Exhaust gases exit the turbocharger The energy in the exhaust The turbines are gases turns a turbine before connected by a leaving the turbocharger common shaft Air is compressed by the intake turbine and forced into the cylinder at pressure Fresh air is sucked into the turbocharger More air enters the cylinder. The heavier charge means more diesel can be injected and so the same size cylinder produces greater power. 20 How a turbocharger works. 21 A glow plug. The idea of including a glow plug is to preheat the cylinder so that smooth combustion can take place inside the cylinder.

As you compress the air in the cylinder to pump up your tires, the cylinder wall begins to feel warm. The heat generated by the compression of the charge, is what is used to ignite the mixture in the cylinder, as opposed to a “spark plug” in a spark ignition engine. 1 (a) Cutaway common rail diesel engine (longitudinal cross section). ) (b) Cutaway common rail diesel engine (transverse cross section).
