ABSTRACT:
A supercharger for an internal combustion, diesel engine includes a clutch disc for engaging or disengaging the flywheel of the engine for transmitting power to the transmission and wheels of a vehicle in which the engine is mounted. A blower assembly for the supercharger is fixedly connected to the clutch disc for rotation in unison therewith. The blower includes a cover secured to the clutch disc and a plurality of impeller vanes disposed about its periphery. In operation, when the clutch disc is engaged with the flywheel of the engine, the blower of the supercharger rotates in unison with the clutch plate to draw in air and supply compressed air to the engine to perform the supercharging functions. However, during idling, when the clutch is disengaged, the supercharger blower does not rotate thereby minimizing fuel consumption.
