ABSTRACT

Turbocharger is one of the approaches that utilize the exhaust gas of an automobile to drive the compression device. The purpose of turbocharging is to increase the intake pressure and the amount of air into the combustion chamber to improve the efficiency of the engine. One of the main problems with turbochargers is that they do not provide an immediate power boost when the accelerator pad is pressed, and the car would accelerate forward suddenly when the turbocharger gets moving. This study investigated how the design of a turbocharger’s turbine-compressor assembly affects the efficiency of a turbocharger and improved the design of the turbine-compressor assembly in term of transient response. Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) program is used to simulate fluid flow of the design. And rapid prototype machine is used to make a prototype of the turbine-compressor assembly. The major contribution of this project is the design concept that can be implemented to other turbocharger to reduce the effect of turbo-lag and improve the transient response of a turbocharger.

INTRODUCTION

1.1

Background of Study

Automobile has become the most common and most important mean of personal transportation. Millions of people around the world depend on their vehicle to travel here and there. The origin of the automobile can be traced to Europe. It was not common for people to own a car by then due to cars was so expensive. After a century of the automobile, today, more and more people own cars.

Engine is sometimes described as the heart of an automobile. Engine is where the burning of a mixture of fuel and air takes place and it produces mechanical energy to drive the automobile. However, engine cannot work by itself; it has to work together with other automotive parts, for instant, the manifold system. While new engines are not redesigned very frequent, it has the necessity to undertake major redesign of the manifold systems on a more regular basis, as mentioned by Winterbone and Pearson (1999) in their studies.

Winterbone and Pearson (1999) explained how the intake and exhaust manifolds affect engine performance, as well as emissions of noise and pollutants. The potential for energy release in the combustion process, which is manifested as the indicated mean effective pressure or the torque generated, is related to the amount of air entering the cylinders. The majority of engines used in automobile applications is naturally aspirated and operate on the four-stroke cycle, in which distinct strokes of the piston are used to induce the air and exhaust it. There are also other means to introduce the air into the cylinders. The most common methods are


(18)

supercharging, which uses a prime mover to drive the compression device; and turbocharging, a method which utilize the exhaust gas to drive the compression device. These methods are having the same objective that is to increase the intake pressure and the amount of air into the combustion chamber; thus improving the efficiency of the engine. Generally speaking, a turbocharger is more efficient than a centrifugal supercharger. The scope of this study will be limited on the turbocharging method only.

This study will investigate how the design of a turbocharger’s turbine-compressor assembly affects the efficiency of a turbocharger and will try to improve the design of the turbine-compressor assembly. Furthermore, finite element analysis will be done on the redesigned models of the assembly to validate the designs. This study also included machining the prototype of turbine and compressor. 5-axis CNC machining will be used for the machining of the parts.

1.2

Problem Statement

One of the main problems with turbochargers is that they do not provide an immediate power boost when the accelerator pad is pressed, and the car accelerate forward suddenly when the turbo gets moving. Usually a delay is produced between pressing on the accelerator pedal and the boost. This is due to the loss of energy to overcome the rotational inertia of the turbine rotor. This problem is usually described as turbo-lag (Nice, n.d.).

Objective of PSM

The aims of this project are to:

(a) Study and improve the design of a turbocharger turbine-compressor assembly.

1.4

Scope of Work

The automotive part chosen for this project is the turbine-compressor assembly inside a turbocharger. The purpose of this project is to study and improve the design of the turbine-compressor assembly. The main focus is on the turbo-lag.

In addition, a prototype of the model will be fabricated by using 5-axis CNC machining. Before the real machining takes place, machining simulation will be performed using CATIA; and the NC code will be generated. The parameters, for instance, feed, speed, and material removal rate (MRR) involved in the machining will be recorded as well.

LITERATURE REVIEW

2.1

Introduction

This section highlights some literature reviews related to the study. Firstly, an overview of turbocharger, its significance, and its applications are presented. Secondly, turbo-lag and its proposed technical solutions are being highlighted. Finally, reviews of CAD/CAM and ANSYS CFX are presented.

2.2

Turbocharger and Turbocharging Techniques

Turbochargers are a type of forced induction system that compresses the air flowing into the engine. Compressing the air introduces more air into the engine, and more air means that more fuel can be added. Thus, more power can be provided by the combustion process and in other word, the efficiency or power-to-weight ratio for the engine is improved. The flow of gas through a turbocharger is shown in Figure 2.1.

The turbocharger itself is rather a simple device; the typical turbocharger consisting a single turbine attached by a shaft to a single compressor. The operation of a turbocharger is explained in detail by Aaron Joseph King (2002) in his research. The turbine is driven by the exhaust gas at high temperature and pressure from the exhaust manifold. The work of the turbine drives the compressor, and the air entering the intake manifold is compressed. Although this arrangement seems simple, due to


(23)

quite complex. Despite the complications of transient operation of an engine, the advantages associated with the implementation of a turbocharger are universally accepted when applied to high efficiency diesel engines. Significant effort has been aimed at improving the efficiency and power to weight advantages of turbocharged engines.

Figure 2-1: Inlet and Exhaust Gas Flow Through a Turbocharger

Source: Nunney (2006)

Early turbocharging systems isolate the turbine from the inherently unsteady exhaust flow by connecting a large exhaust plenum between the exhaust valves and turbine. The plenum served to dampen the transient exhaust pulsations, allowing the turbocharger to operate in an essentially steady pressure environment. This technique is called constant pressure turbocharging. Due to the isenthalpic expansion process, constant pressure turbocharging decreases available energy to the turbocharger. It also results in a system of high volumetric capacitance, which degrades the system response time to engine accelerations and decelerations.

Therefore, in an effort to utilize more of the energy available from the exhaust flow, a technique known as pulse turbocharging has been developed and become the dominant technology. Pulse turbocharging minimizes the expansion losses by attaching the turbocharger to a small exhaust manifold, subjecting the turbocharger to the full transient of the discrete exhaust valve events. The net loss is


(24)

less than that which occurs in the larger manifolds of a constant-pressure system, but, as a trade-off, the efficiency of the turbocharger subjected to pulsating flow is typically lower. A detailed description of pulse turbocharging has been given by Heywood (1998).

Turbochargers increase the efficiency and performance of diesel engines by extracting more power out of a given engine. Recycling energy from exhaust gases, turbochargers use that gas to turn a turbine, which in turn spins an air pump, which subsequently forces compressed air into the engine’s cylinders. Without a turbocharger, a diesel engine does not accelerate as fast as a gasoline engine. However, a turbocharged diesel overcomes this by forcing more air into the engine.

Honeywell estimates the “turbo effect” of adding a turbocharger to a regular diesel engine to be 70% additional fuel economy. According to a marketing research of Gabelli & Company, Inc. in 2004, the global turbocharger market is approximately 15 million units. Turbochargers are sold, on average, for about $200 each. According to the researcher of the report, David (2004), Turbochargers in the personal vehicle market represent a significant opportunity for the turbocharger or turbocharged engine manufacturers and companies.

Thus, due to the market opportunities of turbochargers, continuous efforts have been made to improve efficiency and matching of rotary machines with internal combustion engine over the widest possible range of operating conditions.

Ceausu (2006) mentioned that the typical boost provided by a turbocharger is 6 to 8 psi. Since normal atmospheric pressure is 14.7 psi at sea level, turbocharger is getting about 50 percent more air into the engine. Therefore, 50 percent more power is expected to obtained. However, nothing is perfectly efficient, so a 30- to 40-percent improvement might be obtained instead.

The turbocharged direct injected diesel engine has become an attractive alternative to gasoline engines on vehicle market. From the evolution of diesel
