ENGINE 1.3L QUADRAJET (90PS) 91 TURBOCHARGER Principle of operation: 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. The advantages of modern turbocharged engine, over naturally aspirated engines of identical power output are : Q Lower fuel consumption Q Lower emission Q Better torque characteristics Q Lower weight and a smaller engine package Q Lower engine noise Q Altitude compensation As a result, turbochargers contribute significantly to the protection of the environment and the better utilization of energy resources.
