Heat protection for wastegate & pressure can: Wastegate diaper & heat shield!

The so-called Turbo diaper we already know from ours Tuning Wiki. It ensures that the enormous heat from the turbocharger stays where it is generated and not transferred to surrounding components. Finally, heat is a big issue in terms of the subject Material fatigue and power loss, Also a Insulating Wrap for the exhaust manifold works in this way. Here, too, the heat should remain as far as possible where it is generated. And the same principle applies to them too Wastegate diaper for the external wastegate. It also ensures that the heat stays where it originates and that surrounding components and lines are protected from the sometimes enormous radiant heat from the wastegate valve body, which can be heated to 1.000 °C protected .

diaper & heat shield

Such a wastegate diaper fits exactly around that wastegate and protects the surrounding components from the radiated heat. An external wastegate sits directly on the manifold and is always confronted with extremely high temperatures and pressure. And such a wastegate diaper even protects the wastegate itself. Although the exhaust housing of the wastegate is usually made of high-strength stainless steel, the housing for the spring, piston and membrane is almost always made of stainless steel Aluminium. And so that the innards have the best possible protection against premature fatigue, such heat protection for the wastegate is a practical solution. Because the result is one more stable operation from the wastegate valve and thus a constant performance of the turbocharger. Depending on the manufacturer, such a wastegate ceiling is single-layer ceramic wool filled, which keeps the temperature constant and it is also often covered with carbon fiber material.

Protection of the pressure cell on the turbocharger

And another issue is the protection of Vacuum unit at the turbocharger. It should be protected as best as possible from radiant heat, especially in performance-enhanced vehicles. It's possible with one Stainless steel heat shield for the internal wastegate from BorgWarner. It protects the wastegate pressure cell (specifically the housing and membrane of the pressure cell) from the heat from the exhaust housing and the exhaust manifold, so that the inside of the pressure cell is not damaged and the turbocharger continues can hold the boost pressure. Such a heat shield is also available for Garrett turbochargers and many other manufacturers of pressure cans. Incidentally, many of the Wastegate diapers are plug-and-play and can therefore be installed relatively quickly. By the way, this is an online shop that has exactly these products in its range Turbo Center Berlin.

We hope that you have received our information report on the topic / term wastegate diaper (Other designations/keywords are: Wastegate heat protection jacket, wastegate blanket, wastegate blanket, heat protection, heat diaper, wastegate diaper, wastegate diaper, pressure can heat shield, pressure can heat shield, pressure can heat shield, vacuum can heat shield, vacuum can heat shield, vacuum can heat shield, vacuum can heat shield) from the Autotuning category. Our goal is to create the largest German-speaking tuning lexicon (Tuning Wikipedia) and to explain tuning technical terms from A to Z easily and understandably. We are therefore expanding this lexicon almost daily and you can see how far we have already come HERE see. And soon the next tuning scene term illuminated by us. There's a theme that not can be found in our Wikipedia? Then send us an email at kontakt@tuningblog.eu and gives us the term. We will write a suitable article as soon as possible. PS. By the way, you will be informed about new topics if you have ours Feed subscriber.

Below are a few examples from our tuning lexicon:

But of course tuningblog has countless other articles on the subject of cars & car tuning in stock. Do you want to see them all? Just click HERE and look around. We would also like to provide you with news aside from the tuning. In our category Tips, products, information & Co we pick up contributions from car or accessory manufacturers. And also our category Test sites, laws, offenses, information has almost daily new information for you. Here are a few topics from our tuning wiki.
