  2. Turbocharger - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turbocharger

    Superchargers do not suffer from turbo lag because the compressor mechanism is driven directly by the engine. Methods to reduce turbo lag include: [citation needed] Lowering the rotational inertia of the turbocharger by using lower radius parts and ceramic and other lighter materials; Changing the turbine's aspect ratio (A/R ratio)

  3. Supercharger - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supercharger

    While superchargers were highly used in the mid-1900s and during WWII, they have largely fallen out of use in modern piston-driven aircraft. This can largely be attributed to the higher temperature and lighter alloys that make turbochargers more efficient than superchargers, as well as the lower maintenance due to less moving parts. [31]

  4. Twincharger - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twincharger

    A mechanically driven supercharger offers exceptional response and low-rpm performance, as it does not rely on pressurization of the exhaust manifold (assuming that it is a positive-displacement design, such as a Roots-type or twin-screw, as opposed to a centrifugal supercharger, which does not provide substantial boost in the lower rpm range), but is less efficient than a turbocharger due to ...

  5. Forced induction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forced_induction

    A turbocharger for a car engine A supercharger (on top of a dark-grey inlet manifold) for a car engine. In an internal combustion engine, forced induction is where turbocharging or supercharging is used to increase the density of the intake air. Engines without forced induction are classified as naturally aspirated. [1]

  6. Roots blower - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roots_blower

    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.

  7. Centrifugal-type supercharger - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centrifugal-type_supercharger

    Distancing the supercharger from the engine via a mounting bracket greatly reduces heat transfer from the engine to the supercharger during operation. By comparison, a twin screw or roots blower which is nested in the center (valley) of the engine, will absorb heat (heat soak) during operation due to thermal transfer from the engine block and ...

    Turbocharger and supercharger. In the S60 III and V60 II, and for all other models from and including model year 2020, it delivers 310 PS (228 kW; 306 hp) at 5700 rpm and 400 N⋅m (300 lb⋅ft) of torque in the range of 2200–5100 rpm. Turbocharger and supercharger. This engine is only available with the AW TG-81SC gearbox.

  9. Miller cycle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miller_cycle

    The supercharger typically will need to be of the positive-displacement (Roots or screw) type due to its ability to produce boost at relatively low engine speeds. Otherwise, low-speed power will suffer. Alternatively, a turbocharger can be used for greater efficiency, if low-speed operation is not required, or supplemented with electric motors.
