How Many Types of Engine Boost Methods Are There?
1 Answers
There are 4 types of engine boost methods, namely: mechanical supercharging; pressure wave supercharging; exhaust gas turbocharging; and compound supercharging. The following sections provide details: 1. Mechanical Supercharging: This device is installed on the engine and connected to the engine crankshaft via a belt. It derives power from the engine output shaft to drive the supercharger's rotor, thereby compressing air and forcing it into the intake manifold. 2. Pressure Wave Supercharging: Utilizes the pulse pressure waves of high-pressure exhaust gases to compress air. This system offers excellent boost performance and acceleration but is relatively bulky, making it less suitable for installation in smaller passenger vehicles.
