How to judge whether a turbocharger is good or bad?
1. Check whether the turbocharger trademark logo is complete. The outer packaging of authentic products is of good quality, with clear writing on the box and bright overprinting colors. The packaging boxes should be marked with the product name, specifications, model, quantity, registered tradema...Read more -
What is the purpose of balancing a CHRA/CORE?
A recurring inquiry pertains to the equilibrium of CHRA (Center Housing Rotating Assembly) units and the variations in balance graphs among different Vibration Sorting Rig (VSR) machines. This issue often raises concerns among our clientele. When they receive a balanced CHRA from SHOUYUAN and att...Read more -
A Checklist for Inspecting Your Turbocharger
Maintaining the health of your turbocharger is crucial for ensuring optimal vehicle performance. Inspecting it regularly is the best way to determine whether the turbo is in good condition or not. To do so, follow this checklist and discover any issues affecting your tur...Read more -
Oil leakage often occurs during the operation of the turbocharger
The causes of oil leakage are introduced as follows: Currently, turbochargers for various diesel engine applications generally adopt a fully floating bearing structure. When the rotor shaft rotates at high speed, the lubricating oil with a pressure of 250 to 400MPa fills these gaps, causing the f...Read more -
What’s the difference between an internal or external wastegate?
A Wastegate serves as a turbine bypass valve, redirecting a portion of exhaust gas away from the turbine, which limits the power delivered to the compressor. This action controls turbo speed and compressor boost. Wastegates can be either “internal” or “external.” External ...Read more -
How Frequently Should You Replace Your Turbocharger?
The purpose of a turbocharger is to compress more air, packing oxygen molecules closely together and adding more fuel to the engine. As a result, it gives a vehicle more power and torque. However, when your turbocharger is starting to show signs of wear and lacking performance, it’s time to consi...Read more -
How to ensure a successful turbocharger replacement?
1. Ensure the integrity of the engine lubrication system, including the lubricating oil pump and the entire engine, and ensure that all channels and pipelines are clear so that they can generate and maintain the required lubricating oil flow and pressure. 2. Ensure that the lubricating oil inlet ...Read more -
Different Types of Turbochargers
Turbochargers come in six main designs, each offering unique advantages and drawbacks. Single turbo - This configuration is commonly found in inline engines due to the positioning of exhaust ports on a single side. It can match or exceed the boost capabilities of a twin-turbo setup, albeit at the...Read more -
Why turbochargers are becoming increasingly important?
The production of turbochargers is becoming more and more demanding, which is related to the general trend of energy saving and emission reduction in automobiles: the displacement of many internal combustion engines is decreasing, but the compression of turbochargers can keep performance consiste...Read more -
History of turbocharging technology
The emergence of turbocharging technology has a history of over 100 years now, while mechanical turbocharging is even earlier. Early mechanical turbocharging technology was mainly used for mine ventilation and industrial boiler intake. Turbocharging was a technology used in airplanes during World...Read more -
What distinguishes water-cooled and air-cooled bearing housings?
Bearing housings are crucial components in machinery, providing support and protection to bearings to ensure their efficient operations. One of the critical considerations when designing a bearing housing is how to control its operating temperature. Excessive heat can lead to bearing failure and ...Read more -
What impact does the size of the compressor wheels have on the behavior of the turbo?
The size of the compressor wheel is decisive to avoid one of the defects of the turbo, its delay. The turbo lag is motivated by the amount of mass that rotates and the moment of inertia that it generates depending on its size and shape, the smaller the size of the compressor wheel and the less w...Read more
