What does a turbocharger mean?

[VanKennedy]

Turbocharging refers to the process where the exhaust gases from a car are not directly released into the atmosphere. Instead, they are used to drive the turbocharger, which pressurizes the intake air, thereby improving intake efficiency, increasing power output, and reducing fuel consumption. As the engine speed increases, the exhaust gas discharge speed and the turbocharger speed also increase simultaneously, enhancing the degree of air compression. This, in turn, increases the engine's air intake, thereby boosting the engine's output power. Precautions for using turbochargers: 1. Turbocharged engines require higher-performance engine oil that is resistant to high temperatures and has good oxidation resistance. Additionally, the oil change interval should be shortened accordingly to maintain the lubrication and cooling effects of the oil on the turbocharger. 2. Turbocharged vehicles are equipped with oil coolers and intake system cooling devices to lower the temperature of the turbocharger. The radiator and thermostat should also be appropriately enlarged to improve thermal efficiency, thereby fully enhancing the cooling conditions of the turbocharged engine.
