Turbo-charger is an air compressor driven by exhaust gas from the operation of internal combustion engine.Similar to the function of mechanical supercharger, both can increase the air flow into internal combustion engine or boiler, thus improving the efficiency of the machine.Commonly used in automotive engines, turbochargers can increase the horsepower output of internal combustion engines by utilizing the heat and flow of exhaust gases.Generally, the weight of automotive internal combustion engine will increase after installing the supercharger, and the energy used to overcome inertia will increase.
The main function of turbocharging is to increase the air intake of the engine, so as to increase the power and torque of the engine and make the car more energetic.When an engine is fitted with a turbocharger, its maximum power can be increased by 40% or more compared to when it is not installed.This means that the same engine can generate more power after being pressurized.Take our most common 1.8 T turbo engine, after charging, the level of the power can reach 2.4 L engine, but fuel consumption is higher than 1.8 engine is not much, in another level is to improve fuel economy and reduce emissions.
