what is meant by turbo chargers?

Question

i want its use
need for vechiles

Answer 1

A turbocharger is an exhaust driven turbine that forces more compressed air into your engine, boosting performance. It allows you to get more horsepower out of a smaller engine. By forcing more air into the engine you can burn more gasoline, increasing power and more efficiently using fuel. It's popular on European sports cars because even though they are built for high performance they still have small engines by American standards. For example, most Porsche engines were never more that 3.8 liters, while Ford Mustangs had engines starting around 5.0 liters.


A turbo is like 2 small fan blades on one axel.
On one side, the engine's exhaust turns one of the blades before the exhaust exits out the exhaust pipe.On the other side, the other blade spins on the same axel, driven by the exhaust blade, but it forces air into the engine under pressure.
Because fuel needs air to burn, more air gives a better burn, hotter, with a more powerful explosion in the cylinder.

This extra power allows more horsepower from a smaller, lighter engine.

Turbo lag - a term you may hear, is the time difference from when you actually step on the gas to the time the turbo provides the power. This happens because the turbo is driven by the exhaust, and it takes a sec for the thing to catch up with the engine's need for more air and fuel.

Overdriven & under driven - when fans on each side are not operated at the same speed, usually so the exhaust side can still provide adequate power while the intake side spins faster.

And the wastegate- it's a device that allows excess pressure in the intake to be bled off, to prevent engine damage. They're specifically designed for times when the vehicle is slowing down, but the exhaust may still be spinning the fans quickly, producing too much boost for the demands of the engine.

I am not an expert by any means on turbo's, but have a basic working knowledge.

Turbo chargers give a larger volume of air to an engine . They are driven by the exhaust gases and are often only in use in the higher gears they give in say a Diesel engine approx twice the power of a non turbo charged engine
