The Power of Turbochargers: Boosting Performance and Efficiency

Introduction In the world of internal combustion engines, turbochargers have become a popular method of increasing power and efficiency.  This gas compressor, often referred to simply as a turbo, is a form of forced induction that forces air into the engine, resulting in more power for a given displacement.  In this blog, we will explore the inner workings of turbochargers and their impact on engine performance. The Components of a Turbocharger At its most basic level, a turbocharger consists of three major components: the turbine, the compressor, and the bearing system that supports the turbine shaft connecting the turbine and compressor wheels.  The turbine is located on the hot side of the turbocharger and is bolted onto the engine's exhaust manifold.  As the engine runs, the exhaust gases pass through the turbine, spinning a fan called the turbine wheel. This spinning motion converts heat and pressure into rotational force, which in turn spins the compressor wheel.  The compres

What You Should Know About Using Natural Gas (CNG) Vehicles

Will I get the Same Fuel Mileage and Vehicle Performance? Against prevalent attitudes, methane conveys more British Thermal Units (BTUs) than gas. The energy substance of gas is subject to the season and oxygenated fuel added substances like methyl tertiary-butyl ether (MBTE) [used to build the oxygen levels] that lessen discharges. BTU levels for gasoline (Petrol) 114,500 for a late spring gallon of gas w/no added substances 112,500 for a colder time of year gallon of gas w/no added substances 112,000 for summer mixes with MTBE 110,210 for summer mixes with ethanol 112,210 for winter mixes with ethanol BTU levels for gaseous petrol 114,000 all year BTU levels for diesel 129,500 The reasonable champ and most costly is a diesel with 129,500 BTUs. Since filling stations don't need to publicize that they are utilizing a 10% ethanol blend in their fuel, most don't; notwithstanding, most stations administer this blend. What is the Difference Between Dedi
