Why are there more and more turbocharged cars?
Nowadays, most models on the market are equipped with turbocharged engines. Superchargers became popular as early as more than ten years ago, and have gradually become marginalized in the past ten years. From ordinary scooters to luxury cars, they have gradually Be eliminated. Why are there more and more turbocharged cars? What is the reason for the gradual elimination of supercharging?
Mechanical supercharging has always been known for its smoothness, quick response, and no hysteresis. There are many advantages of supercharging, but there are also many disadvantages such as insufficient potential, average fuel economy, relatively high manufacturing costs, etc.; in short, with the displacement of internal combustion engines The lower it is, the smaller the space for the supercharger system to survive.
What are the disadvantages of supercharging compared to turbocharging?
1. Insufficient supercharger power
The work of the supercharger system needs to take power from the engine. The crankshaft drives the supercharger to run, and the operation of the supercharger consumes part of the crankshaft torque. When the load is low, the excess power of the crankshaft is used for supercharging, entering a larger mass of air and burning more oil.
2. Supercharging is not suitable for small displacement engines
Superchargers are more suitable for large displacement engines, especially those V6, V8, V10, etc.; because V-shaped engines have a V-shaped angle, the huge supercharger can fit into the V-shaped angle. It is not that the small-displacement L-shaped engine cannot be equipped with a supercharger, but it requires a lot of space.
3. High cost of supercharging
The cost of the supercharger is higher, because the supercharger has more accessories and requires far more parts than the turbocharger, and has a completely independent sound insulation system and heat dissipation system; moreover, in the past ten years, the equipment There are fewer and fewer models of superchargers, and superchargers are becoming less and less popular, and the cost will be higher and higher.
Today's supercharging has almost no advantage over turbocharging, which is the main reason why supercharging is gradually being eliminated.
