Turbo Charger Types – VGT, Twin Turbo, Twin-Scroll, Sequential, E-Turbos!

Turbocharging technology has been evolving for a long time now. The traditional objective of a turbocharger is to provide a boost for quick acceleration. This is done because a lot of burnt air-fuel mixture comes out of the exhaust side of the cylinder of your car. Typically, the efficiency at which a petrol internal combustion engine works is a mere 25-30%. Around 30-35% of the energy of your fuel is lost in the form of heat. The other 35% of the energy in the exhaust gases can be reused to improve the efficiency of an ICE. This is done by attaching a turbocharger at the exhaust end of the cylinder. The turbocharger consists of a turbine and a compressor mounted on the same shaft. Now, when the exhaust gases with energy come there, they help in providing force to make the turbine rotate. The rotating turbine rotates the compressor with it. The compressor allows the engine to suck in more air into the cylinder. The ECU of the car senses the extra air from the air-flow sensors and…
