Can a turbocharged car be turned off directly?
1 Answers
For turbocharged cars, it is best not to turn them off directly. Before shutting down, let the engine idle for 3 minutes to allow the turbo to cool down, which helps protect the turbo. Below is some relevant information about turbocharging: 1. The main difference between turbocharging and gas turbines: The turbocharging unit does not have a combustion chamber or corresponding systems. The turbo utilizes the exhaust energy of a reciprocating internal combustion engine, and the compressed air provided by the centrifugal compressor serves as the charge for the reciprocating internal combustion engine. In a turbocharger, the compressor impeller and the turbine are assembled on the same rotating shaft, called the rotor. Other components such as seals and thrust washers are also mounted on the same rotor shaft and rotate together. 2. Classification of turbocharging technologies: The main turbocharging technologies currently include mixed-flow turbocharging technology, variable turbocharging technology, two-stage turbocharging technology, and electrically assisted turbocharging technology.
