 2,000 degrees EGT for more than a second or two should be rebuilt every season and may incur turbocharger, cylinder head, or piston damage during the season.
How much EGT is too much?
Best DPI setting You do want to avoid playing at too high of a DPI, anything past 12000 is likely excessive, but more importantly, some sensors at this DPI accelerate and emulate the dots per inch, causing inconsistencies, it's not a true raw DPI.
