Overboost
Overboost refers to a brief increase in the boost pressure of a supercharged engine above the normal maximum value, which is intended for continuous operation. The boost pressure is increased by the control unit and - z. B. for overtaking or for charging the battery at full load in hybrid vehicles - a higher torque is available for a certain time .
With the exhaust gas turbocharger , the boost pressure can be regulated mechanically and pneumatically (wastegate valve) or electronically (clock valve changes the opening cross-section); With the VTG loader , the overpressure is achieved by means of adjustable guide vanes.
The overboost is activated manually (see overtaking button ) or requested via the accelerator pedal position ("kick-down").
