Introduction
Amount of air inducted per unit time can be increased by: Increasing density, increasing speed The method of increasing the inlet air density called supercharging.

Objectives Of Supercharging.
Increase power to weight & bulk. important for aircraft, marine & automobile application. Compensate for loss of power due to high altitude. Obtain more power from an existing engine.

Supercharging Of Spark Ignition Engines.


Used only for aircraft & racing car engines. Increase volumetric efficiency, intake temp. Increase in pressure & temp. reduces ignition delay. Increase tendency to detonate & preignition. Use of lower compression ratio. Greater fuel consumption, poor fuel economy.

Supercharging Of C. I. Engines.
Increase in pressure & temp. reduces ignition delay. Better, quiter & smoother combustion. Possible to use lower air-fuel ratio, lower temp. reduces smoke. Degree of supercharging is limited by thermal & mechanical load on engine.

Supercharging Limits
Limited by knock, thermal, & mechanical loads. Depending upon engine type, cooling arrangement. S.I. engine Knock limits reach first, C.I. engine thermal & mechanical limits first.

Supercharging Limits Of S.I. Engine


Limited by knock Temp. & Pressure reduces ignition delay. Knocking limit depend upon: fuel, mixture ratio, design of engine, valve timing, cooling system. Runs on reach mixture Supercharger pressure of 1.3 to 1.5 bar, corresponds to 30-50% supercharging.

Supercharging Limits Of C.I. Engine


Limits not due to combustion Limits reached by thermal loading High Temp of piston & cylinder results in Scuffing of piston rings & heavy liner wear.

Conclusion:
Supercharging is most suitable for C.I. engine than S.I. engine. Fuel consumption is increases due to supercharging in S.I. engine. Engine works better, quitter & smoother.
