What is the service life of a turbocharger?
1 Answers
Modern turbochargers can have a service life of up to 250,000 kilometers. Advantages of turbochargers: 1. Increase engine power output. Without changing the engine displacement, the intake air density can be increased, allowing the engine to inject more fuel, thereby enhancing engine power. The power and torque of an engine equipped with a turbocharger can be increased by 20%~30%. 2. Improve engine emissions. Turbocharged engines enhance combustion efficiency, reducing the emission of harmful components such as particulates and nitrogen oxides in engine exhaust. 3. Provide altitude compensation. Engines with turbochargers can overcome the power loss caused by thin air at high altitudes. 4. Improve fuel economy and reduce fuel consumption. Due to better combustion performance, turbocharged engines can save 3%-5% of fuel. 5. High reliability, excellent matching characteristics, and high transient response characteristics.
