A "Turbocharger" is driven by exhaust gas. A "Supercharger" is driven mechanically by the engine.
Pressure in a turbocharger is regulated by various components such as exhaust gas pressure,condition of blower and impeller blades,condition of gas passage on suction and exhaust side,condition of air filters,closing and opening timings of exhaust and inlet valves.
Types of turbochargers Turbochargers are of two types and they are pulse and constant pressure type turbocharger. Pulse type turbocharger: In pulse type turbocharger, the exhaust gas directly enters the turbine side and drives the turbine with the exhaust gas energy. The connection from the exhaust side of an engine is directly connected to the turbine side of a turbo charger. The pipe connections from the exhaust gas towards the turbine side are generally small in length and exhaust grouping is provided to prevent the blowback of gases from one cylinder to another. Constant pressure type turbocharger: In constant pressure type turbocharger, the exhaust gases gets collected in a single exhaust gas reservoir, where the pressure is maintained constant so as to avoid any fluctuation in the exhaust gas energy pressure. The exhaust gas is introduced to the turbine side after maintaining the pressure inside the cylinder. Materials: Turbine and compressor blades: Steel or nickel alloy. Volute casing: cast iron Bearings: steel or gun metal.
Exhaust temp has an effect on the output of a turbocharger cooler the exhaust the better performance you get.
A turbocharger is driven by the energy in the exhaust gasses from the engine.
a turbocharger uses exhaust gas to spin an impeller that boost atmospheric pressure and feeds it into engine
A turbocharger is driven by the exhaust from the engine. A supercharger is belt driven off the engine.
The flow of exhaust gasses
is a centrifugal compressor powered by a turbine which is driven by an engine's exhaust gases.
A supercharger is belt driven and a turbocharger is exhaust driven
The everyday use for an anti-lag system is to feed air to the exhaust system. The anit-lag system is used to keep the turbocharger spinning when the engine is not delivering enough exhaust gas.
supercharger is belt/gear driven of the motor, the turbocharger is driven by exhaust gases from the exhaust.
