<h1>Turbocharger Structural Repairs</h1>
A turbocharger makes the engine more powerful and thus the engine burns less fuel. The exhaust gases from the engine are utilized by the turbocharger to make the engine powerful, and for this the turbocharger must perform properly, and maintenance and repairing work must be conducted on a regular basis. Turbochargers are highly costly to buy, thus they should be properly maintained. Even if there is minor damage in the turbocharger, it should not be neglected since it can cause significant damage in future to the turbocharger. The turbocharger has two sides, compressor and turbine, and both of these sides must function properly. The turbine casing takes all of the heat from the engine side, so it is considered very hot, and as a result, the turbine casing must be properly manufactured, and for a properly built turbine casing, there are fewer chances of being damaged, but it should be washed properly because there are numerous dust and soot particles, and therefore while repairing it should be properly cleaned, the surface of the turbine casing must be abrasive-treated, and also they are cleaned again with a chemical liquid or solvent. If there is surging in the engine, at the time of normal operation, then it can damage the structure of the compressor casing and this damaged casing then has to be replaced. The blades on the turbine wheel must be properly inspected because they often break due to a lot of pressure and stress, which harms the turbocharger. The turbine blades can be repaired using proper NDT techniques. The rotor shaft, which comes with the turbine wheel, should only be replaced if there is major damage, otherwise it should be cleaned and balanced using proper electronic system, where it can be seen that it is balanced and is in perfect working order. The compressor side of the turbocharger takes the ambient air and the filter has to be replaced with a new one, after certain time interval. The cartridge unit is properly assembled with all essential components and is checked for stable balance, because the cartridge unit is considered to be the turbocharger’s heart and it should be well repaired and balanced with proper electronic system, the repairing is completed with final assembling of cartridge unit and turbine and compressor housing and accompanied by testing to ensure the operation of the repaired turbocharger.
