inlet air compressor for an internal combustion engine (either Otto or Diesel cycle), powered from the exhaust air
A performance enhancing device fitted to engines which use exhaust gases to drive gas turbines which force clean, cool air into the engine allowing increased power output from an engine
a system that makes a vehicle more powerful by using a turbine to force air and petrol into the engine under increased pressure (turbo- (from turbine) + -charger (as in supercharger))
Air pump designed to put more air into engine cylinders; pump is driven by the exhaust heat (22)
A type of supercharger that uses a turbine to drive a compressor The turbine, driven by hot gases in the exhaust manifold spins the compressor The compressor increases the intake air density, and combined with additional fuel, produces more power
Rotary compressor or pump that pressurizes engine intake air It is driven by the flow of exhaust gases The increased pressure forces more air into the cylinder than it could normally draw, allowing the engine to burn more fuel and in turn produce more power
