An automotive turbocharger is a mechanical device that increases engine efficiency by supplying more air to the cylinders. It consists of two basic elements: a compressor and a turbine.The compressor is responsible for drawing in air and compressing it before it is delivered to the engine. This allows the engine to receive more oxygen, which increases combustion efficiency and engine power. The compressor works by compressing air using a rotating impeller, which accelerates the air and increases its pressure.The turbine is connected to the compressor rotor via a common axis. Its task is to use the energy of the exhaust gases that flow from the burned air and fuel to drive the compressor rotor. Thanks to this, the compressor does not require an external energy source and is powered by engine exhaust gases.An automotive turbocharger has many benefits such as increasing engine power, improving torque, increasing fuel efficiency and reducing exhaust emissions. However, it also requires proper maintenance and regular service to ensure proper operation and durability.
