What is the speed of the supercharger?
1 Answers
The supercharger is installed on the exhaust side of the engine, so it operates at very high temperatures. During operation, the rotor speed of the supercharger is extremely high, reaching up to hundreds of thousands of revolutions per minute. Turbocharger: Turbochargers often operate at high speeds and temperatures. The exhaust turbine side of the turbocharger can reach temperatures around 600 degrees Celsius, and the turbocharger rotor spins at speeds between 8,000 to 11,000 rpm. Therefore, to ensure the turbocharger functions properly. Do not drive off immediately: After starting the engine, especially in winter, allow it to idle for a while to ensure the lubricating oil fully lubricates the bearings before the turbocharger rotor reaches high speeds. Thus, avoid revving the engine aggressively right after startup to prevent damage to the turbocharger oil seal.
