Power and performance of vehicles are two of the essential attributes that every auto manufacturer constantly strives to improve. Latest car models not only provide ergonomics and safety features but also, the higher horsepower and effective engine efficiency. Car turbochargers<\/a> and superchargers help in boosting the engine power and torque by increasing the air supply. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here’s a complete guide on how a supercharger works, its types and advantages:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

WHAT IS A SUPERCHARGER?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A car supercharger increases the air intake through compression. In this way, the internal combustion engine receives a rich supply of air and fuel resulting in a powerful combustion process. This process increases the engine torque<\/a> and power. Turbocharger and supercharger<\/a> are different from each other because exhaust gases drive the turbine to power the engine in turbochargers, whereas the car supercharger uses the power from the mechanical belt or chain to compress air.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

WHAT DOES A CAR SUPERCHARGER<\/strong> DO?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Combustion engine requires more fuel to generate more power. A car supercharger uses crankshaft by means of belt or chain drive to generate more power for air intake. It increases the volume of air which automatically demands more fuel to maintain the air-fuel ratio. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Therefore, the main function of a supercharger is to intake more air and burn more fuel to produce a greater power output. Moreover, following are different construction methods that define the working principle of supercharger:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
