Definitions

1. Turbochargers are another type of forced induction system which has its compressor powered by a gas turbine running off the exhaust gases from the engine.
2. Turbochargers are in many ways more suited to operation in diesel engines.
3. Turbochargers are powered by the mass-flow of exhaust gases driving a turbine.
4. Turbochargers are used in reciprocating aircraft engines which are designed for high altitude use.
5. Turbochargers are typically 70-85% efficient, at peak efficiency, due to having to heat the air during the compression. (Web site)

Technology

1. It also predicts how technology will evolve, and how the powertrain of the future will provide new opportunities for turbochargers and superchargers.

Development

1. Turbochargers with foil bearings are in development which eliminates the need for bearing cooling or oil delivery systems. (Web site)

Advantages

1. Even in engines operating under a constant load (such as electrical generators), turbochargers have advantages over superchargers.

Lighter

1. Ceramic turbine blades are lighter than the steel blades used in most turbochargers.

Injection

1. It becomes especially potent - in theory - when combined with other technologies like turbochargers, direct injection, variable valve timing and lift, etc. (Web site)

Inline

1. A Pair of turbochargers mounted to an Inline 6 engine in a dragster.

Internal Combustion Engines

1. They are also used in internal combustion engines as superchargers and turbochargers. (Web site)

Diesel

1. The technology used in microturbines is derived from aircraft auxiliary power systems, diesel engine turbochargers, and automotive designs.

Gasoline Engines

1. The added capacity will produce turbochargers for both diesel and gasoline engines.

Air Mass

1. Turbochargers and superchargers are engineered to force more air mass into an engine's intake manifold and combustion chamber. (Web site)

Diesel Engines

1. This problem is less pronounced with turbochargers used in diesel engines, due to the lower exhaust temperatures and generally slower engine speeds.

Output

1. Superchargers and turbochargers use output energy from an engine to achieve a net gain, which must be provided from some of the engine's total output.

Different Sizes

1. The two-stage turbocharger housing is integrated with the exhaust manifold and contains two turbochargers of different sizes. (Web site)

Ball Bearings

1. Ball Bearings Some turbochargers use ball bearings instead of fluid bearings to support the turbine shaft. (Web site)

Bearings

1. Most bearings would explode at speeds like this, so most turbochargers use a fluid bearing. (Web site)

Compressors

1. The compressors and turbines are typically radial-flow designs, and resemble automotive engine turbochargers.

Power

1. Turbochargers tend to improve power at high engine speeds, and if an intercooler is added, torque tends to improve at lower speeds. (Web site)
2. Aircraft such as the P-38 Lightning, B-17 Flying Fortress, and P-47 Thunderbolt all used turbochargers to increase high altitude engine power. (Web site)

Locomotives

1. Diesel ships and locomotives with turbochargers began appearing in the 1920s.

Turbine Engines

1. Other companies such as Garrett make both gas turbine engines and turbochargers.

Turbocharger

1. His patent for a turbocharger was applied for use in 1905.[ 1] Diesel ships and locomotives with turbochargers began appearing in the 1920s. (Web site)

Boosting

1. Chapter 13 - Outlook and roadmap for engine boosting to 2011 for turbochargers and superchargers.
2. Until relatively recently, turbochargers were primarily employed in high performance applications, boosting the output of already high power engines.

Intercoolers

1. Poor power and narrow torque bands have been helped by the use of turbochargers and intercoolers.

Exchangers

1. Nickel-based superalloys like Inconel are used in high temperature applications such as turbochargers, pressure vessel, and heat exchangers. (Web site)

Engines

1. Some engines use two turbochargers of different sizes.

Aircraft Engines

1. In aircraft engines the main benefit of turbochargers is to maintain manifold pressure as altitude increases. (Web site)

Air

1. Keeping the air that enters the engine cool is an important part of the design of both superchargers and turbochargers.
2. Variable geometry turbochargers have flexible vanes, which move and let more air into the engine depending on load. (Web site)

Incoming Air

1. Turbochargers and superchargers pressurize the incoming air to effectively cram more air into a cylinder. (Web site)

Turbine

1. Turbochargers can be tuned to give you any amount of boost between 0 and 24+psi of boost, depending on the size of the turbine. (Web site)

Exhaust Gases

1. Unlike turbochargers, which use the exhaust gases created by combustion to power the compressor, superchargers draw their power directly from the crankshaft. (Web site)

Main Problems

1. Turbo Lag One of the main problems with turbochargers is that they do not provide an immediate power boost when you step on the gas.

Supercharger

1. Smaller two stroke engines (for example, Detroit 71 series) are fitted with turbochargers and a mechanically driven supercharger. (Web site)

Superchargers

1. Superchargers and turbochargers can " boost " manifold pressure to above atmospheric pressure. (Web site)
2. Turbochargers and superchargers compress incoming air, causing it to become heated (see the universal gas equation).
3. Power in a four-stroke engine is increased without the necessity to employ superchargers or turbochargers. (Web site)

Turbochargers

1. Turbochargers and superchargers are particularly useful at high altitudes and they are frequently used in aircraft engines.
2. As opposed superchargers driven by the engine itself, turbochargers are driven using the exhaust gases from the engines. (Web site)
3. Meanwhile, turbochargers and superchargers increase or maintain power output while decreasing fuel use with downsized engines. (Web site)
