Turbocharger serves to increase engine output. This is especially true if the car has a certain displacement. This happens because the air is supplied into the cylinder, which is pre-compressed in the compressor. When more air is fed into the cylinder, respectively, the more fuel is supplied. When it burns, it releases more energy. Thus, the main function of the turbocharger is air injection into the engine cylinders under pressure. Turbocharger construction is not complex. Centrifugal compressor, gas turbine and wheels are rigidly attached to the common shaft.

Exhaust gases enter the chamber of the gas turbine through the outlet pipe. After they are directed to the turbine wheel blades and rotate them together with the shaft. Gazes get into the atmosphere through the exhaust pipe. As for the wheel which is fixed to the shaft, it sucks air from the atmosphere through an air cleaner. Air is pumped into the engine cylinders under excessive pressure on the inlet pipe that increases their filling. If the turbine and compressor wheels are even slightly unbalanced because of the high speed, this can cause severe vibration. To avoid this, a bronze bearing acts like a shaft support.

Also, do not forget about the role of oil, which is pumped through a special slit-band filter to the bush. The oil goes into the inner chamber to perform its primary function - lubrication of the wear surface of the shaft. After that, the oil passes through the outer bush groove in the gap between the bush and the body, forming an oil cushion. It serves to damp vibration that occurs when the shaft is moving. To control oil pressure, which goes to the turbocharger, in the average body a connection is installed.

If the turbocharger or any other car part, like fuel level sensor or starter, fails, before driving to the workshop order a new part.
