  2. Turbocharger - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turbocharger

    Using a turbocharger spool valve to increase exhaust gas flow speed to the (twin-scroll) turbine; Using a butterfly valve to force exhaust gas through a smaller passage in the turbo inlet; Electric turbochargers [52] and hybrid turbochargers. A similar phenomenon that is often mistaken for turbo lag is the boost threshold. This is where the ...

  3. Turbo-diesel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turbo-diesel

    The first turbo-diesel production car was the Mercedes-Benz 300SD (W116) saloon, which was sold in the United States from mid-1978 and powered by the OM617 five-cylinder engine. [25] A year later, the Peugeot 604 D Turbo became the first turbo-diesel car to be sold in Europe. Turbo-diesel cars began to be widely built and sold in Europe during ...

  4. Turbo generator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turbo_generator

    Turbo generators are used for high shaft rotational speeds, typical of steam and gas turbines. The rotor of a turbo generator is a non-salient pole type usually with two poles. [5] The normal speed of a turbo generator is 1500 or 3000 rpm with four or two poles at 50 Hz (1800 or 3600 rpm with four or two poles at 60 Hz).

  5. Ford EcoBoost engine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_EcoBoost_engine

    The F-series EcoBoost 3.5L V6 uses two BorgWarner K03 turbochargers which can spin up to 170,000 rpm and provide up to 100 kPa (15 psi) of boost. The transverse EcoBoost 3.5L V6 uses two Garrett GT1549L turbochargers and provides up to 76 kPa (11 psi) of boost. The turbos are set up in a twin-turbo configuration.

  6. Turbojet - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turbojet

    Diagram of a typical gas turbine jet engine Frank Whittle Hans von Ohain. The turbojet is an airbreathing jet engine which is typically used in aircraft. It consists of a gas turbine with a propelling nozzle. The gas turbine has an air inlet which includes inlet guide vanes, a compressor, a combustion chamber, and a turbine (that drives the ...

  7. Variable-geometry turbocharger - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variable-geometry_turbocharger

    Variable-geometry turbochargers (VGTs), occasionally known as variable-nozzle turbochargers (VNTs), are a type of turbochargers, usually designed to allow the effective aspect ratio (A/R ratio) of the turbocharger to be altered as conditions change. This is done with the use of adjustable vanes located inside the turbine housing between the ...

  8. Miller cycle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miller_cycle

    The pressure-charger shown in the diagrams is a turbocharger, not a positive-displacement supercharger. The engine (whether four-stroke or two-stroke) has a conventional valve or port layout, but an additional "compression control valve" (CCV) is in the cylinder head.

  9. Twin-turbo - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twin-turbo

    In an internal combustion engine, twin-turbo is a layout in which two turbochargers are used to compress the intake fuel/air mixture (or intake air, in the case of a direct-injection engine). The most common layout features two identical or mirrored turbochargers in parallel, each processing half of a V engine 's produced exhaust through ...
