The hot air cools down when passing through the heat exchanger and enters the cylinder’s air intake.

Individual Sockets and Socket Sets

A generic description of what happens is this. As engine load increases and the engine produces more power, the exhaust pressure increases at the same time. Since it passes through the hot side of the turbocharger, the turbine is driven faster, driving the compressor wheel on the cold side at the same revs, and that pressurises the intake system. The air gets hot when it’s compressed which isn’t good for combustion so it usually passes through an intercooler on the way to the engine’s inlet ports via a throttle body, or individual throttle bodies. Intercoolers are simply air-to-air heat exchangers, like a radiator but without the water. The question could arise that why not the turbochargers get overheated despite running in extreme temperatures and taking huge loads of pressure. The answer is – an intercooler. There is an intercooler with every turbocharger that cools down the discharged hot air. The oil cooling system takes care of the turbo and does not let it become overheated. Another benefit of using turbochargers is that they enable the engine to yield more torque at the lower rev range, which gives a car an edge while driving around the city. The additional torque comes handy for easily pinching the gaps.

The exhaust gasses leave the car through the exhaust pipe. They waste less energy than an engine not having a turbocharger. There’s one particular reason for this and that’s balance. The Garrett T3 fitted to cars like my Ford Sierra Cosworth will reach 110,000rpm and the only thing between its compressor and the engine is the intercooler. Catastrophic turbo failures resulting in fragments being swallowed by the engine don’t bear thinking about and a specialist will balance the assembly and rebuild the turbo to factory specifications. In the UK, Owen Developments is a well known purveyor of all things turbo and there’s also Bernie Wilky of Bernie’s Blowers fame who can be found on Facebook.The diesel-run cars mainly have a turbocharged engine. In addition, most automakers have one or two turbocharged models in their line of products. To name a few, Renault-Nissan has labeled their turbo-diesel as dCi and turbo-petrol as TCi, which are TDI and TSI for Volkswagen and TDCI and Ecoboost for Ford, respectively. However, superchargers can produce a better throttle response because of their more direct and mechanical connection to the engine. Unlike the turbos, there is no lag to delay the response. What Car Models Have the Turbo Engine? At a certain point that pressure has to be nipped in the bud and that’s when the control system does its stuff. Mechanical wastegate actuators are opened by pressure from the boost side of the turbo acting on a diaphragm inside the actuator. That opens a simple valve on the hot side allowing exhaust gas to bypass the turbine. At the same time, inlet boost pressure must be released and that’s what the cold side pressure relief valve does.

If you are looking for the resolution to delete turbo lag, electric turbocharger is your main weapon. Assisting turbochargers where conventional turbo is not the best, electric turbocharger works by adding electric motors spinning the compressor of the turbo until the power from exhaust volume is high enough to start the turbocharger. And this is the most perfect turbochargers since it has the solutions for every problem of conventional turbochargers. How Does a Turbo Work? Just like the name, a second turbocharger is installed to the engine. By doing this, the second turbo allows higher power and wider RPM range. To be more specific, the smaller turbo works at low RPMs, while the large one for higher RPMs. As a result, twin-turbo is high in the complexity, and cost. Variable Geometry Turbocharger We’ll have a look at the detail of the sort of boost control systems you can expect to find in the next instalment but before that, what about the turbo itself? Basic turbochargers are fairly straightforward in that they comprise castings, nuts, bolts and studs to hold everything together, a spindle running in bearings through the turbo casings, with the turbine on the hot end and compressor wheel on the other. There could be nothing more to it than that or there may be a wastegate mechanism incorporated into the casing. Simple, yes, and the temptation to have it apart on the bench and fit some new bits is great, but this is one that’s best left to the experts with the right equipment.

When a turbocharger brings more air into the chamber, it gets mixed with more fuel, yielding more power as a result. It smuggles air by compressing it using the energy of the exhaust gasses coming out of the engine. A turbo engine. Source: Fast Car Different Types of Turbocharger?

How does a turbo work in a car engine? It applies almost the same principle of a jet engine. It has two main parts – a turbine and a compressor. When one part spins, the other spins with it too because they are linked to each other. Exhaust gasses blast out of the engine when the fuel burns inside the combustion chamber. The gasses go down into a tube and wind the turbine, which rotates at significantly high speeds and causes the compressor (which is actually a turbine in reverse) to spin. This chain of action siphons more air into the engine cylinder, allowing burning more fuel and producing more power each second. Due to the burning of more fuel, the energy output will be bigger faster, and the engine will be able to send more power to the wheels.A turbocharger is a turbine-driven forced induction machine that boosts the efficiency and power output of an internal combustion engine by bringing additional air into the combustion chamber. The extra power is definitely the key selling point of turbochargers but it is not the only benefit they offer. Another lucrative advantage is the fuel efficiency. A turbo engine uses much less fuel to produce the same power as compared to the standard engines. This is the reason for Ford to use a 1.0-liter turbo engine in the place of the 1.6-liter petrol engine in some of their models. Similarly, you will see a 4-cylinder turbo engine instead of a 6-cylinder and a turbocharged V6 replacing a V8 in many new models.
