Q

The air supplied to the cylinders by a turbocharger is often reduced in volume by a/an __________.

🔍 Key Concepts

• Turbocharger operation – how it increases the mass of air going into the cylinders • Difference between cooling air and squeezing (compressing) air • What happens to air density when air is cooled after being compressed

💭 Think About

• Think about which device in the list is normally installed after a turbocharger in an engine’s air system. • Ask yourself: if you want more oxygen in the cylinders, do you want the air to be hotter and expanded, or cooler and denser? • Which option is specifically used to change the temperature of the intake air, not to further compress it?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which choice is commonly paired with a turbocharger on diesel engines to increase air density into the cylinders. • Check which component’s main job is to remove heat from compressed air, rather than to add more pressure. • Eliminate any answer that primarily speeds up air flow or raises pressure without significantly cooling it.
