INTRODUCTION

 A turbocharger is a device used to allow more power to be

produced for an engine of a given size.
 A turbocharged engine can be more powerful and efficient
than a naturally aspirated engine because the turbine forces
more intake air, proportionately more fuel, into the combustion
chamber than if atmospheric pressure alone is used.
 Its purpose is to increase the volumetric efficiency of the
combustion chamber.
OBJECTIVES

• To improve an engines volumetric efficiency by increasing the

intake density.

• The turbine converts the engine exhausts potential pressure

energy and kinetic velocity energy into rotational power,
which is turned used to drive the compressor.

• The power needed to spin the centrifugal compressor is

derived from the high pressure and temperature of the engines
exhausts gases.

Working

 Turbochargers are a type of forced induction system. They

compress the air flowing into the engine.
 A turbocharged engine produces more power overall than the
same engine without the charging.
 This can significantly improve the power to-weight ratio for
the engine. In order to achieve this boost, the turbocharger
uses the
 exhaust flow from the engine to spin a turbine, which in turn
spins an air pump. The turbine
 in the turbocharger spins at speeds of up to 150,000 rotations
per minute (rpm) .
Advantages

 Increase the power from the engine of same size.

 Reduction in size of engine with same input.

 Efficiency of the engine is increased.

 Less moving parts.

Disadvantages

 If the turbine is damaged then the whole rotor requires

replacement.

 Cost and complexity.

 Space required is higher

 Total system is heavier.

Applications

 Diesel powered cars

 Gasoline powered cars.
 Trucks
 Aircrafts
 Marine engines
Conclusion

• From this literature review it has been concluded that from last
two decades various attempts were made to improve the power
output of an engine and to reduce its emissions by making
some changes and installing additional accessories like
intercooler in the turbocharging technology.
