I-turbocharger iyisistimu yokuqondisa ephoqelelwe. Icindezela umoya ogeleza enjinini. Umoya ocindezelwe uvumela injini ukuthi icindezele umoya owengeziwe kusilinda, futhi umoya owengeziwe usho ukuthi uphethiloli owengeziwe ungajovwa kusilinda. Ngakho-ke, ukusha kwe-cylinder ngayinye kungakhiqiza amandla engeziwe. Injini ye-Turbocharged ikhiqiza amandla amaningi kakhulu kunenjini efanayo evamile. Ngale ndlela, amandla enjini angathuthukiswa kakhulu. Ukuze kutholwe lokhu kuthuthukiswa kokusebenza, i-turbocharger isebenzisa igesi yokukhipha umoya ephuma enjinini ukuze ishayele i-turbine ukuze ijikeleze, futhi i-turbine ishayela iphampu yomoya ukuze ijikeleze. Isivinini esikhulu se-turbine ku-turbine yi-150,000 revolutions ngomzuzu-okulingana nesivinini esiphindwe izikhathi ezingu-30 kuneningi lezinjini zezimoto. Ngesikhathi esifanayo, ngenxa yokuxhumana nepayipi yokukhipha umoya, izinga lokushisa le-turbine ngokuvamile liphezulu kakhulu. Kuya

Ama-Turbocharger ngokuvamile afakwa ngemuva kwe-exhaust manifold yenjini. Igesi ye-exhaust ekhishwa epayipini legatsha le-exhaust ishayela i-turbine ukuthi ijikeleze, futhi i-turbine ixhunywe ku-compressor efakwe phakathi kwesihlungi somoya kanye nepayipi lokudonsa ngokusebenzisa shaft. I-compressor icindezela umoya ku-cylinder. Umoya okhipha umoya ophuma kusilinda udlula ezinhlamvini ze-turbine, okwenza i-turbine ijikeleze. Lapho igesi yokukhipha igesi eyengeziwe igeleza phakathi kwama-blades, i-turbine iphenduka ngokushesha. Ngakolunye uhlangothi lwe-shaft exhuma i-turbine, i-compressor idonsa umoya ku-cylinder. I-compressor iyiphampu eyi-centrifugal emunca umoya phakathi nendawo yama-blades futhi iphonsa umoya ngaphandle njengoba ijikeleza. Ukuze uvumelane nesivinini esifinyelela ku-150,000 rpm, ama-turbocharger asebenzisa ama-hydraulic bearings. Ama-hydraulic bearings anganciphisa ukungqubuzana okuhlangabezana nakho lapho i-shaft ijikeleza. Izingxenye ezixhunywe ku-turbine yilezi: ipayipi legatsha lokuqeda amandla, isiguquli sendlela ezintathu se-catalytic, ipayipi lokungena, ipayipi lamanzi, ipayipi likawoyela, njll.
