1. Mechanical Supercharger
A mechanical supercharger uses a rotating mechanism to drive a compressor, compressing low-pressure air from the compressor into high-pressure air, thereby increasing the engine's air intake. The advantage of a mechanical supercharger is that it maximizes engine performance. However, its disadvantage is that it requires additional energy to operate and is prone to failure.
2. Turbocharger
A turbocharger, also known as a turbocharger, uses exhaust gas from the engine to draw in and compress air through a turbine, thereby increasing the engine's air intake. The advantage of a turbocharger is its fast response speed, which can increase engine power output. However, its disadvantage is that it requires a certain speed to function and is limited by factors such as engine exhaust volume and pressure.
3. Mechatronic Supercharger
A mechatronic supercharger combines a mechanical supercharger with electronic control technology to achieve more precise boost pressure control. Compared to purely mechanical superchargers, mechatronic superchargers offer advantages such as fast response and high energy efficiency. Compared to purely electronic superchargers, they have the advantages of a simpler structure and lower cost. However, mechatronic superchargers also have some drawbacks, such as a slightly higher failure rate and high maintenance costs.
IV. Electronic Supercharger
Electronic superchargers use electronic control technology to precisely control engine intake volume and pressure, thereby improving engine performance. While electronic superchargers offer advantages such as fast response and high efficiency, they have significant limitations and are primarily used in small engines and light vehicles.
