turbocharger

The turbocharger is a centrifugal compressor that gets power from the turbine energy source comes from vehicle exhaust fumes. Commonly used in internal-combustion engines to increase power output and efficiency of the engine by increasing the pressure of air entering the engine. The key advantage of turbochargers is that they offer a lot of good improvements in engine power with little added weight.

Turbocharger discovered by a Swiss engineer Alfred Buchi. Applied for its patent for a turbocharger used in 1905. Locomotive and vessel diesel with turbocharger machined was also seen in the 1920s.

A loss in a gasoline engine is the compression ratio should be lowered (so as not passed through the maximum compression pressure and to prevent engine knocking) that decrease the efficiency of the machine when operating at low energy. This loss was not on the diesel engine designed specifically diturbocharge. However, for operation at altitude, energy income from a turbocharger make much difference to the total energy output from the second type of machine. This last factor makes aircraft engines with turbochargers is very profitable, and is the beginning of thought to the development of this tool.
