turbopuhaltimet

Turbopuhaltimet, also known as turbochargers, are devices used to increase the power and efficiency of internal combustion engines. They work by utilizing the exhaust gases produced by the engine to spin a turbine. This turbine is connected to a compressor, which in turn draws in more ambient air and compresses it before it is fed back into the engine's cylinders.

The increased density of the air-fuel mixture entering the cylinders allows for more fuel to be burned, resulting in a significant boost in power output. This process can also lead to improved fuel efficiency, as the engine can produce more power with less displacement or at lower engine speeds. Turbopuhaltimet are commonly found in both gasoline and diesel engines, and their use has become widespread in passenger cars, trucks, and performance vehicles.

The primary components of a turbopuhalltin are the turbine, the compressor, and the wastegate. The turbine housing directs the exhaust gases onto the turbine wheel, causing it to rotate. The compressor wheel, located on the same shaft as the turbine, draws in fresh air and compresses it. The wastegate is a valve that controls the flow of exhaust gas to the turbine. When the boost pressure reaches a predetermined level, the wastegate opens, diverting some of the exhaust gas away from the turbine, thus limiting the maximum boost pressure and preventing engine damage. Regular maintenance and proper oiling are crucial for the longevity and optimal performance of turbopuhaltimet.
