Sporadic surge blows
Surging of the turbocharger can occur during certain operating condi-
tions such as when reducing the engine performance quickly when man-
oeuvring. At the same time, the flow direction in the compressor is mo-
mentarily reversed. Such sporadic surge blows do not impair the safe
operation of the turbocharger.
¡
A surge blow is accompanied by a loud bang and escape of hot air
from the filter silencer.
