Section 6 Operation notice of turbo- charger diesel engine 
Turbocharger mounted at the exhaust pipe of the diesel engine. Exhaust 
gas discharged from the cylinder entry turbocharger casing through exhaust 
pipe drives impeller of the turbine, then drives impeller of the compressor 
push the pressed air filtered by air filtered into cylinder. Due to more air 
pressed into cylinder, more fuel can be injected and burned more enough, 
then diesel discharge more power and lower displacement. Meanwhile, it can 
be compensated the power when the diesel engine operates at plateau 
area( turbocharger with discharge valve owns advantages such as large 
torque at low speed ,    high and low speed performance) 
Caution for diesel operation as followed: 
1 Favorable lubrication is the key to extend service life of turbocharger and 
diesel engine, because turbocharger is a precise part. The faster speed of the 
rotor, the higher temperature of the turbine (usual above 640°C), and the 
pressure of the lubricant set up rotor shaft (called floating bearing) to work. So 
the lubricant shall be clear and pressurized, with high quality. Pressured 
lubricant filtered from lubricant system be used at turbocharger. Speed of 
turbocharger is much higher than that of diesel, then inferior quality, dirty or 
poor lubricate capability, all can damage the turbocharger. So seriously affect 
the diesel to work well. Therefore, it is necessary to use CD oil for diesel, 
change oil, filter core of oil filter, clear oil sump and oil pump suction regularly 
according to the technical maintenance requirement of diesel operation manual. 
If the damage of the turbocharger and diesel is caused by the above caution 
such as use    inferior quality oil, not change oil, filter core of oil filter, clear oil 
sump and oil pump suction regularly , causes oil    aging, deterioration result in
