Turbocharger
The compressor (001,
) of the turbocharger compresses the air to the applicable
pressure. The compressor is directly attached to the shaft of the turbine (005). The remaining
energy of the exhaust gas drives the turbine and thus the compressor.
The number and the size of the turbochargers is accurately tuned to the engine and the number
of cylinders.
