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
Electric vehicle (EV) battery safety is of utmost importance due to the potential hazards associated with high-voltage systems and the energy storage capacity of these batteries. Here are some key aspects of EV battery safety: Battery Design and Engineering : EV manufacturers design batteries with safety in mind. This includes using materials that are resistant to thermal runaway (a chain reaction of battery cell failures), incorporating cooling systems to manage heat, and implementing protective measures to prevent overcharging and over discharging. Thermal Management : Thermal management systems are crucial to regulating the temperature of the battery. Keeping the battery within an optimal temperature range helps prevent overheating, thermal runaway, and potential fires. Battery Management System (BMS) : The BMS is responsible for monitoring and managing the state of charge, state of health, and temperature of individual cells within the battery pack. It helps prevent ove
