Turbochargers and Governors

When airflow collapse occurs in a turbocharger, back scavenging occurs through the diffuser and impeller blades inside the Blower, causing a surge, or a large oscillating airflow, to vibrate the turbocompressor impeller and its blades.

To ensure the optimal performance of a turbocharger, proper lubrication and maintenance of the bearings are essential. Bearing friction is one of the leading causes of energy loss in turbochargers and should be kept as low as possible to maintain efficiency.

In this blog post, we’ll discuss why cleaning the turbocharger is crucial, the steps involved in cleaning both the blower and turbine sides, and some best practices to follow. We’ll also touch on some common issues that can arise with turbochargers and how to address them.
