Question: I am reading a book that Blown472 sent me on blowers. I was reading last night that the purpose of a blower is to create a denser charge (obvious). When you compress air, it heats up, thus working against the purpose, which is to condense the charge. An example they used is that if you had a box, which was totally sealed and you stuck a pressure gauge in the side of the box and then put the box over a flame, it would heat up. As the air expands, it will create pressure (boost), which would show up on the gauge. ItÂ’s misleading since most people think that the more boost you make, the better. One way people solve this is by adding an intercooler like the "superchiller".
My question is: do any of you blower guys have blower specs that include the ratio of compression to heat. Theoretically, if you get a blower that will compress the charge and not heat up the air as much as the next blower, you are ahead of the game. Anyone know this info?
