TURBOCHARGER

Principal view of turbocharger

The turbochargers are driven by the exhaust gases coming from the cylinders through the opened exhaust valves. The compressor is driven by the turbine. The energy of the exhaust gases are used to compress the intake air of ambient pressure to a higher level. The charged air enlarges the air quantity fed into the combustion space and thus makes it possible to burn a bigger amount of fuel in the cylinder space.

The combustion air is taken outside of engine to the compressor side of the turbocharger. Passing through the compressor side, the air pressure and density are increasing as well as the temperature. The hot air is cooled down in the charge air coolers.
