Turbochargers raise power and efficiency by using exhaust gas energy to compress the intake charge, allowing more fuel to be burned per cycle. This group covers turbochargers and components for MWM gas engines. Turbocharging on a gas engine works alongside the mixture cooler and knock control system to set the operating point, so turbocharger condition affects not just power but the engine's margin against detonation. Higher and more sustained exhaust temperatures than diesel practice mean turbine-side components work harder, and a wastegate that sticks through deposits or thermal distortion changes boost pressure enough to affect combustion stability on a gas engine.
AMS Parts supplies a wide range of turbochargers components for MWM engines used in power generation, marine, and industrial applications. Browse the full range below, or contact us for specific requirements.
Boost pressure sets charge density and therefore combustion pressure and temperature. A wastegate that sticks or a fouled compressor changes the operating point and can push the engine toward detonation.
Gas combustion produces higher and more sustained exhaust temperatures than diesel at comparable output, so turbine-side components operate closer to their thermal limits.
Falling boost pressure, changed exhaust temperatures, noise, and oil in the intake or exhaust. Shaft play beyond the specified limit confirms bearing wear.
