Turbocharging: Key technology for high-performance engines

Posted on January 01, 2014 by Dr. Johannes Kech, Ronald Hegner, Tobias Männle

The performance of an internal combustion engine can be increased by adding turbocharging. A turbocharger compresses the air so that more oxygen flows into the combustion chamber. In this way, more fuel is burned and the power output of the engine increases accordingly. The turbocharger is driven by exhaust gas, which makes turbocharged diesel engines very efficient. mtu develops this key technology for high-performance engines in-house.
