Because centrifugal superchargers utilize centrifugal forces to compress the air, they offer higher efficiency than positive displacement designs, both in terms of power consumption and heat production. "Perhaps the simplest of all superchargers, the centrifugal can also be the most thermally efficient". [11]
In 1900, Gottlieb Daimler patented a Roots supercharger for a car's internal combustion engine. [7] In 1931, Roots Blower Company and Connersville Blower Company were bought by the International Derrick and Equipment Company to found Roots-Connersville Blower Company. The same year, the company began production of centrifugal compressors. [8]
An Eaton M62 Roots-type supercharger is visible at the front of this Ecotec LSJ engine in a 2006 Saturn Ion Red Line.. The Roots-type blower is simple and widely used. It can be more effective than alternative superchargers at developing positive intake manifold pressure (i.e., above atmospheric pressure) at low engine speeds, making it a popular choice for passenger automobile applications.
The JT15D was first run in 1967. Its use of a centrifugal compressor as the high-pressure stage in a turbofan engine was followed in 1970 by the Garrett TFE731. [1] The fan for the original JT15D-1 was aerodynamically scaled to 75 lb/sec using the much larger JT9D fan. [2] About 70% of the air passing through the fan goes down the bypass duct.
In 1935 Wright followed P&W's lead, and developed larger engines based on the Cyclone. The result was two designs, a 14-cylinder short stroke design of nearly 2,600 in 3 (43 L) displacement that would evolve into the Wright R-2600 Twin Cyclone , and a much larger 18-cylinder design that became the R-3350.

A map is created from compressor rig test results or predicted by a special computer program. Alternatively the map of a similar compressor can be suitably scaled. This article is an overview of compressor maps and their different applications and also has detailed explanations of maps for a fan and intermediate and high-pressure compressors ...
The U.S. auto safety regulator has opened two new probes into potential defects related to Ford vehicles. In separate releases issued Friday, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration ...
