Superchargers come in a variety of types. Based on their operating principles and application scenarios, they can be broadly categorized as follows:
1. Turbocharger: Primarily used in automobile and aircraft engines, they increase engine power and efficiency by raising intake air pressure. Turbochargers utilize exhaust gas from the engine to drive a turbine, which in turn drives a compressor, forcing more air into the engine, thereby improving combustion efficiency and power output.
2. Air Supercharger: This type of supercharger increases air pressure without changing its volume. It is commonly used in applications such as pneumatic tools, painting, and tire inflation. Air superchargers make it easy to quickly generate and use high-pressure gas.
3. Liquid Supercharger: Primarily used to increase the pressure of liquids, such as in water and oil pumps. By converting low-pressure liquids into high-pressure output, they meet requirements for long-distance transportation, high-pressure spraying, and cleaning.
