What does turbocharging in cars mean?
1 Answers
The turbocharging in cars means that the exhaust gas is not directly discharged into the atmosphere, but instead drives the turbocharger to pressurize the intake air, thereby improving intake efficiency. It can also increase power and reduce fuel consumption. Precautions for using turbocharging: 1. The engine oil for turbocharged engines must be of higher quality, capable of withstanding high temperatures and having 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 cars 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. 3. Do not shut off the engine immediately. After the engine has been running at high speed, immediately shutting it off will cause a sharp decrease in the oil supply to the turbocharger bearings. At this time, the turbocharger is still running at high speed due to inertia. The lack of lubrication and cooling for the bearings under high temperature and high speed can be fatal damage.
