Inside the Triplex Ceramic Ball Bearing Turbocharger
Summary
Under steady-state operation, the lower HP losses in the TRIPLEX CERAMIC™ ball bearing system means power is available to the turbocharger compressor which results in higher intake manifold pressure.Comp Turbo can supply the TRIPLEX CERAMIC™ turbocharger with various compressors and turbine wheel trims to tailor its performance so that it matches specific engine application requirements; whether they be racing, street or stationary.The friction loss attributed to a stationary thrust bearing is proportional to the fourth power of the radius and can amount to several horsepower at the high speed at which turbochargers operate.Now thats phenomenal response and very impressive.In street applications, the acceleration rate of a vehicle equipped with a TRIPLEX CERAMIC™ turbocharger is enhanced and moves the engine out of inefficient operating regimes more rapidly.Under steady-state operation, the lower HP losses in the TRIPLEX CERAMIC™ ball bearing system means power is available to the turbocharger compressor which results in higher intake manifold pressure.
