Twincharger

Term · Industrial and trades · MLC-T-IND-006262

An engine induction system that combines both a supercharger and a turbocharger to deliver forced air into the engine cylinders. This configuration aims to mitigate turbo lag at low engine speeds by using the supercharger, while the turbocharger provides increased power at higher RPMs. The system often employs a bypass valve to disengage the supercharger once the turbocharger is operating effectively.
