Compressor Wheel

The compressor wheel is a key component found in turbocharger systems, responsible for compressing incoming air before it enters the engine’s intake manifold. It consists of a series of curved blades attached to a central hub, designed to rapidly spin as exhaust gas flows over them. This spinning action creates a suction effect, drawing in air and compressing it to higher pressures.

Compressor wheels are typically made from lightweight and durable materials such as aluminum or titanium alloy to withstand the high speeds and temperatures encountered in turbocharger operation. The design of the wheel’s blades and hub is crucial for achieving optimal airflow efficiency and pressure ratios, thereby maximizing engine performance. Compressor wheels are available in various sizes and configurations to suit different engine applications and performance requirements.
