What does turbocharging mean?
1 Answers
Turbocharging is a technology that uses the exhaust gas generated by the operation of an internal combustion engine to drive an air compressor. The main function of turbocharging is to increase the intake air volume of the engine, thereby improving the engine's power and torque. After a turbocharger is installed on an engine, the maximum power can increase by 40% or even more compared to when no turbocharger is installed. In other words, the same engine can output greater power after being turbocharged. Taking the commonly seen 1.8T turbocharged engine as an example: after turbocharging, the power can reach the level of a 2.4L engine, while the fuel consumption is not much higher than that of a 1.8L engine. In another sense, this means improving fuel economy and reducing exhaust emissions.
