What are the types of superchargers?
1 Answers
There are three types of superchargers: centrifugal superchargers, screw-type superchargers, and Roots-type superchargers. Like turbocharging systems, supercharging systems are forced induction systems. Both superchargers and turbochargers can increase the engine's air intake, but there are some differences between them. The working principles of these two forced induction systems are different. Compared to turbocharging technology, supercharging completely eliminates throttle response lag, turbo lag, and sudden power output, achieving instantaneous throttle response and linear power output with RPM, thereby enhancing driving performance. Additionally, supercharging technology outperforms turbocharging in terms of low-speed high torque and instant acceleration.
