Temperature drops about 200-300f at full throttle/underload as it masses through the turbo. Under light load/cruising it can dropas much as 500f before/after the turbine.
is a centrifugal compressor powered by a turbine which is driven by an engine's exhaust gases.
now a days superchargers are replaced by the turbocharger. supercharger is taking drive from engine while turbocharger taking drive from exhaust gases.
In a turbocharger, the inlet exhaust temperature is high because it is receiving hot exhaust gases directly from the engine, which are rich in energy and pressure. As these gases pass through the turbocharger, they expand and lose energy, resulting in a lower outlet exhaust temperature. This temperature drop is a result of the conversion of thermal energy into mechanical energy, which drives the turbine and compressor. Consequently, the turbocharger efficiently utilizes the high-temperature exhaust gases to enhance engine performance while reducing the temperature at the outlet.
A turbocharger is activated by the exhaust gases produced by an engine. As the engine operates, these gases flow through the turbine side of the turbocharger, spinning the turbine. This rotation drives a connected compressor, which forces more air into the engine’s intake, increasing its efficiency and power output. The process is typically controlled by the engine management system to optimize performance and prevent overboosting.
Simply put, a turbocharger uses the exhaust to spin a turbine thus compressing air which is then forced into the intake. A supercharger is driven off the engine crankshaft and forces air into the intake. They both do the same thing but the turbocharger uses the exhaust gases to compress air and the supercharger uses the engine's motion.
When an engine starts, a turbocharger typically spins at a low speed, often around 10,000 to 20,000 RPM. However, this speed can vary depending on the engine design and turbocharger specifications. As the engine accelerates and exhaust gases increase, the turbocharger can reach much higher speeds, often exceeding 100,000 RPM during full operation. Proper engine warm-up is essential to ensure the turbocharger operates efficiently and reliably.
That's basically what a turbocharger does.
EGR uses exhaust gases for decreasing the pollution levels. Here the exhaust gases are actually fed to the precombustion chamber or the ignition chamber. In a turbocharger, the energy of the exhaust gases is used for compressing the ambient air, and the exhaust gases are then released.
supercharger is belt/gear driven of the motor, the turbocharger is driven by exhaust gases from the exhaust.
Turbocharger is used to boost the air quantity in air fuel mixture with the help of exhaust gases coming from engine. Large amount of air fuel mixture helps to give more power output. So to increase power output of our engine we use a turbocharger.
A turbocharger uses exhaust gases to drive a turbine which forces more air into the cylinders, allowing for more fuel to be burned per cycle, resulting in increased horsepower. Besides performance, a turbocharger can also be used in a low-displacement engine (e.g. 1.6L) to match the performance of a larger engine (e.g. 2.5L), resulting in better fuel efficiency for similar performance. In conclusion, a turbocharger improves performance and fuel efficiency.
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.
