Advantages of Turbocharging?
|
|
|
There are a number of benefits to be gained by turbocharging. A non turbocharged engine receives air via the effort of the crankshaft and atmospheric pressure alone. A turbocharger provides pressurised air which permits more air, and therefore more fuel, to be introduced into the cylinder. The end result is more power and higher combustion efficiency. This means that more power can be had from a smaller displacement engine. Additional advantages may include increased fuel economy and emission reductions.
Because the turbocharger delivers more air to the engine, combustion of the fuel is more complete, cleaner, and takes place within the engine cylinders where its work is accomplished. the positive air pressure(above atmospheric pressure) that is maintained in the engine intake manifold benefits the engine in several ways. During engine value overlap, clean air is pushed across the combustion chamber scavenging all remaining gases while cooling the cylinder heads pistons and values.
Turbo Chargers may also be used to altitude compensate(normalise) a non turbo charged engine. An engine and turbocharger are matched and/or controlled to maintain sea level atmospheric manifold pressure at altitude, whereas a natural aspirated engine will loose horsepower with altitude gain as pictured below.
