Back pressure

[1] The resistance to the flow of exhaust gases through the exhaust system. By rerouting the exhaust gases for noise suppression, a muffler causes back pressure, but a straight pipe alone causes only minimal back pressure. Some engines require back pressure, so that removing the exhaust system will cause internal damage.
[2] Pressure in low side of refrigerating systems; also called suction pressure or low-side pressure.
[3] The pressure opposing the motion of the piston of an engine on its exhaust stroke.
[4] The exhaust pressure of a turbine. Increased by clogged or defective exhaust system.
See also exhaust back pressure, negative back pressure valve, negative back pressure modulated valve
