Clamps for Turbocharger Systems & Intercoolers
ZAKER V Band, TBLS (Spring T bolt), Heavy Duty Worm Drive Clamps (SLHD), Turbo Seal Clamps and Dual Bead Clamps
Xinzhihe industry has been servicing customers for over 100 years and is a trusted name in industrial clamp manufacturing. Xinzhihe industry designs, manufactures, and supplies industrial hose and pipe clamps for turbo chargers and intercoolers used in standard automotive, Rally Car Racing, higher end racing, heavy duty trucks, heavy machinery, and others applications. The best clamps for turbo applications must withstand high temperatures while maintaining precise tightness and be highly durable.
Turbocharger Clamp Selection Guide:
1. Selection of the clamp model: The selection of the clamp model should be based on the size of the turbocharger. It is recommended to choose a clamp with a slightly larger diameter than the turbocharger inlet and outlet pipes.
2. Material selection: The clamp material should be corrosion-resistant and able to withstand high temperatures. Stainless steel clamps are commonly used for turbocharger applications.
3. Installation method: When installing the clamp, make sure it is securely fastened to prevent any leaks. It is recommended to use a torque wrench to tighten the clamp to the specified torque.
4. Inspection and maintenance: Regularly inspect the clamp for any signs of wear or damage. Replace the clamp if necessary to ensure proper sealing of the turbocharger pipes.
5. Compatibility: Ensure that the selected clamp is compatible with the turbocharger model to avoid any fitment issues.
6. Consultation: If you have any questions or need assistance in selecting the right clamp for your turbocharger, feel free to consult our technical team for guidance.
- There are 5 sections to a turbocharger (TC) system: (1) from the air filter to the air inlet side of the TC compressor; (2) from the outlet of the TC compressor to the inlet side of an intercooler; (3) from the intercooler outlet to the engine intake manifold; (4) from the engine exhaust manifold to the turbine inlet on the TC; (5) from the turbine outlet on the TC to the exhaust pipe/muffler on the vehicle.
- Air is pulled into the engine combustion chamber through the air filter during the downward intake stroke of the piston. Then the air is mixed with the fuel and is compressed. When this air/fuel mixture is ignited the engine produces power.
- The exhaust gas generated from the combustion process drives the turbine wheel in the turbocharger.
- This then turns the compressor wheel in the TC and forces compressed air into the engine.
- When the air is compressed, it becomes hotter. Compressed air from the turbocharger can have various negative effects if it is too hot, such as reducing engine lifespan and ultimate engine power. In many cases, an intercooler is installed between the turbocharger and the engine intake manifold to lower the temperature of the compressed air.
- The addition of the intercooler can significantly lower the temperature of the air charge entering the engine combustion chamber, allowing the engine to produce more power at a given level of boost pressure.
- In some applications, an intercooler may not be used, in which case the outlet of the TC compressor is connected directly to the engine intake manifold.
Recommended Turbocharger Clamps by Application
- Engine exhaust manifold to the turbine inlet on the TC - This may be a bolted flat flange in which case no clamp is required. Other applications may use a round clamped flange where a ZAKER
- Turbine outlet on the TC - This may be a bolted flat flange with no clamp required, or a round clamped flange where a ZAKER.
- Air filter to the air inlet side of the TC compressor - ZAKER
