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
I t’s time to change Safest car in the world....................... Research indicates that human behavior needs to be addressed to further reduce fatalities and injuries on the roads in the future. In particular, there are three key challenges of human behavior in cars: Speeding Intoxication Distraction These areas, which you can read more about below, constitute some of the key challenges we face in reaching the vision that is no one will be killed or seriously injured in a new Volvo car. Three challenges for road safety are below: Speeding Poor speed adaptation in certain traffic situations results in decreased control while driving. Speeding remains one of the main causes of traffic fatalities. Intoxication Driver intoxication represents one of the most severe dangers to traffic safety. Lack of focus and slow reaction times caused by intoxication can immensely affect driving capabilities and as a result lead to severe injuries or death. Distraction
