Why Use Turbocharging?

[LaNora]

Adding turbocharging to a car can effectively enhance the power of small-displacement vehicles without increasing the engine speed, while also boosting engine power. This avoids the high fuel consumption associated with large-displacement vehicles, offering outstanding economic benefits and mature technology. Additionally, it provides car manufacturers with considerable profits, as turbocharged vehicles are more expensive to maintain and service compared to naturally aspirated (non-turbocharged) vehicles. Below is an introduction to turbocharging: 1. Turbocharged engines have outstanding advantages, consuming less fuel and producing fewer tailpipe emissions than naturally aspirated engines of the same power output, which is crucial in today's environmentally conscious era. 2. Turbochargers operate at extremely high speeds and generate much higher pressure than mechanical superchargers. They utilize exhaust gases to drive a turbine in the exhaust pipe, which in turn spins a compressor in the intake pipe, achieving indirect pressurization without consuming engine power. 3. However, due to the inertia of the turbine and the significant resistance of the intermediate bearings, the turbine speed cannot increase immediately when exhaust gases suddenly surge, resulting in turbo lag.
