TURBOCHARGING INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINES
This seminar covers the basic concepts of turbocharging of gasoline and diesel engines, including turbocharger matching and charge air and EGR cooling, as well as associated controls. The limitations and future possibilities of today’s systems are covered, as well as details on how emerging technologies will impact engine/vehicle performance. The seminar’s primary focus is on the turbocharger-engine interface rather than detailed turbocharger aerodynamics and design. Advanced technologies such as variable geometry and multi-stage turbocharging, high and low pressure loop EGR systems, assisted turbocharging and turbocompounding are discussed. You will have the opportunity to perform hands-on exercises to gain an appreciation of parametric effects in a wide range of engines. Need more background?
