  2. Supercharger - Wikipedia

    However, because 6–71 is the engine's designation rather than that of the blower, the actual displacement of the blower is less; for example, a 6–71 blower pumps 339 cu in (5.6 L) per revolution. Other supercharger manufacturers have produced blowers rated up to 16–71.

    Supercharger: Two-speed two-stage, boost pressure automatically linked to the throttle, water-air aftercooler installed between the second stage and the engine. Fuel system: Twin-choke updraft carburetor with automatic mixture control; Fuel type: 100 Octane, from mid 1944 100/150 Grade Aviation fuel

  4. Centrifugal-type supercharger - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centrifugal-type_supercharger

    Distancing the supercharger from the engine via a mounting bracket greatly reduces heat transfer from the engine to the supercharger during operation. By comparison, a twin screw or roots blower which is nested in the center (valley) of the engine, will absorb heat (heat soak) during operation due to thermal transfer from the engine block and ...

  5. Roots blower - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roots_blower

    An Eaton M62 Roots-type supercharger is visible at the front of this Ecotec LSJ engine in a 2006 Saturn Ion Red Line.. The Roots-type blower is simple and widely used. It can be more effective than alternative superchargers at developing positive intake manifold pressure (i.e., above atmospheric pressure) at low engine speeds, making it a popular choice for passenger automobile applications.

    The Wright R-1820 Cyclone 9 is an American radial engine developed by Curtiss-Wright, widely used on aircraft in the 1930s through 1950s. It was produced under license in France as the Hispano-Suiza 9V or Hispano-Wright 9V , and in the Soviet Union as the Shvetsov M-25 .

  7. Rotary-screw compressor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotary-screw_compressor

    The term "blower" is applied to rotary screw, roots-type, and centrifugal compressors when utilized as part of an automotive forced induction system. The term 'cabin blower' is also used for the pressurisation of aircraft for high altitude flight, which used Roots type compressors particularly in the 1950s (see Marshall supercharger).

  8. Allison V-1710 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allison_V-1710

    Oil system: Pressure fed at 60–70 psi (414–483 kPa), dry sump with one pressure and two scavenge pumps. Cooling system: Liquid-cooled with a mixture of 70% water and 30% ethylene glycol, pressurized. Reduction gear: Spur reduction gear, 0.5:1 ratio, right hand tractor (V-1710-F30L / -113 is the same engine with LH rotation)

  9. Auxiliary power unit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Auxiliary_power_unit

    The first German jet engines built during the Second World War used a mechanical APU starting system designed by the German engineer Norbert Riedel.It consisted of a 10 horsepower (7.5 kW) two-stroke flat engine, which for the Junkers Jumo 004 design was hidden in the engine nose cone, essentially functioning as a pioneering example of an auxiliary power unit for starting a jet engine.
