<p>The turbocharger is widely used in petrol engine now. We sometimes will have questions does the diesel engine is adapt with the turbocharger? Let`s share the knowledge.</p>
<p>We can use a turbocharger in petrol as well as a diesel engine. However, the function of turbocharger changes in the two cases and hence its size. Diesel and petrol engines have some key differences – which in turn, mean that the turbochargers need to be designed to work in slightly different ways.</p>
<p>Diesel engine</p>
<p>As a fuel, diesel isn’t as combustible as petrol, which means that the air in the combustion chamber of diesel engines needs to be at a higher pressure to ignite. These higher pressures mean that diesel engines need to be stronger than their petrol engine counterparts, which means using bigger, heavier components. Bigger, heavier components are hard to rotate at high speeds, which means that diesel engines typically operate at much lower and narrower RPM band than their petrol counterparts. This lower RPM makes it more difficult for a diesel engine to draw in enough air into the combustion chambers. Diesel also burns at a lower temperature to petrol, meaning that it creates more exhaust gases.</p>
<p>Petrol engine</p>
<p>Petrol is far more combustible than diesel –it ignites more easily and burns much hotter, so the pressures inside the combustion chambers don’t need to be as high. This means that the components can be smaller and that the engine can operate at a much higher and wider RPM band. Because petrol engines operate at higher RPMs, and petrol burns at a higher temperature than diesel, petrol engines tend to run hotter than diesels.</p>
