TURBOCHARGERS<br />

Although there are several significantly different types <strong>of</strong> mechanical<br />

superchargers, exhaust-driven turbochargers used in automotive applications<br />

use the same basic design layout with differences in component<br />

design.<br />

Turbochargers consist <strong>of</strong> a centrifugal compressor with radial outflow<br />

through either avaneless or vaned diffuser housing (Fig. 14). The diffuser<br />

housing usually has a tapered constant-velocity volute collector that leads to<br />

a diffusing outlet duct that routes the higher-pressure air to the engine<br />

cylinders. The turbocharger turbine uses a centripetal radial-inflow exhaustgas<br />

turbine, surrounded by a vaneless or vaned turbine housing connected to<br />

the exhaust manifold. The compressor and turbine wheels are mounted on a<br />
