Supercharging

From Koset Surakomol

How does supercharging increase engine performance?

Superchargers achieve performance gains by increasing the density of the air/fuel charge within the combustion chambers of an engine. This increase in density is achieved by forcing additional amounts of air (beyond the amount of air that normal atmospheric pressure would force into the engine) at the lowest temperature possible. CFM measures the volume of air that an engine is flowing, while MAF (mass air flow) also factors in the temperature of the air charge, since a cooler charge is more dense and therefore more powerful. So in more technical terms, supercharging increases both the volumetric efficiency of the engine and the mass air flow through the engine to produce gains in both horsepower and torque. (Ref.

ProCharger Design

The patented SC design eliminates the need for oil lines and punching a hole in the oil pan. br Additionally, instead of being forced to utilize heated engine oil or the grease in sealed br bearings, SC ProChargers are lubricated with an extremely high quality synthetic oil which br is specifically engineered for high speed use, and produces the least frictional heat and br parasitic load. The self-contained design not only eliminates the heat that is transferred br to a supercharger by engine oil in oil-fed applications, it also avoids the risk of clogged br supercharger oil lines, oil drainage problems, or engine oil leakage. By combining an advanced br multi-patented supercharger transmission design with the highest quality oil, SC ProChargers br produce a larger net power gain because they run cooler and consume less power than comparable br oil-fed designs.
