In a modern small sized passenger car fitted with a common rail diesel engine, turbo-lag is an important factor which hampers its performance. This paper discusses the basics of turbo-charger and VGT and some of the methods employed to reduce the turbo-lag in CRDI diesel engine. A novel turbocharger concept, approach to design, the control strategy and advantages of the concept are explained.

V-band clamps are utilised in a wide range of industries to connect together a pair of circular flanges, for ducts, pipes, turbocharger housings and even to form a joint between satellites and their delivery vehicle. In this paper, using a previously developed axisymmetric finite element model, the impact of contact pressure on the contact surface of the V-band clamp was studied and surface rou...

the usage of turbochargers in diesel engines has led to the downsizing of the motors as well as usage of the waste gates in turbochargers. any dimensional reduction in turbochargers and appurtenant leads to an enhancement on the performance of internal combustion engines and in environmental problems in terms of aerodynamic, thermodynamic and mechanical specifications for both engines and turbo...

An investigation has been carried out to assess the effect of volute design on the performance of a centrifugal compressor. Three volutes, based on a turbocharger compressor volute, have been fabricated and tested. These volutes provided two that were larger than the original design, and one that was smaller. The alternative volute designs were fabricated from sheet steel and had a square cross...

In this work, the characterization of the assembly of a steel shaft into a γ-TiAl part for turbocharger application, obtained using Electron Beam Welding (EBW) technology with a Ni-based filler, was carried out. The Ti-48Al-2Nb-0.7Cr-0.3Si (at %) alloy part was produced by Electron Beam Melting (EBM). This additive manufacturing technology allows the production of a lightweight part with comple...
