Turbocharger Design Process of the air flow: http://auto.howstuffworks.com/turbo7.htm

WORKING OF TURBOCHARGER Workings of the Turbocharger: 1. Exhaust waste from the engine cylinder travels towards the turbocharger. 2. Exhaust waste powers the turbine wheel which is con nected to the compressor wheel by the turbine shaft. 3. Turbine shaft rotates th e compressor wheel drawing in and compressing cool air. 1. Compressed air travels through an intercooler for further cooling before reachin g the engine cylinder. 1. 2. Fuel mixes with the compressed air and is ignited by the spark plug. Exhau st waste is let out by the combustion and the process repeats itself (Nice).

Detailing Specific Parts The Turbine: The turbine wheel begins the whole process of sending compressed air to the engi ne cylinder. Turbine wheels can be made of steel or ceramic blades, but ceramic is preferred because it is lightweight meaning it will spin faster and prevent t urbo lag. Turbo lag is the delay that comes from the engine not responding to th e boost acquired from the turbocharger (Nice). Turbine wheels can rotate anywher e between 80,000 and 150,000 revolutions per minute (RPM) (Nice). The turbine wh eel is connected to the turbine shaft, and the two are connected by ball bearing s or fluid bearings.

Detailing Specific Parts The Turbine: Proper mounting and connection between the turbine and turbine shaf t is necessary because it operates at such high speeds. The wastegate releases e xcess exhaust waste from the turbine. www.angelfire.com/.../turbo_files/image003.jpg

Detailing Specific Parts Compressor: When the compressor wheel spins, it draws in air from the ambient air inlet loca ted on the opposite side of the turbine exhaust gas inlet to retrieve cool air. The compressor increases the density of incoming air by six to eight pounds per square inch (psi). At sea level, the density of air is 14.7 psi, so the compress or yields about a fifty percent increase (Nice). The highly compressed air leave s the compressor section through the compressor air discharge as it travels towa rds the intercooler.
