Abstract: Faults in the intake and exhaust path of turbocharged common rail Diesel engines can
lead to an increase of emissions and performance losses. Application of turbocharger models can
help to detect and diagnose more faults as standard fault detection methods. The modeling of the
turbocharger for onboard fault diagnosis can be obtained by dierent models. The dierences
between an approach based on the isentropic eciencies and an approach based on Eulers
turbo-machinery equation are investigated in this paper. The two models for a GT1749MV
turbocharger are parameterized with data from the engine testbed. The comparison is applied
by issues of measured model inputs, number of intern parameters, parameterization eort and
model accuracy. Both models are compared regarding the application for onboard diagnosis.

1. INTRODUCTION
Dynamic models of turbocharged Diesel engines are
needed for purposes of simulation assisted development of
engine parts, control and diagnosis functions. The intake
and exhaust path is an important part of the engine model,
due to its growing complexity and nonlinear dynamics.
The turbocharger model has a signicant inuence on the
performance of the complete air and exhaust path model.
Mrosek and Isermann (2010) and Shaaban (2004) show
that consideration of the heat transfers in the turbocharger
housing leads to better model accuracy. Turbocharger
eciency maps usually delivered by the manufacturer
are gained from the turbocharger hot gas test bench.
They contain measurement points at medium to high
turbocharger speeds with negligible eects of heat transfer
and dont reproduce the inuence of pulsations occurring
at the engine. Parameterization of the turbocharger using
extrapolation from these measurement points, Guzzella
(2009), leads nonetheless to insucient modeling results.
The alternative parameterization way is to use measurements from engine test bench in the operation region with
low to high turbocharger speeds in order to take the heat
transfer as well as engine pulsations into account.

The compression process is illustrated in Fig. 1 a) using hs-diagramm with lines of constant pressure 1 and 2 and
measured temperatures 1 and 2 . The diabatic enthalpy
dierence , , obtained from the measured temperatures represents both compression process and heat transfer. In order to separate the adiabatic compression from
the heat inow, the diabatic process can be divided into
three parts. Thereby heat transfer into the compressor is
assumed to occur on two lumped locations on the ow
path (Shaaban (2004)). The specic heat inow before
compression , leads to temperature increase from 1
to 1 . The adiabatic compression of the intake air from
pressure 1 to 2 is attended with temperature increase

2.2 Fluid dynamic approach
The turbocharger modeling with uiddynamic approach
is based on Eulers equation of turbo-machinery. The adiabatic enthalpy dierence of compressor and turbine are
calculated according to Watson and Janota (1982), Zahn
and Isermann (2008), Mrosek and Isermann (2010) using
the parametric approach derived from physical equations
of uiddynamic theory.
Compressor The adiabatic enthalpy dierence of compressor is derived from the velocity triangles of the impeller
in- and outlet shown in Fig. 2. From Eulers equation of
turbo-machinery yields:
, = 2 2, 1 1
(32)
with peripheral velocities 2 and 1 and peripheral components of the absolute velocity at the impeller inlet 1
and outlet 2, , see Fig. 2. Neglecting impeller inlet component yields:
, = 2 2,

with diameter of the compressor wheel 2 . From Fig. 2 b)

3. COMPARISON
Modeling approaches presented in last sections contain parameters which have to be obtained applying identication
methods. The eects of ow unsteadyness are considered
in both models rst by using the pressures before and after
the compressor respectively turbine as inputs of massow
as well as of enthalpy dierence models. Further engine
test bench measurements containing gas pressure and
massow oscillations are used for parameter estimation.
In following the dierence in the parameterization eort
of both models is outlined. Furthermore the modeling
approaches are sompared concerning model inputs and
model accuracy.
3.1 Comparison concerning identication issues
Unknown parameters of compressor and turbine model
have to be estimated iteratively by minimizing the model
error which is given by mathematical norm between the
calculated model outputs and measurements. The compressor parameters to be estimated are summarized in the
table 1 for the thermodynamic and uiddynamic approach.
The model parameters of the turbine are summarized in
the analog manner in the table 2 for both methods.
The parameters of the compressor model can be identied from measured adiabatic enthalpy with corrected
temperatures 1 and 2
, (13), (14) and , from the
corresponding thermodynamic respectively uiddynamic
calculation. The parameters from table 1 have to be estimated minimizing compressor model error

The thermodynamic model contains, in addition to constant parameters, two neuronal nets (, ,

and ( , ) of type LOLIMOT, which have to be parameterized in every iteration step. These models compose
of several local linear models, which are interpolated by
Gaussians, see Nelles (97). The amount of parameters for
a LOLIMOT net with inputs and local linear models is
dened by = ( +1)+2 . The number of parameters
of isentropic eciencies in thermodynamic model is shown
