In Volume 17 of the KRAFTHAND Practical Knowhow series, Mario Köhler describes the various technologies, the operating principles and the most frequent causes of damage to modern turbochargers. He also illustrates turbocharger technology in both diesel and gasoline engines.
Initially, Köhler outlines the history of the turbocharger and then continues with the latest technology. He describes various types and components. He takes a detailed look at turbos with wastegates, twin-scroll turbos and VTG turbos, for instance, and also describes various multistage charging variants.
Another chapter relates to the electrical compressor and VTG turbo for gasoline engines.
In the second part of the brochure, Köhler describes common turbocharger failures, shows pictures of damages and takes a look at the potential effects. Another chapter is devoted to the causes of turbocharger failures. Köhler provides workshop experts with tips and tricks and takes a look at fault diagnosis.
