Prashant.N.Pakale, S.U.Patel

Abstract: There are many inventions aimed at increasing the performance of IC engines. So most engines nowdays are employed with turbocharger and supercharger. It is known that the power outputs of an engine increases with the increase in amount of air or mixture in the cylinder and supercharger plays an important role in increasing the amount or air. Turbochargers are used throughout the automotive industry as they can enhance the output of an internal combustion (IC) engine without the need to increase its cylinder capacity. The emphasis today is to provide a feasible engineering solution to manufacturing economics and “Greener” road vehicles. It is because of these reasons that superchargers and turbochargers are now becoming more and more popular in automobile applications. The aim of this paper is to provide a review on the techniques used in supercharging and turbocharging to increase the engine output and reduce the exhaust emission levels.
