What is a Turbo?
A turbo is a type of fan found in a vehicle's engines that makes the engine perform better and helps it expel exhaust gas.
The more fuel is put into the cylinder, the more torque and power are generated. But the use of fuel alone does not make sense. It is also necessary to put air to burn the fuel.
How the Turbo Works
The exhaust gas at high and hot pressure contains a lot of energy in it, and this energy is used to turn the air pump together with the turbine. The turbo is directly connected to the exhaust manifold. There is also a turbine connected to the propeller inside the turbo along with the exhaust gases on the other side. One part of the turbo is cold, while the other part is very hot. The cold side is used to compress the air it receives from the atmosphere and is transmitted to the intake manifold. Then it is sent to the cylinder and the explosion is ensured. After turning the turbine, the exhaust gases are connected to the remaining side of the exhaust system and the waste gases are discharged with the exhaust again. There are usually two thin lubrication pipes on the turbo. The discharge pipe on the lower side of the turbo is the inlet pipe on the upper side. With the help of this pipe, which is connected directly to the oil pan, the engine oil helps to lubricate the turbo with it.
Apart from these, there is a piece called Wastegate. This part also prevents excessive pressure from being transmitted into the engine and ensures that the vehicle's turbo does not explode. When the pressure rises, the Wastegate opens a valve, and when this valve is opened, the exhaust gas is ejected directly, rather than turning the turbine.
