What happens when a diesel engine turbocharger fails?

[MacDavid]

When a diesel turbocharger fails, the engine power will significantly decrease, and the turbocharging effect will be lost. Prolonged operation may lead to poor exhaust heat dissipation, and a sharp, piercing noise may occur when the engine is running. Additionally, insufficient air intake into the combustion chamber can result in reduced power. Stepping on the accelerator may not increase power but instead cause black smoke emissions. The exhaust gas turbocharger in a car engine is a highly precise device widely used in power equipment such as construction machinery and generator sets. Without altering the basic structure of the diesel engine, the turbocharger can increase power by 30% or more and reduce fuel consumption by about 5%, delivering significant economic benefits.
