OT stuff from BoB update thread:

Having a supercharger and turbocharger - shows why it was so complicated for the era. Quote:
Lovely... ![]() Q: What is the purpose of the small radiator, just below the engine? Second (SC) inter-cooler?

I think it's the oil cooler.

Makes sense. The intake pipes aren't running through it.

Wow! Nice drawings... did you make them by yourself? And, is there a website or something similar where more of those can be found (with cockpit details like here)?

Actually it's an intercooler to keep the air going back to the turbos from Frying them...Also lowering the tempurature makes the air thicker. Interesting to see how its both Turbo Charged and SuperCharged.

I would still go with the oil cooler, like Azimech said.

BUT:
1. Looking at the blueprint it looks like: SC->IC->Turbo->Intake Which I think is odd, very odd. I would expect the highest pressure/temp rise passing the turbo. 2. Another funny thing is the exhaust manifold and the tubing, outside the airplane. @10K amsl you got what, -35°? And your flying >600kph. Now, cooling down the exhaust gases can't really add to the efficiency, or am I wrong? Any thoughts? EDIT: Point one seems wrong after drawing some lines - but now the setup looks even weirder. ![]() ![]() I mean, I would expect they bypassed the SC at some rpm level(And maybe shared the IC for it too), if my drawing are correct, it's more like Turbo->IC->SC->Intake.

![]() Turbine is just that - a turbine. Turbocharger is driven by the kinetic energy of exhaust gases. It does not use the same exhaust gases to feed the engine. It sucks in the same air the normal, mechanically driven supercharger would. The only scenario where you would use (recirculated) exhaust gases is when you want to lower emissions set by certain standard (e.g. EGR valve). And this is way too modern technology for WW2. Quote:
Exhaust valves / TC + fresh air => IC (for TC) => SC > engine intake valves (or manifold if you want).

Maybe because you misunderstood the drawing...
Red: Exhaust light blue: fresh compressed hot air blue: cooled down compressed air I did not draw the point where the exhaust gases leve the system, nor the the actual intake. Back to the 190: Quote:
