Turbocharger Operation
• Exhaust gases exit the cylinder and flow through the
exhaust system to the turbocharger turbine inlet
• The exhaust gas flow provides turbine wheel rotation
and exits through the turbine housing discharge port
and tailpipe
• The turbine wheel drives the compressor wheel which
is connected by a common shaft
• During normal operation the turbocharger can reach
speeds in excess of 100,000 RPM
