Where is the Supercharger Installed?
1 Answers
The supercharger is installed at the intake end of the car engine. Composition of the Supercharger: The turbocharger consists of a turbine, a compressor, as well as shafts and bearings, a lubrication system, a cooling system, seals, insulation devices, and other components. The high-temperature, high-speed exhaust gas discharged from the internal combustion engine cylinders is supplied to the turbine of the turbocharger through the exhaust pipe, driving the turbine to rotate. The turbine, in turn, drives the compressor impeller, which is on the same shaft, to rotate. Main Function of the Turbocharger: Its primary purpose is to increase the engine's air intake, thereby enhancing the engine's power and torque, making the car more powerful. After installing a turbocharger on an engine, its maximum power can increase by 40% or more compared to when it was not equipped with a supercharger. This means that the same engine can output greater power after being turbocharged.
