What is it and what it does?
Super compressor, as the name suggests operates using the technology resembling to that currently applied by Mercedez Benz, a well known German car manufacturer. It consists of a set of 100% fully running component that greatly helps in the compression and the force of air to drawn into the cylinder. Consequently, this will directly increase the quantity of air and pressure and thereby causing the air to draw in much more compressed and faster.
An internal combustion process within engine could be viewed as well as a sophisticated air pump. At the time during the opening of the cylinder valve, the mixture of air and fuel will rapidly enter the combustion room in a high pressure. The more pressure and quantity of air together with a propotional amount of fuel is then compressed, ignited, and expelled.
A super compressor system compresses and forces more air into a cylinder that it could take under atmospheric conditions. The more quantity of air, air pressure and fuel in a cylinder, when ignited, the more powerful the resulting explosion.
What about fuel economy?
During idle and cruise, the compressor is bypassed, so the engine would behave as it would normally. If you force 50% more air into an 3.2L engine, it will perform like an 4.8L engine! In essence, it only forces more air into the engine as you desired.
More importantly, the effect helps to promote more complete internal combustion resulting in a better running engine and reduced carbon emissions. It is like having two engines in one vehicle, the power of an 4.8 L when you want it, the economy of an 3.2L through the rest of the time.
