How long after parking should a vehicle with a turbocharger be turned off?
1 Answers
A vehicle with a turbocharger should be turned off 3-5 minutes after parking. Below are the specific details about turbochargers: 1. Definition: A turbocharger is essentially an air compressor that increases air intake by compressing air. It utilizes the inertial force of exhaust gases from the engine to drive the turbine in the turbine chamber, which in turn drives the coaxial impeller. The impeller compresses air delivered through the air filter pipe, pressurizing it into the cylinder. As the engine speed increases, the exhaust gas velocity and turbine speed also rise synchronously, allowing the impeller to compress more air into the cylinder. The increased air pressure and density enable the combustion of more fuel, and by adjusting the fuel quantity and engine speed accordingly, the engine's output power can be enhanced. 2. Components: A turbocharger also includes necessary bearing devices for normal operation, lubrication and cooling systems, sealing and insulation devices, as well as fixed parts such as the compressor housing, intermediate housing, and turbine housing. 3. Classification: Turbochargers are categorized into radial-flow turbochargers and axial-flow turbochargers based on the type of turbine.
