What are the precautions for using a turbocharger?
1 Answers
Turbocharger usage precautions are: 1. After starting the engine, especially in winter, let it idle for a period of time to allow the lubricating oil to fully lubricate the bearings before the turbocharger rotor operates at high speed; 2. After prolonged high-speed operation of the engine, do not shut it off immediately; 3. When disassembling the turbocharger, maintain cleanliness and ensure all pipe connections are properly blocked with clean cloth to prevent debris from entering and damaging the rotor. A turbocharger is essentially an air compressor that uses the inertial force of exhaust gases from the engine to drive a turbine in the turbine chamber. The turbine then drives a coaxial impeller, which compresses air delivered from the air filter pipe, pressurizing it into the cylinders. As engine speed increases, the exhaust gas velocity and turbine speed also increase synchronously, allowing the impeller to compress more air into the cylinders. The increased air pressure and density enable more fuel to be burned, correspondingly increasing fuel supply and adjusting engine speed to enhance the engine's output power.
