Wastegate
Fig. 164
This feature in turbocharger consists of a bypass valve
built into turbine housing. Some part of the exhaust
gas going to the turbine is bypassed through this valve.
T
his is as shown in the sketch. The wastegate
arrangement reduces the high boost pressure
developed by the compressor to the desired value,
thus obtaining the optimum engine performance with
controlled peak cylinder pressure.
Intercooler
: Intercooler is air to air heat exchanger
used to cool compressed air from turbocharger prior
to entry to inlet manifold. This increases the density
of air entering the engine inlet manifold and helps in
improving the engine power output, fuel efficiency and
emissions.
Boost control device (FIP LDA)
D
uring sudden acceleration, there is a time lag for the
turbocharger to supply air into the intake manifold at
the desired pressure sufficient for proper combustion,
causing heavy black smoke till the turbocharger
attains the desired speed and delivers air at the
required pressure. To overcome this, a boost control
device (LDA unit) is incorporated in the fuel injection
pump which is actuated by the air pressure inside the
inlet manifold and controls the fuel delivery in
accordance with the air pressure available inside the
inlet manifold.
Maintenance of the turbocharger
As there is no mechanical drive connection between
engine and the turbocharger, apart from the engine
inspection at regular intervals no additional or particular
maintenance services are required for the turbocharger
unit. Therefore no adjustments or repairs should be
carried out on the turbocharger. In case of doubtful
performance or difficulties experienced, insist on repair
from the authorised Tata Motors Service centre how
ever, following precautionarymeasures should be taken
to obtain trouble free performance.
1.
D
uring regular engine inspection look care fully for
any oil leakage at the oil inlet banjo connection on the
turbocharger bearing housing. Do not run engine
unless leakage at this point is rectified.
2.
D
o not stop the engine suddenly as it may damage
turbocharger rotor bearings. Allow engine to idle for
some time before switching it off. Similarly, do not
race engine suddenly and unnecessarily.
3.
S
ince the speed of the turbocharger rotor assembly
is tremendously high, it must get clean filtered oil which
comes from the engine lubrication system.Therefore,

ensure cleanliness of the engine oil by adhering to
regular schedules of engine oil and oil filter cartridge

A
s the unfiltered dust particles coming in the
turbocharger compressor may prove dangerous, make
sure that there is no leakage in air intake system and
that the air filter element is in good condition and sealed
perfectly.
Repair of turbocharger
We do not recommend servicing of turbocharger fitted
on this engine. Hence whenever turbocharger is not
functioning efficiently it is recommended to replace it
with new one.
