 INTRODUCTION
• Power output of an engine depends on ;
1. Amount of air induced into the cylinder.
2. speed of the engine.
3. Thermal efficiency of engine..etc

• The best method to increase power output is to increase the mean effective pressure,
and it can be achieved by supplying air fuel mixture at a pressure higher than
atmospheric pressure.
• Methode of supplying air or air- fuel at a pressure higher than the usual suction
pressure is called supercharging and the equipment used for this purpose is called
super charger.
 SUPERCHARGING

 A supercharger is an equipment that

compresses the air being delivered to an
engine, allowing the combustion
chamber to be overfilled without
enlarging the space.

 The higher concentration of oxygen

provided by a super- charger is matched
with a larger amount of fuel from the fuel
injectors thus boosting the power of the
engine.
 WHY SUPERCHARGER ?
Increases the power of an engine.
Increases the torque produced.
An efficiently working supercharger can achieve the same speed in
one third time.
Necessary in aero-planes as they have less oxygen at high altitudes.
Ensures complete combustion of the fuel.
Reduces pollution to some extent.
 TYPES OF SUPER CHARGERS

• If supercharger is driven by a engine crank shaft, then it’s a mechanically

driven supercharger and those superchargers which are driven by gas turbines
using power of engine exhaust gas are called as turbochargers.

• superchargers are classified into:

1 .centrifugal type
2 .roots type
3 .vane type
 CENTRIFUGAL TYPE
 A centrifugal supercharger works by
powering an impeller at very high
speeds to quickly draw air into a small
compressor housing.

 Impeller speeds can reach ‘50,000 to

60,000 RPM’.
 Centrifugal superchargers are the most
efficient and the most common
induction systems.

 They are small, lightweight and

attachable to the front of the engine.
