Ogura Industrial has created a new animation showing how a supercharger (air blower) works. Many people are familiar with the term supercharger from the automotive world … but are unaware of the many other uses of these high-performance units.

For design engineers who have wondered, a new three-minute animation provides a quick understanding of how a supercharger operates for engine applications … and in a variety of other applications — such as air blow-off and drying systems; agricultural sprayers; and fuel cells. In these applications, the blowers boost efficiency.

Ogura superchargers come in eight different standard models and can provide a discharge volume from 100 to 2,800 cc per revolution with many units comfortably operating at 12,000 rpm.
