The dispute between fans of atmospheric engines and supporters of inflatable units seems to be eternal. Each “opposite” side brings its own arguments. And some of them are related to the coming crisis. The AvtoVzglyad portal decided to put together its own priority list, so it proposes to discuss five advantages that high-tech supercharged engines provide.

An engine with a pressurized system receives air which is compressed by a pressurized compressor at the inlet of the cylinders. Therefore, more air will enter each cylinder than that of the “aspirated”. And the more air, the more oxygen. This means that more fuel will burn, that is, the power will be higher. That’s the first advantage of a supercharged engine: more power. Supercharging can increase this by 20-90%. It all depends on the degree of forcing and the tasks imposed on the engineers.

And where there is power, there is torque. In a supercharged engine it is more stable. We already wrote above that with such an engine the turbine is busy filling the cylinders, and the electronics control the turbine. That is, it becomes possible to supply the necessary amount of air for efficient combustion of the mixture, as well as to allow the motor units to withstand all loads. As a result, the well-known “shelf” of the moment appears. Such features allow the engine to accelerate the car faster, which increases driving pleasure.

The third plus is that supercharged engines are not only more powerful, but also more economical. This is because the engine is more compact, ie lighter, and it also pulls excellently from the bottom. That is, at low speeds it has more modest energy losses and higher efficiency than the “aspirated”.

Continue. All engines are known to clog with soot over time, so they need to be periodically “fried”. That is, to drive on the highway at high speed for 30 minutes, for example. This is especially true for the atmosphere. But that applies to a lesser extent to the “turbo”. The engine is already sufficiently loaded, the combustion processes go faster, so the degree of pollution is much less. And since the engine is cleaner, you don’t have to spend money on various additives, which have now also increased in price.

Let’s talk about reliability, which is very important in a crisis. There is a lot of controversy here. Many are afraid of turbocharged engines, because the source of pressure systems is small. Usually this is 120,000 – 180,000 km, after which the turbine must be replaced or repaired. However, a mileage of 100,000 km is already considered reasonable. According to this figure on the odometer, many parts of the chassis need to be replaced and rust appears on the body. Therefore, the owners are in a hurry to get rid of such a machine. That is, it turns out that the turbine may never need attention, so the fears are overblown. And if the engine has a mechanical drive supercharger, it is generally very difficult to break. Unfortunately, this design is less and less used, but this is already marketing, which is not related to technology.
