Turbocharging system — general information (Peugeot 206)

One of the parameters that determine the power of the engine is the filling of the cylinders. The use of a turbocharging system allows air to be forced into the intake manifold under pressure, and this somewhat prolongs the cycle of filling the cylinder with air. The filling of the cylinder is improved, and due to this, engine power is noticeably increased.

The main element of the turbocharging system is the exhaust gas turbocharger. The exhaust gases pass through the nozzle, due to which the gas flow rate increases, and act on the turbine wheel of the turbocharger, accelerating it to a high speed. The turbine wheel is fixed on the rotor, at the other end of which the compressor impeller is fixed. The high-speed rotating compressor impeller creates a charge air flow of clean air from the air cleaner into the intake manifold.
