Supercharger drive.SUPERCHARGER supercharger Air compressor or blower used in piston-type internal-combustion engines to increase the amount of air drawn into the cylinders by the movement of the pistons during each intake stroke. DRIVE The Antonov Antonov, or Antonov Aeronautical Scientific/Technical Complex (Antonov ASTC) (Ukrainian: Авіаційний Mechanical Module (www.antonovtransmission.com) is a two-speed automatic transmission that attaches to a Rotrex centrifugal centrifugal /cen·trif·u·gal/ (sen-trif´ah-gal) efferent (1). cen·trif·u·gal adj. 1. Moving or directed away from a center or axis. 2. supercharger, and drives it faster at low engine speeds without over-driving it at higher speeds. Though more compact and less complex than a positive-displacement supercharger, a centrifugal unit does not have the same low-speed torque capacity without this module. The unit attaches to the supercharger without need for either external controls or hydraulics hydraulics, branch of engineering concerned mainly with moving liquids. The term is applied commonly to the study of the mechanical properties of water, other liquids, and even gases when the effects of compressibility are small. . [ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] |
