Turbokõrguse

Turbokõrguse, also known as turbocharging, is a technology used in internal combustion engines to increase the amount of air and fuel that can be forced into the cylinders. This is achieved by using a turbine to compress the air entering the engine, thereby increasing the air pressure and allowing more air to be drawn into the cylinders. The increased air pressure also allows more fuel to be injected into the cylinders, leading to a more complete combustion and higher power output.

The turbine is driven by the engine's exhaust gases, which are directed through a turbine housing. The turbine spins the compressor, which in turn forces more air into the engine. This process is known as forced induction. Turbochargers can significantly increase the power output of an engine, making them popular in high-performance vehicles and racing.

However, turbochargers also introduce some challenges. One of the main issues is turbo lag, which is the delay between the driver pressing the accelerator and the turbocharger spinning up to its full potential. This can make the engine feel sluggish at low RPMs. Additionally, turbochargers can be more complex and expensive than naturally aspirated engines, and they require regular maintenance to ensure they are functioning properly.

Despite these challenges, turbocharging has become a staple in many modern engines, offering a balance between power and efficiency. It is widely used in a variety of applications, from everyday cars to high-performance sports cars and even in some diesel engines.
