TURBOCHARGERS MUCH MORE THAN POWER BOOSTERS

摘要

Turbochargers contribute significantly to the high performance of diesel engines, achieving the following advantages over a naturally aspirated engine: 1. A substantial increase in engine power for a given size and piston speed or a substantial reduction in engine dimensions and weight for a given output 2. An appreciable reduction in the specific fuel consumption rate at all engine loads 3. A reduction in initial engine cost 4. Increased reliability and reduced maintenance costs from less exacting conditions in the cylinders 5. Enhanced operating flexibility 6. Cleaner emissions.
