A/R Ratio or Area / Radius is a measurement of the internal volume ( called the Volute) of a compressor or turbine housing, the larger the A/R the larger the internal volume of the volute.
For the turbine housing a larger A/R will allow a higher mass flow through the housing and thus a lower back pressure for the engine, however as the gas velocity will be slower due to the larger internal volume this can lead to less energy to the turbine wheel and a slower spool up time. The trick is to have a large enough A/R to allow the engine to breathe well but not too large so as to be detrimental to spool up time.
For the compressor stage the story is a little different because the function of the volute not the same, a larger compressor housing A/R provides a larger volume to trap the air escaping from the compressor wheel, this in turn allows more kinetic energy to be converted to pressure, but as with the turbine, too big an A/R can lead to poor performance.

| The BHP figures quoted are to be used as a guide only. Your specific requirements should be directed to the Technical Staff at Owen Developments either by our enquiry form or by phone between the hours of 9am-5pm weekdays only. You will need to provide details of engine type and capacity, maximum RPM, expectation and intended use and we will endeavour to help and advise where possible, as to the best turbocharger specification for your particular requirement. However it must be noted that Owen Developments are not liable for the condition and performance of the recipient vehicle, which in turn, may alter the recommended turbochargers performance and ability that is ultimately achieved. |
