← TechnologyWhich risk increases when turbocharger rotor speed exceeds manufacturer's specified limit due excessive exhaust gas temperature?
A)Compressor surge due to stall
B)Rotor failure from creep rupture✓
C)Bearing seizure from oil breakdown
D)Intercooler damage from pressure spike
💡 Explanation
When rotor speed exceeds the limit from high exhaust temperature, creep rupture occurs because high temperature weakens the rotor material and centrifugal stresses cause plastic deformation over time, leading to eventual cracking. Therefore rotor failure from creep rupture results, rather than surge, seizure or intercooler damage that have different triggering conditions.
