how the turbos works?

Question

the turbos of the cars

Answer 1

A turbocharger basically works as follows. Exhaust gases exit the engine , where the turbo is located. Inside the turbo is are 2 sets of vanes, (think of them as 2 fan blades connected by a shaft) and a waste gate. The waste gate is normally closed. This essentially blocks the exhaust and allows the exhaust vanes to spin fast.(some well over 100,000 rpm!) Now the vanes on the other end of the shaft are also spinning, only this vane is pumping air into the engine (more air, more fuel, more power!) There is also a pressure sensor in the system that allows the waste gate to open at a pre-determined pressure. This keeps the turbo from "Over-boosting" the engine, which would destroy the engine. Most turbos have engine oil and coolant running through them, to help keep them cool. Engine maintenance is more critical on a turbo engine due to the increased temperatures and pressures. I hope this helps you understand how a turbocharger works.

Answer 2

An engine is like a lung, it breathes oxygen. Just like your car is faster and you can run farther in cold weather because more oxygen can fit in the engine, a turbo does the same thing...

A turbo forces more air and fuel and most importantly, oxygen, into the mechanical lung.

Answer 3

The exhaust on you car turnes a fan. The fan in attached to the air intake on your carb or intake manifold. There is enough pressure from the fan to create 3 to 10 psi, but is regulated by a waste gate yo only a few psi.

Instead of your car sucking in air, it's now being forced in. This creates more pressure inside each cylinder.

Answer 4

Basically, the pressure from the exhaust gases from the engine are used to spin a turbine. The power from that turbine is used to force more air into the combustion chamber of the engine, which creates a more powerful explosion, since air is more combustible than the gasoline, which creates more power from the engine.

Answer 5

Turbos use exhaust air to turn an impeller & compress the intake air..

Answer 6

well think of it like this oyu have a round fan thats hooked in the exust and the shaft from that fan runs over to the intake side with another fan on it as the engin produces more exust its also turning the fan for the intake side so the more going out the more you get going in

Answer 7

The hot exhaust gas from the engine is diverted to turbines which spin incredibly fast and compress air to shove into the engine.

Answer 8

The turbine compresses air before it's sent into the cylinders. Higher compression means more power when the fuel ignites. More power means faster acceleration and higher speeds.
