Technician A says that a bypass valve is used to control the boost pressure on most factory installed superchargers. Technician B says that an intercooler is used on many turbocharged and some supercharged engines to reduce the temperature of air entering the engine for increased power. Who is right?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Technician A is correct because a bypass valve (also known as a blow-off valve) is indeed used in supercharged engines to control boost pressure by diverting excess air, preventing damage and ensuring the engine runs smoothly. Technician B is also correct because intercoolers are used in both turbocharged and supercharged engines to cool the air entering the engine, which increases its density for improved combustion and, consequently, more power.
