Products - Compressor Wheel

The compressor wheel is a part of turbo CHRA who is inside the compressor housing and is usually manufactured from lightweight aluminium. During operation, this wheel spins at high speed, pulling in air, before compressing and pressurising it, and forcing this air through the spiral shaped compressor housing and into the engine.

The compressor wheel is connected to the turbine by a forged steel shaft. As the compressor wheel spins, air is drawn in and is compressed as the blades spin at a high velocity.

A turbocharger consists of a compressor wheel and exhaust gas turbine wheel coupled together by a solid shaft and that is used to boost the intake air pressure of an internal combustion engine. The exhaust gas turbine extracts energy from the exhaust gas and uses it to drive the compressor and overcome friction.
