    Turbocharger Vs Supercharger 1

    Uploaded by

    Vibhor Jain
    This document compares turbochargers and superchargers. It explains that both systems increase engine efficiency by forcing more air into the engine. However, they differ in their components and how they function. A turbocharger uses exhaust gases to spin a turbine which drives a compressor. Common turbocharger configurations include twin parallel, sequential, and variable twins. A supercharger directly drives an air compressor using the engine, and common types are roots, centrifugal, and screw designs. Both systems provide benefits like increased power but also disadvantages such as added weight and cost.

    TURBOCHARGER VS SUPERCHARGER

    Submitted to: Submitted by:


    J.K. Gera Vibhor Jain(14MEU119)
    WHAT ARE THEY
     Their purpose is to increase the efficiency of the internal combustion
    engine.

     They do that by increasing the amount of air entering the engine.

     A super/turbocharged engine produces more power than any ordinary


    engine.
    SO WHAT MAKES THEM DIFFERENT?
    TURBOCHARGER COMPONENTS
     Turbine

     Compressor

     Intercooler

     Wastegate valve
    WORKING
    TYPES OF TURBOCHARGER
     Twin Parallel

     Twin Sequential

     Twin Variable
    TWIN TURBOCHARGER
     Both turbos always active

     Both turbos of same size


    TWIN SEQUENTIAL

    •At low RPM, only


    one turbocharger is
    working.

    •At high RPM, both


    turbochargers are
    working.
    TWIN VARIABLE
    ADVANTAGES
     It increases the efficiency of the engine.

     It provides more power at high RPM.

     It makes less noise.


    DISADVANTAGES
     It is expensive.

     It increases the weight of the engine.

     It only functions at high RPM.


    SUPERCHARGER
    INTRODUCTION
    A supercharger is an air compressor used for forced induction of an
    internal combustion engine.
    The higher concentration of oxygen provided by a super-
    charger is matched with a larger amount of fuel from the fuel injectors
    thus boosting the power of the engine.
    Principle of working
    More fuel + More air = Bigger explosion = Greater horsepower
    But we cannot simply pump more fuel into the engine.
    The chemically correct mixture – (14 : 1 :: air : fuel) – is
    essential for an engine to operate perfectly.
     Thus superchargers provides more air by compressing air
    above atmospheric pressure , hence providing more fuel into
    the charge & would make for a more powerful explosion .
    Thus: Increased Power , Torque and Speed is achieved.
    SUPERCHARGER TYPES
    BASICLY THREE MAIN TYPES OF THE
    SUPERCHARGERS:-
    1. Roots Types
    2. Centrifugal Type
    3. Screw Type
    Roots supercharger

    It consists two cylindrically shaped lobes in opposite direction in a


    common housing.

    Air enters the space in between the rotor lobes at inlet and is carried
    around the rotor to discharge port.
    A standard engine with the addition of a supercharger
    Centrifugal Superchargers

    It consists an impeller which is rotates in


    clock-wise direction.
    The air enters the hub of the impeller axially
    and is turned radially by radial vanes.
    The air leaves the impeller at high speed,
    but low pressure.
    A diffuser converts the high-speed , low-
    pressure air to low-speed , high-pressure air.
    Twin-Screw Supercharger
    It contains a set of worm gears.
    Air enters in supercharger through the top rear and
    it’s compressed between the rotors.
    Once the air is screwed and compressed the full
    length of the rotors it remains in compressed state
    between the rotors until the engine demands the
    boosted air.
    Advantages of Supercharger
    Increased power
    No lag – Consistent power delivery
    Generally better throttle response
     No Special Procedures or extra maintenance
    Easier to install than turbochargers
    Disadvantages of Supercharger
    Consumes a lot of power from the engine (therefore not very
    efficient)
     Increases the strain on the engine
    Expensive
    Noise
    Which do I prefer?

    As an engineer, it’s difficult to not side with efficiency. Turbochargers


    simply make more sense, as they improve the efficiency of the engine in
    multiple ways. Superchargers are an extra demand on the engine, even if
    they are capable of producing useful boost at low RPM. But if you find
    yourself unable to decide, it is possible to use both simultaneously, and
    it’s called twin charging.
