A diesel turbocharger is a device that helps to compress the air going into the engine, which in turn increases the power of the engine. A turbocharger is made up of three parts: Compressor, turbine, and exhaust.
The compressor compresses air and sends it to the turbine. The turbine then drives the compressor by converting kinetic energy into heat energy. The exhaust then releases this heat energy from the system.
A turbocharger can be either mechanically driven or electrically driven. Mechanically driven turbos provide more power but suffer from an increased lag time. Electrically driven turbos use less power, but have a higher cost and do not provide as much performance as their mechanical counterparts.
Are There Diesel Turbochargers and Gas Turbochargers?
Turbochargers are used on both gas and diesel engines for improved performance and power.
