What Are the Types of Automotive Turbocharging?

[DiLena]

Types of automotive turbocharging: 1. Mechanical supercharging system: 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 pressurizing air and blowing it into the intake manifold. 2. Pressure wave supercharging system: Utilizes the pulse pressure waves of high-pressure exhaust gases to force air compression. This system offers excellent supercharging performance and acceleration but is relatively bulky, making it less suitable for compact cars. 3. Exhaust gas turbocharging system: The turbocharger has no mechanical connection to the engine and essentially functions as an air compressor, increasing air intake by compressing air. 4. Compound supercharging system: Combines exhaust gas turbocharging and mechanical supercharging. This setup is more commonly used in high-power diesel engines, delivering substantial engine output power, low fuel consumption rates, and minimal noise. However, its complex structure, high technical requirements, and challenging maintenance make it difficult to popularize.
