Description:
This international conference is the next in the Institution’s series, held regularly since 1978, addressing current and novel aspects of turbocharging systems design, boosting solutions for engine downsizing and improvements in efficiency. (Note: LowCVP member discount available.)
The event will focus on the latest research and development in this growing and innovative area. Future market forces and environmental considerations for transport, specifically in the passenger car, commercial vehicle and the marine sectors mean more stringent engine downsizing.
The event will focus on boosting solutions including hybrid, electric-motor and exhaust waste energy recovery systems for high efficiency, reliability, durability and compactness, this conference will examine what new systems developments are underway.
Papers will address the following topics:
High-speed engines
• Novel turbocharging system-boosting solutions for SI and CI engine downsizing
• Novel turbocharging systems design including direct and differential turbocompounding
• Hybrid vehicles and systems augmenting fuel efficiency through exhaust waste energy recovery
• Aerodynamic design of current and novel pressure charging systems, including radial and axial flow compressors and turbines and supercharging systems
• Current and novel mechanical design, rotordynamics considerations, noise, vibration and robustness
• Quality issues relating to manufacturing, including low-cost, high-temperature materials, durability, operational reliability and in-service issues
• Packaging, installation on the engine and interaction, calibration and control
• Advanced simulation techniques
• Advance testing and development facilities
Medium-speed engines
• High-pressure turbocharging systems and extreme Miller cycle
• Turbocharging system interaction with EGR or SCR for IMO tier III, and combined solutions with wet methods and variable quality fuel
• Turbocharging system interaction with scrubber or low sulphur fuel to reduce SOx”
