blower - is based component of the mechanism of the boost vehicle.Its main function is to create high pressure in the intake tract of the engine.The name of the blower was because of the connection with the crankshaft and discharge air flow due to the pressure difference.Today we talk about the different types of these devices, as well as analyze the design of the mechanism.
types of superchargers
Currently the most popular devices for air injection are considered:
- Cam.
- Centrifugal.
- Screw.
Each of these mechanisms has its own design and structure, but their main function remains the same.
Few people know that the world has been developed so many types of blowers.Some of them are still installed on the vehicles, and some have gone down in history because of its precarious structure.
device
Each blower on the car has in its structure a special intercooler.Perhaps you've heard of such a device to import the main rods (striking example is the series of trucks "Volvo F12 Intercooler»).So, this device serves to cool the compressed air.During its compression dramatically lower pressures.Externally, the intercooler is a small radiator, which can be air or liquid.
blower design also requires a special drive by means of which the entire mechanism is connected to the crankshaft.The drive itself can be:
- straight.In this case the blower (at the WHA 's as well) fixed on a flange of the crankshaft.
- Chain.It uses a special metal chain.
- electric.This drive has a separate electric motor.
- cog.This gearbox cylindrical structure.
- belt.As used herein the drive belt.It can be a wedge, flat or serrated.
Application
Now blower installed car owners not only hands, but many manufacturers still on the assembly line.Share three main areas of application of this mechanism:
- supercharger installation as part of tuning to improve performance of the car.
- standard equipment on the assembly line.
- With the release of racing cars.
Self-installation of the device on the car - this is the most popular way among many motorists.Very often assemble their owners of domestic cars.On the assembly line the blower is installed very rarely.Is it mans that the sports version of the car.But on race cars this element is simply irreplaceable.In each of these cases, when installing the blower, a special kit containing all the necessary details for the excellent work of the whole mechanism.
In general, the scope of this element is very extensive, has repeatedly confirmed that many of the technical development and the variety of devices.
