Supercharging is the process of the increasing of the weight of the charged air
Exhaust gas from all cylinders into a common large manifold where pulse energy
is largely dissipated.
The gas flow will steady rather than intermittent and at a constant pressure at

Differential pressure shuts the inlet non-return valves as scavenge ports are
uncovered, and a pulse effect is given to cylinder
Advantages
Assist tangential swirl and ensure complete evacuation of remaining exhaust gas
Turbocharger Surging
When the discharge volute pressure exceed the pressure built up in the diffuser
and the impeller, it produces a back flow of air from discharge to suction and it is
characterized by noise and vibration of turbocharger.

Exhaust tuning means arranging the exhaust pipes with suitable length and
suitable valve timing to exhaust into the same pipe without disturbance.
When the exhaust valve of a diesel engine opens, the cylinder rapidly expands,
and gain velocity and kinetic energy as they pass into the exhaust pipe.
The kinetic energy of the mass of exhaust gas carries it along the exhaust pipe,
and causes a pressure build up ahead of the mass of gas and a partial vacuum
behind it.
This principle is used in a tuned exhaust system. The partial vacuum created by
exhaust from one cylinder is used to help exhaust expulsion from the following
cylinder.
Grouping of exhaust pipes depends upon the firing order, length & diameter of
exhaust pipe.
The effect of cooling reduces the scavenge air temperature and increase the
density of air delivered to the cylinders, thus increasing the power out put delivered
by the engine.
It can increase the output by about 10%.
Cooled scavenge air reduces cylinder and exhaust gas temperature at a given
power level and these temperatures thus remain within the acceptable limits.

pumps.

also gravity tank incase of failure of L.O supply. (Under main engine L.O system)
The bearings are separated from the blower and turbine by labyrinth seals.
These seals are sealed by air supply from the discharge of blower to prevent oil
entering the blower and to prevent contamination of the oil by the exhaust gas.
In case of defective labyrinth seals on blower side, oil is leaked into the air
system the cooling surfaces are covered with oil which are insulators and the
cooling efficiency will be reduced. Also there will be deposits on the blower and the
blower efficiency will be reduced.
In case of defective labyrinth seals on turbine side, the oil is leaked into the
exhaust side and there will be carbon deposits on the nozzle and turbine
blades. Reduce blower efficiency and fire in the exhaust piping. It will cause
turbocharger surging. Oil will contaminate with exhaust gas.
