Abstract
Turbocharging technology is today considered as a promising way for internal combustion engine energy saving and CO2 reduction. Turbocharger design is a major challenge for turbocharged engine performance improvement. The turbocharger designer must draw upon the information of engine operation conditions, and an appropriate link between the engine requirements and design features must be carefully developed to generate the most suitable design recommendation. The objective of this research is to develop a turbocharger design approach for better turbocharger matching to an internal combustion engine. The development of the approach is based on the concept of turbocharger design and interaction links between engine cycle requirements and design parameter values. A turbocharger through flow model is then used to generate the design alternatives. This integrated method has been applied with success to a gasoline engine turbocharger assembly.
