4. Turbocharger technology and engine installation
We will limit ourselves to specifying particular constructive features, including specific materials, bearing and sealing systems, and balancing requirements for vibration and noise reduction.
4.1 Materials
The turbine wheel is subject to creep and fracture under the effect of centrifugal forces due to rotational speed, and must therefore have high mechanical properties at high temperatures. Turbine blades are excited to vibrate; it is generally accepted that the risk of...
