Which is More Fuel-Efficient: Cars with or without Turbochargers?

[LincolnAnn]

Cars without turbochargers are more fuel-efficient. Below is the relevant introduction: 1. Turbocharger: A centrifugal compressor and turbine are combined into one unit, called a turbocharger. The main difference from a gas turbine is that this unit does not have a combustion chamber or corresponding system. The turbine operates using the exhaust energy from a reciprocating internal combustion engine, and its centrifugal compressor provides compressed air as the charge for the reciprocating internal combustion engine. 2. Components: The rotor is the key component of a turbocharger. In addition, a turbocharger includes the necessary bearing system for normal operation, lubrication and cooling systems, sealing and insulation devices, as well as fixed parts such as the compressor housing, intermediate housing, and turbine housing.
