Turbo

A turbocharger consists of two chambers connected by a center housing, containing a turbine wheel and compressor wheel connected by a shaft. The exhaust drives the turbine wheel, which drives the compressor wheel to force additional air into the engine's combustion chamber, increasing power output. Turbocharger response time depends on wheel size, with smaller wheels accelerating more rapidly but having less airflow capacity. An intercooler cools the compressed air to increase density and oxygen content before entering the engine.

Turbocharger

Braulio Campos Vidal

Turbocharger

By connecting a centrifugal
turnocharger to a turbine drive
wheel and installing it in the
exhaust path, the lost engine
horsepower is regained to
perform other work and the
combustion heat energy lost in
the engine exhaust (as much
as 40% to 50%) can be
harnessed to do useful work.

This is the concept of a


turbocharger.

Main Parts

A turbine wheel is turned by the expanding exhaust gases.

Turbocharger

A turbocharger consists of
two chambers connected
by a center housing.

The two chambers contain


a turbine wheel and a
compressor wheel
connected by a shaft
which passes through the
center housing.
The exhaust drives the turbine wheel on the left,
which is connected to the impeller wheel on the
right through a shaft. The bushings that support
the shaft are lubricated with engine oil under
pressure.

Turbocharger

Turbocharger response time is directly related to the size of the turbine


and compressor wheels.

Small wheels accelerate rapidly; large wheels accelerate slowly.

While small wheels would seem to have an advantage over larger ones,
they may not have enough airflow capacity for an engine.

To minimize turbo lag, the intake and exhaust breathing capacities of an


engine must be matched to the exhaust and intake airflow capabilities
of the turbocharger.

BOOST CONTROL

Turbocharger system is designed to provide a pressure greater than


atmospheric pressure in the intake manifold.

This increased pressure forces additional amounts of air into the


combustion chamber over what would normally be forced in by
atmospheric pressure.

This increased charge increases engine power.

The amount of boost (or pressure in the intake manifold) is measured


in pounds per square inch (PSI), in inches of mercury (in. Hg), in bars, or
in atmospheres.

Intercooler

The air which is compressed by the turbocharger into the engine gets
heated up due to compression. Usually when air is compressed its
temperature rises and becomes hot. This hot air has low density, volume
and minimum oxygen content, therefore it affects the performance of
the engine.

The solution to this problem is the turbo intercooler. The turbo


intercooler cools the compressed air from turbocharger and feeds it to
the air intake system of the engine. So the air entering into the engine is
made dense and cold. Hence it has high oxygen content and volume,
which is necessary for better combustion of fuel.

Process of the air flow

Exhaust waste from the engine cylinder travels towards the


turbocharger.

Exhaust waste powers the turbine Wheel which is connected to the


compressor Wheel by the turbine shaft.

Turbine shaft rotates the compressor Wheel and compressing cool air.

Compressed air travels through an intercooler for further cooling before


reaching the engine cylinder.

The fuel is injected into the combustion chamber where the compressed
air and detonation occurs.

Exhaust waste is let out by the combustin and the process repeats
itself.
