What destroys your turbocharger?

SHOU YUAN is the Aftermarket turbocharger brand, the leading professional turbocharger supplier and turbocharger parts such as Turbocharger Cartridge,repair kit in China.With brand-new, automotive replacement engine turbochargers, your vehicle can operate at peak performance.Turbochargers are built to last the lifetime of a vehicle. However, lack of maintenance, hazardous driving or a single component failure, could have a harmful influence on your turbocharger. In this post, we will look at the most common reasons that your turbocharger could fail.

Damage caused by foreign objects

Turbochargers are used in various applications, including petrol and diesel engine turbocharger.Any object, no matter how small, that enters the turbochargers can damage it enough to cause incorrect performance or immediate failure. To prevent this type of failure, the manufacturer will design and install an air filter as protection against the entry of foreign objects into the turbocharger. In the event that an object such as a piston ring part enters the turbocharger from the engine side, it will bypass any filters installed. If this happens, the engine will either have an immediate decrease in power or stop completely. The only solution in this scenario is to replace the turbocharger.

Wear of the bearing

The radial bearing supports lateral shaft movement of the turbocharger. The axial bearing supports longitudinal shaft movement. Both bearings are highly dependent on oil supply. Insufficient or poor oil quality (contaminants in the oil) can cause turbocharger failure in seconds.

Heat Soak

Turbochargers operating in high-temperature environments present unique challenges during operation.One inevitable action during driving is turning off the engine at some point.This occasionally happens after the engine has been operating at high load, causing all components to become excessively hot. These ‘hot shutdowns’, which refer to sudden engine shutdowns after periods of high engine load, also pose a potential risk for turbocharger failure.
