Читать книгу Turbo: Real World High-Performance Turbocharger Systems - Jay K Miller - Страница 28

In many ways, the turbine is the heart of the turbocharger. The turbine extracts energy from the exhaust to do the work turning the compressor wheel, which in turn, supplies air to the engine. So the turbine is where it all starts. The turbine has two principal components; the turbine wheel and shaft assembly and the turbine housing. Note that the turbine housing is called a “housing,” while the compressor cover is called a “cover.” This is intentional and is the correct nomenclature in the turbocharger industry. However, compressor “housing” is also correct. But under no circumstances should either be called a “snail!”
