4) Operating principle
The turbocharger is an piece of equipment which increases the engine's power
by sucking air at a high density into the cylinder of the engine by making use of
the exhaust heat energy of the engine.
5.3.2. General information
The engine output depends upon the supplied fuel quantity and the engine efficiency. In
order to transform into the effective work of engine by burning the supplied fuel fully,
the sufficient air to burn the fuel should be supplied to the cylinder. Therefore, the
engine output is essentially determined by the size of the cylinder, and for if the air is
supplied to the given volume of cylinder with the air being compressed, the air quantity
in the cylinder will Increase as much to result in that it may burn more fuel. the output
will also be able to increase, Supplying the air by compressing like this into the engine
cylinder is called as super charging, and super charging by means of exhaust gas
energy that discharges to the atmosphere is called as the turbo charging.
