Adding boost with a supercharger increases the temperature of the charge air above inlet air temperature through the compression of the air. This calculator provides the temperature of the air as it exits the supercharger.
variable | description |
ambient temperature | the air temperature entering the supercharger |
boost | the amount of boost that the supercharger is generating |
thermal efficiency | the thermal efficiency of the supercharger at the boost pressure. Typical values are as follows: roots: 55% centrifugal: 75% twin screw: 70% however see the manufacturers specification for your particular supercharger |
temperature at outlet | the temperature of the charge air exiting the supercharger |
