What are the benefits and drawbacks of turbocharger rotors?
Benefits.
The main function of a turbo is to increase the air intake of the engine, thus increasing the power and torque of the engine and making the car more powerful. When an engine is fitted with a turbocharger, its comparative power can be increased by 40% or more compared to when it is not fitted with a supercharger. This also means that the same engine can produce more power after being supercharged.
Take our more common 1.8T turbocharged engine, after supercharging, the power can reach the level of 2.4L engine, but the fuel consumption is not much higher than 1.8L engine, in another level is to improve fuel economy and reduce exhaust emissions.
The downside.
However, after supercharging, the engine pressure and temperature are greatly increased, so the engine life will be shorter than the same displacement engine without supercharging, and mechanical performance, lubrication performance will be affected, which also to a certain extent limits the application of turbocharged technology in the engine.
