2.2 SYSTEM DESCRIPTION, TURBOCHARGER WITH WASTEGATE

To make the engine more responsive at lower 

engine speeds, a turbocharger is used that 

produces a better charge ratio at these speeds. 

Without provision having been made for this, the 

boost pressure yielded by this turbocharger 

would be too high at maximum engine speeds. 

Use of a wastegate prevents this.

The boost pressure is measured by a diaphragm 

box (1) on the delivery side of the turbocharger. 

The diaphragm is pushed back against the spring 

pressure by the boost pressure. The linked 

control rod (2) is also pushed back. The control 

rod operates a valve in the turbine housing (3).

The valve in the turbine housing is opened when 

the maximum pre-set pressure has been 

reached.

When the valve is opened, some of the exhaust 

gases will be discharged directly to the exhaust 

pipe rather than being used to propel the turbine 

rotor of the turbocharger.
