← TechnologyWhich risk is amplified following a turbocharger oil supply failure in a diesel engine?
A)Compressor surge occurrence probability✓
B)Exhaust valve thermal cracking rate
C)Intercooler icing likelihood increment
D)Crankshaft bearing hydrodynamic instability
💡 Explanation
When oil supply to the turbocharger fails, lubrication ceases and bearing friction drastically increases, causing rotational speed fluctuations that lead to unsteady airflow which generates compressor surge. Therefore surge probability greatly increases, rather than valve cracking, intercooler icing, or bearing instability, which are effects of different failure modes.
