CAUTIONS IN USING THE TURBOCHARGER

WHAT IS THE TURBOCHARGER?
Turbochargers are based on gas turbine en-
gine technology, but operate under consider-
ably greater pressure. The turbocharger con-
sists of two turbo elements, a turbine and a
compressor, both of which are driven from the
main center shaft. The turbine rotates between
50,000 ~ 160,000 spins per minute and uses
the energy of the exhaust gas to drive the
compressor. The compressor, in turn, draws
in fresh air which it supplies to the cylinders
in compressed from. As more fuel is drawn
into the engine, output performance is boosted
between 15-30% in comparison to a non-tur-
bocharged engine.
Advantages of a turbocharger
Turbocharger helps the engine operate more
smoothly and with greater efficiency.
• Increase specific power
• Compensate for power loss at altitude
• Reduce emissions
What is the intercooler?
The inter-cooler cools down the compressed
air temperature to increase the engine power
by increasing the air density.
