What is the Principle of a Supercharger?
1 Answers
The principle of a supercharger is: it uses the engine's own power to drive the turbine for boosting. It is connected to the engine crankshaft pulley via a belt, utilizing the engine's rotational speed to drive the internal blades of the supercharger, thereby generating pressurized air that is sent into the engine's intake manifold. This increases the air pressure within the intake manifold, overcoming valve interference resistance while maintaining the original dimensions of the intake manifold, valves, and camshaft. Due to the increased intake pressure, more air is forced into the combustion chamber during each valve opening period, and the fuel injection quantity is correspondingly increased, enhancing the engine's working efficiency compared to before the supercharging.
