The exhaust system for a turbocharged diesel engine functions to ________.
• turbocharged diesel engine airflow path (intake → compression → combustion → exhaust) • how exhaust gas energy is reused in turbocharging systems • role of aftercoolers/charge air coolers vs. role of the exhaust system
• Which major engine component is physically driven by the flow and energy of the exhaust gases in a turbocharged system? • Is cooling of components the primary design purpose of the exhaust system, or a secondary/indirect effect? • What does an aftercooler actually cool, and where does it get its energy or driving force from?
• Identify which choice correctly uses exhaust gas energy as the driving force for a device. • Separate the function of air cooling (intake/charge air) from the job of carrying away combustion products (exhaust). • Eliminate any option that would reduce engine breathing/scavenging, since turbocharging is generally meant to improve air supply, not reduce it.
