1.05L REVOTORQ ENGINE
71
Components :
A. Exhaust Manifold :
The exhaust manifold is mounted on
the cylinder head. The exhaust gases are trapped
out from the engine through the exhaust manifold.
B. Turbocharger
(WGT) :
The power output from an internal combus-
tion engine depends on the mass of the air and fuel
quantity that are available for combustion. To in-
crease the engine horse power, more air for
combustion and more fuel have to be delivered.
The turbocharger is one of the common
super charging devices used in an engine. It makes
use of thermal energy of engine exhaust gases to
run a turbine which in turn drives a compressor to
pressurize the inlet air. It also helps in improving the
volumetric efficiency of the engine.
Waste Gate
This feature in turbocharger consists of a
bypass valve built into turbine housing controlled by
an actuator. Some part of the exhaust gas going to
the turbine is bypassed through this valve. This is
as shown in the sketch. The waste gate arrange-
ment reduces the high boost pressure developed by
the compressor to the desired value, thus obtaining
the optimum engine performance with controlled
peak cylinder pressure.
Precautions :
Avoid Lifting the turbo-charger by holding the
actuator.
Avoid Lifting turbo-charger holding the rod end of
the actuator.
Avoid Lifting turbo-charger holding the compres-
sor side.
Hold the turbo-charger at the turbine housing
/center housing.
No foreign particles (dust/dirt) should enter the
vacuum line.
Ensure the conditions of handling and installation
of turbocharger/manifold are such that there is
no risk of shocks, dropping the turbocharger or
damage to the sealing surfaces (turbine housing
inlet and outlet surfaces, compressor inlet and
outlet, oil circuit), or damage to the actuator or
flow adjusting rod and screw which might lead to
the misalignment.
If the turbocharger is dropped, then it should be
inspected. If it is damaged, it should not be used.
Put few drops of oil during assembly and rotate
the wheel with finger. Look for free movement of
wheel with no wheel rubbing.
