466642-0002 AeroForce Turbocharger Assembly; Replaces CMI 649151-2

Overview:

AeroForce turbochargers are engineered to meet the demands of various aircraft engine sizes and performance requirements, from smaller engines like the Rotax 914 to larger Continental and Lycoming engines used in pressurized aircraft. Manufactured using advanced CNC equipment and inspected with precision coordinate measuring machines (CMMs), these turbochargers are balanced using high-speed equipment capable of exceeding 100,000 rpm.

Product Features:

• Advanced Design: Incorporates a radial-outflow air compressor directly coupled to a radial-inflow turbine, optimizing airflow and boosting engine efficiency.

• Precision Engineering: Turbine and compressor wheels are mounted on a common shaft supported by full-floating bearings within a cast iron center housing, ensuring durability and smooth operation.

• Efficient Lubrication: Utilizes pressurized lubricating oil from the engine's lubrication system, delivered to the shaft bearings through drilled passages in the center housing. The oil is then collected and returned to the engine crankcase by gravity or scavenging, maintaining optimal performance.

• Maintenance-Friendly: While no scheduled periodic maintenance is required for the turbocharger itself, adhering to good maintenance practices for engine lubrication, air intake, and exhaust systems is essential for maximizing turbocharger life and performance.

By replacing the CMI 649151-2 with the AeroForce 466642-0002 turbocharger assembly, aircraft operators can expect enhanced engine performance, improved fuel efficiency, and reliable operation across various flight conditions.
