Clamps for Turbocharger Systems& Intercoolers
ZAKER V Band, TBLS (Spring T bolt),Heavy Duty Worm Drive Clamps (SLHD), Turbo Seal Clamps and Dual Bead Clamps
Xinzhihe industry has been servicing customers for over100 years and is a trusted name in industrial clamp manufacturing. Xinzhiheindustry designs, manufactures, and supplies industrial hose and pipe clampsfor turbo chargers and intercoolers used in standard automotive, Rally CarRacing, higher end racing, heavy duty trucks, heavy machinery, and othersapplications. The best clamps for turbo applications must withstand hightemperatures while maintaining precise tightness and be highly durable.
TurbochargerClamp Selection Guide fromXinzhihe industry.
- There are 5 sections to
a turbocharger (TC) system: (1) from the air filter to the air inlet side
of the TC compressor; (2) from the outlet of the TC compressor to the
inlet side of an intercooler; (3) from the intercooler outlet to the
engine intake manifold; (4) from the engine exhaust manifold to the
turbine inlet on the TC; (5) from the turbine outlet on the TC to the
exhaust pipe/muffler on the vehicle.
- Air is pulled into the
engine combustion chamber through the air filter during the downward
intake stroke of the piston. Then the air is mixed with the fuel and
is compressed. When this air/fuel mixture is ignited the engine produces
power.
- The resulting exhaust
gas from the combustion process turns the turbine wheel in the TC.
- This then turns the
compressor wheel in the TC and forces compressed air into the
engine.
- As this air is
compressed it becomes hotter. Compressed air from the TC can have several
undesirable effects if it is hot enough, including reduced engine life and
reduced ultimate engine power. In many applications an intercooler is
added between the TC and engine intake manifold to reduce the compressed
air temperature.
- The addition of the
intercooler can significantly lower the temperature of the air charge
entering the engine combustion chamber, allowing the engine to produce
more power at a given level of boost pressure.
- Note that in some
applications an intercooler may not be used, in which case the outlet of
the TC compressor is connected directly to the engine intake manifold.
Recommended Turbocharger Clamps byApplication
- Engine exhaust manifold
to the turbine inlet on the TC – This may be a bolted flat flange in which
case no clamp is required. Other applications may use a round clamped
flange where a ZAKER
- Turbine outlet on the
TC – This may be a bolted flat flange with no clamp required, or a round
clamped flange where a ZAKER
- Air filter to the air
inlet side of the TC compressor – ZAKER
- TC compressor outlet to
the intercooler (or to the intake manifold in applications without an
intercooler) - ZAKER
- Intercooler outlet to
the engine intake manifold - ZAKER
