Difference Between Supercharger and Turbocharger:
Supercharger:
- Supercharger is a forced induction system.
- This type of device works on the power of the engine by supplying the required amount of air into the cylinder.
- Supercharger can improve the burning of fuel in the combustion chamber.
- Supercharger gets directly connected to the engine with the help of belts, gears, etc.
- Using a supercharger can decrease the knocking.
- This is more reliable to use.
- Supercharger can increase mechanical efficiency.
- It required less maintenance than a turbocharger.
- This is a costly process to install an engine.
- Supercharger is a less complex device.
- Supercharger develops more noise at the time of operation.
- Overall efficiency gets decreased.
- The power output can be increased by this device.
- It can also improve the torque produced by the engine.
- Due to complete burning of fuel emissions can be decreased.
Turbocharger:
- Turbocharger is also a type of forced induction system.
- A Turbocharged engine develops power through exhaust emissions.
- Turbocharger has no direct connection with the engine.
- This type of device can cause to more knocking.
- A Turbocharger is less reliable to use.
- Mechanical efficiency can be decreased.
- Turbocharger required more maintenance.
- This is not a costly method to install.
- This is a complex method.
- Noise developed through this is less.
- Efficiency can be increased by using this device.
- Power obtained is more.
- It improves the torque at higher speeds.
