What Is Exhaust Turbocharger


Exhaust turbocharger is actually an air compressor that increases air intake through compressed air. It uses the inertial impulse of exhaust gas from the engine to push the turbine in the turbine chamber, the turbine drives the coaxial impeller, the impeller compressed the air from the air filter pipe to pressurize it into the cylinder. The increased air pressure and density entering the cylinder can burn more fuel, accordingly increase fuel amount and adjust engine speed, which can increase the output power of the engine.

Turbochargers are based on the principle of forced induction. It is the process of forcing compressed air into the intake for combustion.



PARTS OF TURBOCHARGERS

A Turbocharger consists of -

1.) COMPRESSOR HOUSING

2.) COMPRESSOR WHEEL

3.) BEARING

4.) OIL SEALS

5.) SHAFT

6.) TURBINE WHEEL

7.) TURBINE HOUSING

The middle part whole part together is called a turbocharger cartridge. The compressor wheel and the turbine wheel are connected with the shaft so that turning the turbine wheel will turn the compressor wheel . A turbocharger is designed to rotate over a hundred thousand rpm. An oil feed line from the engine will lubricate the shaft and the bearing provides less friction.

WORKS WITH THE ENGINE

An engine without any forced induction device is a naturally aspirated engine. The air is pulled in through an air filter by the suction force of the piston. Then it get mixed with the fuel, compressed and gets ignited. With a turbocharger introduce, the exhaust gas from combustion turns the turbine wheel. This turns the compressor wheel and more air is compressed and fed to the engine. Now understand what is going in turbocharger, the exhaust gas from the engine will push the turbine wheel and this turns the compressor wheel forcing more air into the engine. According to Gas laws - "For a constant volume, increase in air pressure increases its temperature". So there will be a difference in temperature after charging. Forcing this air into the engine can reduce efficiency and cause knocking. In order to cool this air, an inter cooler is introduced. An inter cooler is an air to air heat exchanger device which helps to cool this air before it enters the engine. So introducing an inter cooler into the system will increase the charge density by cooling the air and provides volumetric efficiency.

In conclusion a turbocharger will provide more air to expand on combustion and produces more power. Exhaust turbocharger is widely used in a diesel power generator.

What Is the Difference Between Electric Motor and Electric Generator

An electric motor is an electrical machine that converts electrical energy into mechanical energy. Most electric motors operate through the interaction between the motor's magnetic field and winding currents to generate force. In certain applications, such as in regenerative braking with traction motors, electric motors can be used in reverse as generators to recover energy that might otherwise be lost as heat and friction. An electric generator operates in the reverse direction, converting mechanical energy into electrical energy. Electric generator can be divided into various type, open type, silent type, trailer type, portable type and container type, etc. Electric generator is mainly composed of diesel engine & alternator. Electric generator set is mainly composed of engine, alternator, control module, and common base. Electric generator :- Electric generator is a type of machine which converts mechanical input (energy) into electrical output (

Engine Fault Code Messages - Volvo Penta Engine

Volvo Penta Engine Fault Code When a malfunction has occurred and the diagnostic system has generated one or more fault codes, these are read out differently depending on the equipment used. Please refer to “Fault code messages”. If the system indicates that a fault code has been set: 1 Cut engine speed to idle, or shut the Volvo engine off. 2 For DCU/DU Read the fault code from the display, please refer to Reading fault codes via the DCU or Reading fault codes via the DU. For CIU press the diagnostic button and read the fault code, by observing the flashing of the diagnostic lamp. Refer to Reading fault codes via the diagnostic lamp, CIU. 3 Look up the fault code in the Fault Code Register chapter and take the recommended measures. Reading fault codes via the DU (Display Unit) Depending on the severity of the fault the text, either WARNING! or ALARM STOP (a buzzer sounds) will be shown on the display 1 Press any button to come to the fault list.

Types of Diesel Engine and Application of Diesel Generator

This article will guide you to learn diesel engine types and important role of diesel generator. If you are interested, please keep reading.  What Are Diesel Engines? A type of internal combustion engine more accurately known as a compression ignition engine is designed to provide power by compressing the fuel at high temperature and significant pressure until it ignites. Diesel engines are either two-stroke or four-stroke .   ‘Stroke’ means the movement of the piston in the engine. Two-stroke This engine uses one stroke in each direction.   The first stroke being compression, which results in the ignition of the compressed fuel.   The return stroke brings new fuel into the cylinder. Four-stroke This engine has one compression stroke and one exhaust stroke and each one of those has a return stroke – hence, four-stroke. The compression stroke compresses the fuel/air mixture prior to ignition.   The exhaust stroke pushes the burnt gases out the exhaust. The
