What Causes a Turbocharger to Glow Red?

[OZachary]

The reasons for a turbocharger glowing red may include insufficient cooling efficiency of the cooler or a clogged turbocharger. Some naturally aspirated engines may have their exhaust headers glow red after long-distance driving, which is a normal phenomenon. Below is a detailed introduction about automotive engines: 1. Overview: The automotive engine is the device that provides power for the vehicle, determining its power, fuel economy, stability, and environmental friendliness. Depending on the power source, automotive engines can be categorized into diesel engines, gasoline engines, electric vehicle motors, and hybrid systems, among others. 2. Others: Common gasoline and diesel engines are both types of reciprocating piston internal combustion engines, capable of converting the chemical energy of fuel into the mechanical energy of piston movement and outputting power externally. Gasoline engines have high rotational speeds, are lightweight, produce less noise, start easily, and have lower manufacturing costs. Diesel engines have higher compression ratios, better thermal efficiency, and superior fuel economy and emission performance compared to gasoline engines.
