Turbo heat jacketsimprove thermal efficiency

March 26, 2006 Turbochargers not only generate lots of engine power but they generate over 1,000 degrees centigrade of heat, which produces significant detrimental side effects. We’ve written about UK-based Owen Developments before. The latest from the Oxfordshire turbocharger technology experts is a range of turbo heat shield jackets developed to fit most makes of turbine housings including Garrett, Mitsubishi, IHI, KKK and Toyota. The jackets offer four major advantages, the most significant being that by retaining heat within the turbine, the hot and expanding gasses will have the effect of increasing thermal efficiency of the turbine design. Bottom line, it’s an additional long term horsepower boost for UKP82.20 (plus VAT if you’re in the UK).
