Turbocharging system — general information (Peugeot 206)

One of the parameters that determine engine power is cylinder filling. Using a turbocharging system allows air to be forced into the intake manifold under pressure, and this somewhat extends the cylinder filling cycle. Cylinder filling improves, and due to this, engine power increases significantly.

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