CHRA

A Turbocharger CHRA (Centre Housing Rotating Assembly) is a critical component of a turbocharger system.

The CHRA is essentially the core of the turbocharger, consisting of the centre housing, bearings, and the rotating assembly. Let's break down the key components:

Centre Housing:

The centre housing is a durable casing that encloses the rotating components of the CHRA.

It contains passages and channels for the flow of oil and coolant to ensure proper lubrication and cooling of the turbocharger.

Rotating Assembly:

The rotating assembly includes the shaft, turbine wheel, and compressor wheel.

The shaft connects the turbine and compressor wheels, allowing them to spin together.

The turbine wheel is located on the exhaust side and is driven by exhaust gases from the engine.

The compressor wheel is on the intake side and compresses incoming air before it enters the engine.

Bearings:

Bearings support the rotating assembly, allowing it to spin smoothly at high speeds.

Ball bearings are often used in high-performance and more modern turbochargers due to their reduced friction and improved responsiveness. All of the Enhanced Turbo Storm range use Dual Ceramic Ball Bearings for maximum performance and reliability.

In operation, exhaust gases flow over the turbine wheel, causing it to spin. The connected shaft then drives the compressor wheel, which draws in and compresses air before delivering it to the engine. The CHRA's bearings play a crucial role in reducing friction and supporting the high-speed rotation of the assembly.

All Enhanced Turbo ball bearing Turbocharger CHRA are 3 stage balanced and include balancing certification and a unique serial number and are ready to fit.
