Between the opening on the suction side (A) and the opening The pressure side (B) is located in the operating space for the compressor (50).

The operating space is made up of the outer housing and the two contra-rotating helical spindles 1 and 2 (50/1, 50/2). A tight gap is achieved to ensure a seal between the two helical spindles themselves and the housing.

The synchronizer gear (50/3) which ensures contact-free rotation of the two helical spindles, is located outside of the operating chamber.

The compressor is switched on by the supercharger magnetic clutch on the pulley wheel.

Translation of power between the compressor and the engine is governed by the difference of pressure on the two pulley wheels. The compressor speed is up to 02/2006 somewhat more than double the engine speed and from 03/2006 about 3.5 times the engine speed.

No setting or maintenance operations are necessary at the supercharger. Lubrication of the supercharger transmission is "lubrication for life".

IMPORTANT The package contents (in the case of a repair) includes the supercharger with supercharger magnetic clutch, belt pulley and guide pulley.
