WHY TURBO SUPER CHARGER

IS USED IN DIESEL
LOCOMOTIVE
A turbocharger on a diesel locomotive, is a device used to
generate more horsepower from the locomotives diesel
engine, also known as the prime mover. It uses the engines
hot exhaust gases to drive a compressor which forces more
air into the intake manifold.
The objective of a turbocharger is to improve an engines
volumetric efficiency by increasing density of the intake
gas(usually air) allowing more power per engine cycle. The
power needed to spin the centrifugal compressor is derived
from the kinetic energy of the engines exhaust gases.

SUGGESTIONS
Looking at the difference between the two
the supercharger will take its power from the crankshaft
whereas the turbocharger will draw power from exhaust
gases that result from combustion. Superchargers will
spin with speeds up to 50,000 RPM. The turbocharger is
not connected to the engine and can spin much faster.
A supercharger doesn't work off the exhaust gas, it is
attached to your engine and spins with the crankshaft.
When the crankshaft spins the supercharger, it forces air
into the motor. The turbo is more efficient as it doesn't
require engine power to spin it, so it makes more power
per boost. The turbocharger is not connected to the
engine and can spin much faster. Both will produce
large amounts of power. Superchargers can deliver their
boost at lower RPMs then a turbocharger, whereas
the turbocharger works best at high engine speeds.
Turbochargers are quieter and superchargers are more
reliable.
