“…Using thermodynamic parameters, a straight forward evaluation of turbocharger performance can be made, but it is assumed a priori that in early failure stages would be very difficult to detect. This is the reason why additional vibration spectral analysis is performed by some authors 7,8 . This way, slight deviations from the “normal behavior” may be detected improving the damage analysis sensitivity.…”

The study performed on this work consists of evaluating the consequences of the introduction of various foreign objects at the compressor inlet of a turbocharger. The most plausible objects were selected. A specific test bench was set up in order to perform the experiment and measure the compression ratio and compressor efficiency evolution. Measurements were performed before (healthy compressor) and after the object introduction (damaged compressor). Results obtained indicate that losses in performance can be very important, but also that the compressor can swallow hard objects without visible damage. Therefore the experiments were filmed with a high speed camera. Visual information has helped to better understand the phenomenon, to explain the measurements and it has been taken into account in order to perform final diagnosis. As expected, the harder the object is and the longer it hits compressor wheel before being swallowed, the most severe is the damage. Nevertheless, softer material can reach abnormal performance but in randomly manner and such incipient damage can be detected easily in high air flow rates than in lower.
