4. Muffler Assembly
The main function of the silencer is to reduce the
amount of noise emitted by the engine exhaust
gases flow. It typically makes use of the change in
the cross sectional area which can be made as a
chamber to filter or reduce the sound waves
which the engine produces.
The silencers are divided into two main groups.
i)
Front Pipe Assy with Presilencer
ii) Exhaust Pipe Assy, Rear
5. Turbocharger (Waste Gate Turbocharger)
Turbochargers are a type of forced induction
system. They compress the air flowing into the
Engine .The advantage of compressing the air is
that it lets the engine squeeze more air into a
cylinder, and more air means that more fuel can
be added. Therefore, you get more power from
each explosion in each cylinder. 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) -- that's
about 30 times faster than most car engines can
go. And since it is hooked up to the exhaust, the
temperatures in the turbine are also very high.
