Turbocharger & Spares

A turbocharger is a device used in internal combustion engines to increase the efficiency and power output by forcing extra compressed air into the combustion chamber. It consists of a turbine and a compressor connected by a shaft.

Here are some key components and spares related to turbochargers:

1. Turbine Housing: The outer casing that contains the turbine wheel and directs exhaust gases onto the turbine blades.

2. Compressor Housing: Encloses the compressor wheel and directs compressed air into the engine intake manifold.

3. Turbine Wheel: Connected to the exhaust stream, it spins to drive the compressor wheel.

4. Compressor Wheel: Draws in and compresses ambient air, which is then forced into the engine.

5. Center Housing and Rotating Assembly (CHRA): Core assembly that houses the turbine and compressor wheels, as well as the shaft and bearings.

6. Wastegate: Controls the boost pressure by diverting exhaust gases away from the turbine wheel.

7. Actuators and Control Systems: Mechanisms that regulate the operation of the turbocharger, such as wastegate actuators and electronic boost controllers.

8. Seals and Bearings: Critical for preventing oil leakage and ensuring smooth operation of the rotating assembly.

9. Gaskets and O-rings: Seals that prevent air and exhaust leaks between various components.

10. Oil and Water Lines: Provide lubrication and cooling to the turbocharger components.
