Turbochargers

Description

The turbocharger is one of the most ingenious inventions in the automotive industry, able to harness a large quantity of energy that otherwise would be dissipated without any advantages. The heat engines (thermal engines) fascinate the man thanks to their powerful expression of energy but unfortunately take advantage of a small percentage converted into mechanical movement, while a considerable amount of thermal and kinetic energy is released into the environment without producing any type of useful work. The turbocharger placement in the exhaust system allows to recover a good part of the energy contained in the gases expelled following the explosion. This energy is then used to rotate the shaft wheel fitted with the compressor wheel which is able to suck air from the environment and to compress it inside the powder chamber. The increase of the air mass and therefore of the oxygen allows to burn a higher quantity of fuel which permit to obtain a strong increase of the available energy. An ingenious system invented many years ago but exploited in a massive way on combustion engines both in the Diesel cycle and in the Otto cycle only since the end of the ’70s.
