What is a function of Turbo charger in diesel engine

Answer Posted / suraj chhetri

In exhaust gas turbo charging, the exhaust gas energy, which would normally be wasted, is used to drive a turbine. The exhaust gases are diverted so that they drive a small turbine made of a lightweight material; the turbine drives a compressor, which draws in filtered air from the air cleaner and feeds this at a much higher pressure to the engine. This enables more fuel to be birnt with a greayer mass of charged air, thus increasing engine power output. Better air aviliability enhances the combustion process, thus leading to lower fuel consumption and fewer emissions and lower enginr npise and reduced power loss at high altitude...
