Diesel engines are one of the earliest types of internal combustion engines used in vehicles. Known for their higher torque and compressive resistance, diesel engines are widely used in automobiles, especially in heavy vehicles. Since heavy vehicles require more power, a turbo-diesel engine came into the picture. A turbo-diesel engine offers fuel efficiency and generates higher torque and improves overall engine performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s dive a little deeper and discuss turbo-diesel engines, and their pros and cons in more detail. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Turbo-diesel Engines<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Turbo-diesel engine is simply a diesel engine fitted with a turbocharger. The turbocharger<\/a> increases engine efficiency and output by providing more air for combustion. The function of turbochargers in petrol and diesel engines is more or less similar, the only difference is fuel combustion.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How a Turbo-diesel Engine Works<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

To make turbo-diesel engines work, air enters the turbocharger through the intake manifold. The turbocharger contains a compressor which compresses air. After that, the compressed air enters into parts of the combustion chamber<\/a> where it is mixed with fuel. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The air-fuel mixture is then compressed and combusted inside the chamber. As a result of combustion, heat energy is generated that forces the piston downwards rotating the camshaft. Whereas, the excessive heat is directed towards the turbocharger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The heat energy rotates the turbine inside the turbocharger which is connected to an impeller. An impeller is a turbocharger component which aids in increasing the air intake. That said, the increased airflow fastens the combustion reaction, resulting in high power generation.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pros and Cons of Turbo-Diesel Engine<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Now that you are aware of the working of turbo-diesel engines, let\u2019s move towards the pros and cons of using cars with turbo-diesel engines. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
