         How does Super Charger Work

1) what are super charger?

A supercharger is an air compressor that increases the pressure of air supplied to an internal combustion engine. This aids in higher power output as the engine gets more oxygen in each of its intake cycles and helps it to burn more fuel.

2) How Super Charger Works?

A supercharger works by increasing an engine's power and torque. Supercharger are powered by mechanical energy for example by connection to an engine's

Crankshaft .

(1) Air filter.

(2)Air intake pipe.

(3) Intake manifold.

The Supercharger sits atop the intake manifold. The intake manifold channels air from the Supercharger unit to individual cylinder.

(4) Supercharger housing

(5)Gear drive system

Opposing gears translate power to the rotors.

(6)Rotors and lobes 

Spinning rotors pump air through the Supercharger.The long fins or ridges that span the length of the rotors shaft are called lobes.

(7) Discharge port 

Air exists the Supercharger through a specially shaped discharge port at the bottom of the housing.

(8) Pulley

Pulley diametre and construction is an easily accessible way to alter Supercharger performance characteristics.

(9) Drive Belt

The drive belt supplies power to the Supercharger from the crankshaft.

3) Types of Supercharger.

1)Screw - Type Supercharger

2) Centrifugal Supercharger

3) Roots-Type Supercharger

4) Electric Supercharger

3)who invented first Supercharged car 

Gottlieb Daimler received a German patent for supercharging an internal combustion engine in 1885.

4)Usage in cars  

The world's first series-produced cars with superchargers were the 1.6 litre Mercedes 6/25 hp and 2.6 litre Mercedes 10/40 hp, both of which began production in 1923.

They were marketed as Kompressor models, a term which was used for various models until 2012.

*Advantages*

1)Higher power output.

2)Greater induction of charge mass.

3)Better atomization of fuel.

4)Better mixing of fuel and air.

5)Better scavenging products.

6)Better torque characteristics over whole range.

7)Quick acceleration of vehicle.

8) Complete and smooth combustion.

*Disadvantage*

1)Increased detonation tendency in SI             engines.

2)Increased thermal stress.

3)Increased heat loss due to increased             turbulence.

4)Increased gas loading.

5)Increased cooling requirements of the         engine.

6)Uses engine power .

7) Less efficiency.

8) Potential high heat.
