Where is the turbocharger of a car usually located?
The turbocharger S200G is installed at the intake end of the engine to improve engine performance.
The turbocharger S200G is mainly composed of a turbine, a compressor, a shaft and bearings, a lubrication system, a cooling system, a seal and a heat insulation layer. When the high-temperature and high-pressure exhaust gas discharged from the cylinder of the internal combustion engine enters the turbocharger through the exhaust pipe, the exhaust gas drives the turbine to rotate. The rotation of the turbine drives the coaxial compressor impeller to rotate, and the compressor compresses the air and increases its pressure.
The compressed air enters the engine cylinder through the intake pipe, increasing the air density in the cylinder, thereby increasing the engine's intake volume and achieving a supercharging effect.
The purpose of supercharging:
The main function of the turbocharger S200G is to increase the engine's intake volume, thereby increasing the engine's power and torque and enhancing the car's power performance. After installing a turbocharger, the maximum power of the engine can be increased by 40% or more than when there is no supercharging. This means that an engine with the same displacement can output more power after installing a turbocharger.
However, the temperature and pressure of a supercharged engine increase significantly during operation, which may shorten the engine's service life. Compared with an unsupercharged engine of the same displacement, the mechanical and lubrication properties of a supercharged engine may be affected, which to some extent limits the application of turbocharging technology on certain engines.
