  2. OBJECTIVES After studying Chapter 21, the reader should be able to: • Prepare for ASE Engine Performance (A8) certification test content area “C” (Fuel, Air Induction, and Exhaust Systems Diagnosis and Repair). • Explain the difference between a turbocharger and a supercharger. • Describe how the boost levels are controlled. • Discuss maintenance procedures for turbochargers and superchargers.

  4. INTRODUCTIONAIRFLOW REQUIREMENTS • A four-stroke engine can take in only so much air, and how much fuel it needs for proper combustion depends on how much air it takes in. • Engineers calculate engine airflow requirements using three factors. • Engine displacement • Engine revolutions per minute (RPM) • Volumetric efficiency

  5. INTRODUCTIONVOLUMETRIC EFFICIENCY • Volumetric efficiency is a measure of how well an engine breathes. • It is a comparison of the actual volume of air-fuel mixture drawn into an engine to the theoretical maximum volume that could be drawn in. • Volumetric efficiency is expressed as a percentage.

  7. FIGURE 21–3 The more air and fuel that can be packed in a cylinder, the greater the density of the air-fuel charge. FORCED INDUCTION PRINCIPLES • The amount of force an air-fuel charge produces when it is ignited is largely a function of the charge density. • Charge density is a term used to define the amount of the air-fuel charge introduced into the cylinders. • Density is the mass of a substance in a given amount of space.

  8. FORCED INDUCTION PRINCIPLES • Forced induction systems use an air pump to pack a denser air-fuel charge into the cylinders. • Because the density of the air-fuel charge is greater, the following occurs. • The weight of the air-fuel charge is higher. • Power is increased because it is directly related to the weight of an air-fuel charge consumed within a given time period.

  11. SUPERCHARGERS • A supercharger is an engine-driven air pump that supplies more than the normal amount of air into the intake manifold and boosts engine torque and power. • A supercharger provides an instantaneous increase in power without any delay. • However, a supercharger, because it is driven by the engine, requires horsepower to operate and is not as efficient as a turbocharger.

  12. SUPERCHARGERS • TYPES OF SUPERCHARGERS • Roots type • Centrifugal supercharger • SUPERCHARGER BOOST CONTROL • SUPERCHARGER SERVICE

  13. FIGURE 21–5 A roots-type supercharger uses two lobes to force the air around the outside of the housing and into the intake manifold. SUPERCHARGERS

  16. Faster Moves More Air • One of the high-performance measures that can be used to increase horsepower on a supercharged engine is to install a smaller diameter pulley. The smaller the pulley diameter, the faster the supercharger will rotate and the higher the potential boost pressure will be. The change will require a shorter belt, and the extra boost could cause serious engine damage.

  17. TURBOCHARGERS • A turbocharger uses the heat of the exhaust to power a turbine wheel and therefore does not directly reduce engine power. • In a naturally aspirated engine, about half of the heat energy contained in the fuel goes out the exhaust system. • OPERATION • TURBOCHARGER OPERATION • TURBOCHARGER SIZE AND RESPONSE TIME

  18. FIGURE 21–8 A turbocharger uses some of the heat energy that would normally be wasted. FIGURE 21–9 A turbine wheel is turned by the expanding exhaust gases. TURBOCHARGERS

  19. FIGURE 21–10 The exhaust drives the turbine wheel on the left which is connected to the impeller wheel on the right through a shaft. The bushings that support the shaft are lubricated with engine oil under pressure. FIGURE 21–11 Engine oil is fed to the center of the turbocharger to lubricate the bushings and returns to the oil pan through a return line. TURBOCHARGERS

  20. BOOST CONTROL • BOOST CONTROL FACTORS • WASTEGATE • RELIEF VALVES • Compressor bypass valve (CBV) • Blow-off valve (BOV)

  22. FIGURE 21–13 A wastegate is used on many turbocharged engines to control maximum boost pressure. The wastegate is controlled by a computer-controlled valve. BOOST CONTROL

  23. FIGURE 21–14 A blow-off valve is used in some turbocharged systems to relieve boost pressure during deceleration. BOOST CONTROL

  24. If One Is Good, Two Are Better • A turbocharger uses the exhaust from the engine to spin a turbine, which is connected to an impeller inside a turbocharger. This impeller then forces air into the engine under pressure, higher than is normally achieved without a turbocharger. The more air that can be forced into an engine, the greater the power potential. A V-type engine has two exhaust manifolds and so two small turbochargers can be used to help force greater quantities of air into an engine.

  26. TURBOCHARGER FAILURES • SYMPTOMS OF FAILURE • PREVENTING TURBOCHARGER FAILURES

  27. NITROUS OXIDE • Nitrous oxide is used for racing or high-performance only, and is not used from the factory on any vehicle. • This system is a relatively inexpensive way to get additional power from an engine, but can cause serious engine damage if not used correctly or in excess amounts, or without proper precautions.

  28. NITROUS OXIDE • PRINCIPLES • ENGINE POWER ADDER • PRESSURE AND TEMPERATURE • WET AND DRY SYSTEM • ENGINE CHANGES NEEDED FOR N2O • SYSTEM INSTALLATION AND CALIBRATION

  31. Increase Bottle Pressure • To increase the pressure of the nitrous oxide in a bottle, an electrical warming blanket can be used. The higher the temperature, the higher the pressure and the greater the amount of N2O flow when energized.

  33. SUMMARY • Volumetric efficiency is a comparison of the actual volume of air-fuel mixture drawn into the engine to the theoretical maximum volume that can be drawn into the cylinder. • A supercharger operates from the engine by a drive belt and, although it consumes some engine power, it forces a greater amount of air into the cylinders for even more power. • There are two types of superchargers: roots-type and centrifugal. • A turbocharger uses the normally wasted heat energy of the exhaust to turn an impeller at high speed. The impeller is linked to a turbine wheel on the same shaft and is used to force air into the engine.

  34. SUMMARY • A bypass valve is used to control the boost pressure on most factory installed superchargers. • An intercooler is used on many turbocharged and some supercharged engines to reduce the temperature of air entering the engine for increased power. • A wastegate is used on most turbocharger systems to limit and control boost pressures, as well as a relief valve, to keep the speed of the turbine wheel from slowing down during engine deceleration. • Nitrous oxide injection can be used as a power adder, but only with extreme caution.
