A brief introduction to turbochargers
The supercharger increases the density of the intake air by compressing the intake air, thereby improving the combustion efficiency of the fuel, thereby increasing the output power of the engine. Common superchargers include superchargers and turbochargers.
A turbocharger is a supercharger driven by exhaust energy. Its principle is to flow high-speed gas into the turbine impeller through the exhaust flow, drive the turbine to rotate, and drive the compressor to compress the intake air. Turbochargers have the advantages of fast response, high efficiency, and less mechanical failure.
In contrast, a supercharger uses a transmission mechanism to transmit the engine speed to the compressor to achieve supercharging. The supercharger has the characteristics of simple structure and large low-speed torque, but its response speed is slow and its efficiency is relatively low.
Whether it is a supercharger or a turbocharger, both can be used to increase the output power of the engine, but it is very important to choose the appropriate type of supercharger according to different usage conditions and needs.
