NTK’s addition of EDPS completes its portfolio of anti-pollution products

Niterra Australia, which describes itself as “the world’s leading ignition and sensor specialist,” has announced the launch of its new NTK Exhaust and Differential Pressure Sensor (EDPS) range.
Niterra says the premier status of its brand NTK in the industry is driven by its dedication to four competitive advantages – range, availability, tech support, and OE standards.
EDPS plays a significant role in engine optimisation. They are required to provide engine control units (ECU) with the necessary information regarding the exhaust gas pressures and the filling level of the diesel particulate filter (DPF).
The NTK EDPS range include differential pressure sensors (DPS), Exhaust Pressure Sensors (EPS) and High-Pressure Sensors (HPS).
It provides comprehensive vehicle coverage, and the sensors are capable of being installed at a variety of different vehicle positions.

Differential Pressure Sensors
The DPS gauges the pressure drop between two positions in the flow pattern. It is installed at different locations in the exhaust manifold (before/after the DPF, before/after the catalyst, before/after the turbocharger or before/after the EGR (exhaust gas recirculation) cooler).
At one point, it regulates the low-pressure gas recirculation. At the other position, it observes the function of the DPF, while also reporting its charge status back to the ECU.

Exhaust Pressure Sensors
The EPS measures the pressure and reports this information back to the ECU. It can be mounted at different positions in the exhaust system, for example before the DPF, before the turbocharger or after the turbocharger.

High-Pressure Sensors
The HPS measures the back pressure of the exhaust gases. It is installed either before the DPF, before the turbocharger, after the turbocharger, or after the EGR cooler.
This information is sent to the ECU which uses it to monitor and protect the turbocharger unit. The monitoring of output air pressure prevents back pressure damage to the exhaust manifold.
For EGR valves and EGR Coolers, the information is also used to adapt and control the exhaust gas recirculation rate – which is important in terms of adhering to the emissions standards.

A completed portfolio
Building on years of leadership in sensor technology for both vehicle manufacturers and the aftermarket, NTK’s addition of EDPS completes its portfolio of anti-pollution products.
“Our range, availability, technical support and OE quality makes NTK Sensors the most trusted brand for mechanical workshops,” Niterra Australia, NTK Product Manager, James Henson said.
“Modern vehicles require greater efficiency, optimised fuel consumption, and maintained performance while ensuring safety, pollution, reliability and long service life.
“All these functions depend on the ECU, which processes inputs from sensors throughout the vehicle. Quality sensors are crucial for ensuring that vehicles operate as intended by the manufacturer.”
To support these new ranges, NTK has released educational marketing materials, including an informative YouTube video and complementary advertising artwork.
