Mitsubishi: More than cars, including good turbochargers
November 21, 2023
Of course, Mitsubishi is world-renowned with a good name. The Japanese company, which has been around since 1870, is much bigger and more diverse than many people think. Once upon a time, Mitsubishi began as a shipping company with three steamboats. In this blog, the story of Mitsubishi's turbo branch. Certainly among turbo specialists like MasterTurbo a hugely appreciated one: the Mitsubishi turbochargers. Particularly widely used in heavy diesel engines in the marine and agricultural sectors.
About Mitsubishi turbochargers
| Mitsubishi even points this out in a video: when it comes to parts, choose the original from an A-brand like Mitsubishi, don't take a chance with a replica turbocharger that looks very similar at first glance! A genuine Mitsubishi turbo undergoes a whole series of critical tests, including a rigorous 'burst containment' test. In this, the test rig raises the pressure inside the turbocharger extremely high to see if the turbo can withstand it. Under these extreme conditions (for example, if a spinning wheel breaks inside the turbocharger), all components must remain neatly contained within their housings. | |
And then there is the highly advanced production process at Mitsubishi; the turbochargers are largely assembled by precision robots, a mistake or deviation from specifications is out of the question. Nevertheless, this is followed by two rounds of inspection, one of which involves cameras. Finally, the turbocharger always goes through human hands, past the eyes of a strict final inspector.
