Turbocharger
A turbocharger increases the temperature and the density of the air that is sent to the engine cylinder. This condition causes a lower temperature of ignition to develop earlier in the compression stroke. The compression stroke is also timed in a more accurate way with the fuel injection. Surplus air lowers the temperature of combustion. This surplus air also provides internal cooling.A turbocharger improves the following aspects of engine performance:
Power output is increased.
Engine torque is increased.
Engine efficiency is increased.

Components of a turbocharger (typical example)
(1) Air intake
(2) Compressor housing
(3) Compressor wheel
(4) Bearing
(5) Oil inlet port
(6) Bearing
(7) Turbine housing
(8) Turbine wheel
(9) Exhaust outlet
(10) Oil outlet port
(11) Exhaust inletA turbocharger is installed between the exhaust and intake manifolds. The turbocharger is driven by exhaust gases which flow through the exhaust inlet (11). The energy of the exhaust gas turns the turbine wheel (8). Then, the exhaust gas flows out of the turbine housing (7) through the exhaust outlet (9).Turbine wheel (8) and compressor wheel (3) are installed on the same shaft. Therefore, turbine wheel (8) and compressor wheel (3) rotate at the same rpm. The compressor wheel is enclosed by compressor housing (2). The compressor wheel compresses the intake air. The intake air flows into the engine cylinders through the inlet valves of the cylinders.The oil from the main gallery of the cylinder block flows through the oil inlet port (5) to lubricate the turbocharger bearings (4) and (6). The pressurized oil passes through the bearing housing of the turbocharger. The oil is returned through the oil outlet port (10) to the oil pan.The turbocharger has a wastegate. The wastegate is controlled by the boost pressure. This allows some of the exhaust gases to bypass the turbine wheel at higher engine speeds. The wastegate is a type of flapper valve that automatically opens at a preset level of boost pressure to allow exhaust gas to flow around the turbine. The wastegate allows the design of the turbocharger to be more effective at lower engine speeds.NOx Reduction System (NRS)
Illustration 2 g06439566
Typical example
The NOx Reduction System (NRS) operates with the transfer of the hot exhaust gas from the exhaust manifold to the exhaust gas valve (NRS) (2).The poppet valve that is located in the exhaust gas valve (NRS) has one main function. The main function is to control the amount of exhaust gas entering the inlet side of the engine. The electronically controlled valve is electronically actuated. The valve is controlled by the Electronic Control Module (ECM).The electronically controlled valve (2) opens to allow the flow of cooled exhaust gas from the exhaust gas cooler (3) to mix with the air flow from the inlet. The mixing of the cooled exhaust gas and the air flow from the inlet reduces the oxygen content of the gas mixture. This results in a lower combustion temperature, so decreases the production of NOx.In some instances, the engine will need to use the electronically controlled exhaust gas valve (2) and the inlet gas throttle valve (1) for the NOx Reduction System (NRS) to generate the required flow of exhaust gas. The inlet gas throttle valve (1) is controlled by the Electronic Control Module (ECM).Exhaust gases from the exhaust manifold enter the inlet of the turbocharger to turn the turbocharger turbine wheel. The turbine wheel is connected to a shaft that rotates. The exhaust gases pass from the turbocharger through the following components: exhaust outlet, Clean Emissions Module (CEM), and the exhaust pipe.Cylinder Head And Valves

(10) Exhaust valve
(11) Inlet valveThe valves and the rocker shaft assembly control the flow of air into the cylinders and out of the cylinders during engine operation. The cylinder head assembly has two valves for each cylinder. Each valve has one valve spring (3). The ports for inlet valve (11) and exhaust valve (10) are on the left side of the cylinder head.The valve moves along a steel valve guide (5).The inlet valve and the exhaust valve are opened and closed by the rotation and movement of the following components:
Crankshaft
Idler gear
Camshaft
Valve lifters
Pushrods
Rocker arms
Valve springsThe camshaft gear is driven by the idler gear. The camshaft gear, the idler gear, and the crankshaft gear are timed together. When the camshaft turns, the valve lifters are moved up and down. The pushrods move the rocker arms. The rocker arms make the inlet valves and the exhaust valves open and close. This is in sequence with the firing order of the engine. The valve springs force the valves back to the closed position.Crankcase Breather
The crankcase breather gases are part of the engines measured emissions output. Any tampering with the breather system could invalidate the engines emissions compliance.
The engine has a low-pressure crankcase breather system installed.The crankcase gas is routed through an external pipe from the valve mechanism cover to the Oil Mist Separator (OMS). This uses a filter element to separate the oil vapor from the blow-by gases. The gas exits the filter. The gas is then piped into the air inlet hose. The gas then flows into the turbocharger before entering the engine again through the inlet manifold.
