Preface to the Supplement

The development in turbocharging of internal combustion engines

has proceeded so rapidly that the publishers and I have decided
to add a supplement to the book "Supercharging of Internal Com-
bustion Engines" published in 1978. Since the greatest progress
has been made in the field of turbocharging of automotive engines,
this supplement is confined to this area. When the first edition
of the German original "Auf ladung von Verbrennungsmotoren" was
published in 1975 turbocharging of automotive engines was insig-
nificant except for some types for racing drives. Today nearly
all large car manufacturing companies have turbocharged spark ig-
nition or Diesel engines for commercial vehicles on the market or
to be developed.

The author hopes that this supplement will be welcome as a useful

addition to the basic publication.

12. Problems of turbocharging of automotive engines
12.1 Petrol engines

As mentioned in section 2.3, the supercharging of spark ignition

aero-engines was already highly advanced at the time when they
were superseded by the gas turbine. During and after World War I,
the engines were mechanically supercharged, around World War 11
exhaust turbocharged. There was, however, little incentive to
supercharge automobile engines other than those in sports- and
racing cars, because it was simpler and ehe aper to obtain more
power by increasing the size of the engine.

The first exhaust-turbocharged spark ignition engines for motor

cars became commercially available in 1962. Even though a con:,~ider

able number of such engines, around 60 000 for the Chevrolet Cor-
vair alone /12.1/, were built in the USA between 1962 and 1966,
they were not a breakthrough. Apparently, acceleration was un-
satisfactory, because instead of an improvement in torque backup,
an increase in peak output from 74 to 110 kW, later to 130 kW
was preferred. As compared to aero engines, the turbocharging of
car engines poses some additional problems, while at the same
time some factors favouring the supercharging of aero engines are
lost, as mentioned already in section 11.1.

The additional requirements for car engines are:

- Torque backup with fallinq speed to overcome increased
resistance at inclines without excessive ge ar charging, or to
allow locking of transmissions with hydraulic torque converters
at low engine speeds
Fast response to an increase in power demand without noticeable
delay, i.e. quick rise in boost pressure
- Large engine speed range (see Fig. 12.1)
- Small space requirements,low weight and in par~icular low cost.

One condition for the successfull introduction of turbocharged

car engines is the availability of small inexpensive high-speed
turbochargers with high efficiencies even at small flow rates,
a wide operating range and reliability at high exhaust tempera-
tures. The development of rotors with backward swept blades has
led to an improvement in both operating range and efficiency.

V, ,/To/T,

Today, practically
all of the larger automobile manufacturers are developing turbo-
charged engines, even though commercial introduction is not rushed.
Some of the models presented at the International Automobile
Exhibition 1979 in Frankfurt were put on sale in 1980 only /12.3/.

As compared to the compression ignition engine, there are three

main obstacles to the reliable supercharging of spark ignition
engines for use in automobiles: combustion knock, exhaust temper-
ature and mixture control.

12.1.1 Measures dealing with combustion knock

The most common type of knock is caused by end gas explosion in
regionsof the combustion chamber to which the flame front has not
yet travelled. As the end gas is compressed and heated by the ad-
vancing flame front, the prereactions lead to a sudden combustion
in the end zone. Knocking combustion causes a noticeable increase
in heat transfer, which can destroy the components of the combus-

3
tion chamber which are already highly thermally loaded. The ten-
dency to knock can be reduced by retarded ignition timing, but
this reduces power and increases fuel consumption and exhaust
temperature.

Fig. 12.5 shows the relationship between compression ratio and

permissible boost pressure at the knock limit for a given engine,
indicating the necessity of a reduced compression ratio at larger
boost pressures. The resultant lowering of efficiency can only be
compensated by secondary measures such as optimization of mixture
control and ignition timing and by the relatively 10'..,rer friction
losses at higher mean effective pressures. Fig. 12.4, but even
more so Fig. 12.5 indicate the importance of charge air cooling.

For example, at the low speed of 2500 rer/min and an absolute
boost pressure of 1,5 bar, a compression ratio of 6 is possible
at the knock limit; with charge air cooling to 60 0 C this could be
increased to 8. Charge air cooling is also advantageous with re-
gard to power output and fuel consumption at high speeds because
of the permissible advance of ignition timing as shown in Fig.12.6.

Although charge air cooling in automobiles requires extra efforts,

there is a growing awareness that these efforts pay back in the
form of increased power and component life and of reduced fuel
consumption and emissions, unless there are other restrietions.
Such restrietions could be limited space not allowing an effective
installation of the charge air cooler in a given vehicle, or the
low performance of a charge air cooler in the free air flow at low
vehicle velocity and high output requirement, for example on long
slopes with heavy trailers. Despite these restrietions, it cannot
be overemphasized that heat transferred in the charge air cooler
does no longer have to be transferred in the engine to the cooling
water; that is to say, the sum of heat transferred in charge air
cooler and engine is constant for a given output. This rule has

5
been confirmed by many experiments. In a fresh design, it may
under certain circumstances even be advantageous to increase the
charge air cooler at the expense of the engine radiator, provided
that the cooling effect is sufficient under all operating condi-
tions. This is possible for example by means of a temperature-con-
trolled electrically driven cooling fan. The heat energy already
transferred in the charge air cooler has a beneficial effect on
the knock limit and the thermal loading, and thereby on the power
output and the engine reliability.

There are four different methods available for eooling the charge
air:
1. Charge air-water cooler in the cooling water eircuit of the
engine
2. Charge air-water cooler with aseparate eooling water circuit
3. Charge air-air cooler in front of or adjacent to the engine
radiator
4. Charge air-air cooler with separate fan powered by a boost-
driven air turbine (Fig. 12.7).

The cooling system has to be judged according to effectiveness,

size and weight, space availability, cost, reliability, mainte-
nance requirements and power requirement. The simplest system

6
according to 1, is also the least effective, even if the cooling
water coming from the radiator first passes through the charge
air cooler and only then through the oil cooler, if fitted, and
the engine. Investigations on a turbocharged truck engine /12.5/
have shown that method 3, is the most advantageous with regard
to cost effectiveness, followed by 4, which may have advantage of
flexibility when fitted into an already available vehicle type.

Optimization of air-fuel ratio and ignition timing are of prime

importance with regard to the complex interrelationship between
knocking combustion and ignition advance, mixture strength,
boost pressure, charge and cylinder temperature and the effect
of the variables on a power output, fuel consumption and exhaust
missions. Fig. 12.8 shows the wellknownrelationship between fuel
consumption at full power and air-fuel ratio at an ignition set-
ting retarded 4 0 from the knock limit. Fuel consumption is quite
sensitive to deviations, a rich mixture causing incomplete com-
bustion and a lean one slow burning.

Emission control laws in the USA and in Europe differ from each
other (they are more stringent in the USA, in particular as far
as NO is concerned). Exhaust emissions and fuel consumption cannot

7
be optimized simultaneously (see Fig. 12.9), and cars for the
American market therefore have to be equipped differently from
those in Europe. Usually, engines for the USA are built with
a tripie catalyser after the exhaust turbine and an oxygen probe,
a so-called lambda indicator in the exhaust gas stream /12.7/.
This probe controls the air-fuel ratio, keeping it to within
very narrow limits of stoichiometric, which allows emissions to
be reduced below the legal limits by means of the catalyser.
The US-versions are usually sold with a somewhat lower peak
output.

Present European emission standards do not necessitate the use of

a catalyser, but here too fuel consumption and emissions have to be
optimized. As knocking combustion must not occur under any
operating conditions, the ignition timing which is usually con-
trolled only by engine load (carburetor vacuum) and engine speed
(centrifugal control) must allow for a safety margin with regard to
the knock limit. This margin can be reduced with electronic ig-
nition timing (/12.8, 12.9, 12.10/), which takes into ac count fur-
ther parameters such as engine and air temperatures. A microcom-
puter calculates the optimum values of fuel rate and ignition
timing according to the parameters measured by the probes, using

8
a pre-programmed map that had been determined experimentally.
Part load operation with lean mixtures is thus possible, resulting
in redueed fuel eonsumption and exhaust emissions. Sehemes of
this kind are also possible for naturally aspirated engines, but
they are partieularly suitable for supereharged engines with a
wider range of eonditions from part to full load operation.
Further improvements going in the direetion of a elosed-Ioop eon-
trol to aehieve an optimization of the eomplex interaetions in
the spark ignition engine are investigated /12.11/.

12.1. 2 Problems of thermal loading

The temperature stresses in the turbine rotor assoeiated with
high exhaust temperatures ean be eheeked satisfaetorily by the
use of modern heat-resistant materials. The exhaust gas tempera-
tures of spark ignition engines are eonsiderably higher than
those of diesel engines, but the exhaust eontains little oxygen
and is therefore less eorrosive. Small radial turbines usually
have no bladed stator, the eorreet ineidenee angle at the rotor
tip being aehieved by the dimensioning of the inlet serolI.
Rather, problems with high temperatures may oeeur in the turbine
easing, the exhaust manifold or the bypass valve. A eomplete
separation of the exhaust gas from individual groups of eylinders
all the way up to the turbine rotor, i.e. pure pulse turboehar-
ging, is not yet possible beeause of the high exhaust temperatures.
Inlet serolls with double entry do not yet have suffieient
durability (thermal fraetures) /12.6/. Separating walls and lips,
whieh would keep the gas flows apart, are burned off beeause
there is no possibility for eooling /12.12/. Exhaust turboehar-
gers for spark ignition engines therefore operate with full
admission up to now. HO\\ever, if spaee allows one to collect the ex-
haust from groups of eylinders with a suitable firing order into
individual manifolds, it is advantageous to keep these manifolds
separate up to some point before the turbine entry /11.2,11.19/.
Based on developments for automative turbines, ceramie compo-
nents that can withstand the high temperatures are also being
developed for turboehargers.
For example, ceramic inlet easings would probably make pulse
turbocharging possible. A eonical diffusor irnrnediately after the
turbine would inerease its effieiency /12.6/. To counter the
increased heat flow in the engine eomponents, natrium eooled

9
valves for spark ignition engines, oil cooling of the piston by
a fixed jet and, if necessary, a larger cooling water pump to in-
crease the flow are used.

12.1.3 Control Problems

Unlike the diesel engine, the spark ignition engine is quantity-
controlled, requiring a throttle plate to control the charge
quantity. The throttle plate can be located either in front of or
after the charge compressor, in either case, there are advantages
and disadvantages. The advantage of a throttle in front of the
compressor is that the compressor will not surge when the throttle
is suddenly closed during gear changes or when the vehicle pushes
the engine. When the throttle is partly closed, the pressure level
before compressor is reduced, moving the operating point in the
compressor map for a given mass flow rate to the right and in-
creasing the turbocharger speed at power equilibrium between
turbine and compressor. Fig. 12.10 illustrates the difference in
turbocharger speeds for throttles in front of and after the com-
pressor. In the first case, the turbocharger runs at a higher

initial speed and accelerates better. With carburetor engines,
a throttle in front of the compressor has the following advan-
tages:
- The same system as with the naturally aspirated engine
can be used
The tuning of the carburetor is easier
- The turbulence in the crnpressor homogenizes the charge
- The evaporation of the fuel reduces the charge temperature.

However, the disadvantage of a throttle plate in front of the

compressor is that the latter must be absolutely oiltight; other-
wise, oil would be sucked into the engine at part load conditions.
This would result in loss of oil, fouling and, in particular,
unburned hydrocarbons in the exhaust gas, because the oil sucked
in would not burn completely. Carbon rings can seal the compres-
sor shaft oil-tight, but have the disadvantage of increased wear
and friction losses. If the carburetor is located after the
engine, it has to be pressure tight and is usually of a two-stage
design to simplify tuning.

If the throttle plate is placed after the compressor, labyrinth

seals with practically no wear can be used in the turbocharger.
To avoid compressor surge when closing the throttle, apart-load
discharge valve (recirculation valve) is often used which allows
part of the compressed air to return to the compressor intake.
The recirculation must not affect the metering of the air mass
flow rate; see Fig.12.11 There may also be an additional vacuum
limiter to prevent the backfiring of unburned lean mixture in the
exhaust system when the engine is being pushed by the vehycle.
No vacuum limiter is necessary if the ignition timing is greatly
advanced under these conditions, e.g. by means of electronic
timing.

An air recirculation valve, which is often integrated into the

turbocharger as shown in Fig. 12.12, is,according to Hiereth,
/12.2, 12.4/ unnecessary if the exhaust bypass is controlled by
the pressure in front of the throttle plate (see Fig. 12.13).
It seems, however, that this simplification depends not only on
such a control mechanism, but also on the position of the surge
line in the compressor map and on the design of the charge air
manifold.

Fig. 12.13 also introduces one to the control of the exhaust tur-
bine, which is absolutely necessary for automotive engines. As

13
already mentioned, the motor car puts high demands on the torque
characteristic and the acceleration of the engine, as weil as on
the speed and mass flow range of the compressor. The fundamental
problems posed by the exhaust turbocharing with regard to accele-
ration and torque characteristic, and methods to meet these re-
quirements were already discussed in sections 8.2, 8.3 and 8.4.
All motor car engines offered for sale at the moment use exhaust
bypass control; it appears that small turbochargers with variable
geometry are either unreliable or too expensive. With bypass con-
trol the turbocharger is designed for a flow rate corresponding
to an average engine speed; the compressor and in particular the
turbine are much smaller than would be sensible in order to achieve
maximum power at full engine speed. A small turbine flow area is
necessary not only with regard to the torque characteristic, but
also to obtain good acceleration. The effect of the turbine flow
area on the boost pressure is considerable /12.2/.

At full engine output, an uncontrolled turbocharger of this design

would overspeed and overboost, with all the consequences for the
loading of turbocharger and engine. f the various bypass arrange-
ments,such as discharging the air from a certain boost pressure
onwards, or bypassing the exhaust gas under the control of the
back or boost pressure, the first is no longer in use. As ex-
plained in publications such as /11.2/, the bypassing of exhaust gas
is thermodynamically advantageous, because it reduces the back
pressure at full load as compared to the discharging of air.
The back pressure, with exhaust bypass control at high engine
speeds usually higher than the boost pressure, increases the dis-
placement work of the piston and the amount of exhaust gas trapped
in the cylinder. This in turn increases the fuel consumption.

With exhaust bypass control, the turbine can be made smaller

because of the smaller flow rate, resulting in higher efficiences
and better acceleration from part-load conditions. In addition,
the turbine blading is frequently designed to give an unsymmetri-
cal efficiency characteristic with respect to u/co' slanted
towards higher efficiencies at small flow rates.

The exhaust bypass valve, also called waste gate, can be integra-
ted into the turbocharger or it can be attached to the exhaust

14
manifold. Garrett-AiResearch have developed two different rnethods
for the control of this valve (see Fig. 12.14), one for dry air
in the compressor (for diesel engines and petrol engines with
fuel injection into the intake man[old) and the other for layouts,
in which the carburetor is located in front of the compressor
/12.13/. In the first instance, the actuator of the waste gate is
integrated into the valve and located at the turbine casing; in
the second instance, the actuator is located on the compressor
casing and seperated from the valve.

Fig. 12.14 Exhaust turbocharger by Garrett AiResearch with integrated

waste gate and control pressure tap on the seroll. Dry and W8t versions
for air (left) and air-fuel mixture (right).

The diaphragm of the actuator, made of Viton, has only limited

heat resistance, and the valve, whether integrated or not,
should therefore be located in the air stream of the cooling fan
and be equipped with fins. It can also be useful to cool the
diaphragm by the means of air bled from the control line, as long
as this does not affect mixture control; the air must not contain
fuel. In the design for diesel engines shown in Fig. 12.15, the
cooling air passes through a bore in the valve shaft to the low-
pressure side and is discharged through a suitable passage together
with the exhaust gas.

The separate installation of the bypass valve offers the advantage

of better cooling in the air flow of the fan. The valve can also
be controlled by the engine back pressure instead of the boost
pressure. In this case, a longer control line becomes necessary
to allow the exhaust gas to cool down. As the rate of flow only
caused by leakage is very small, the cooling of the exhaust gas
poses no particular problems. Fig. 12.16 gives an example of a
bypass valve controlled by the back pressure, in which the con-
trolling pressure acts in the same direction as the back pressure
against the spring force. In addition, in this design for the
5-cylinder engine of the Audi 200 /12.19/, the static pressure at the
compressor inlet acts on the upper side of the diaphragm. For a
given total pressure, i.e. the ambient pressure, the static
pressure decreases with the rate of air flow so that the boost
pressure drops again with increasing engine speed as shown in
Fig. 12.17. Maximum boost is thus generated only in the region of

maximum torque. Aboost pressure rising with falling engine speed

can also be obtained by means of resonance pipes between compres~

sor and engine tuned to a low engine speed in addition to the

bypass control.

12.2 Diesel engines

Because of the differences already mentioned - no knock limit,
low exhaust temperatures, quality control - the supercharging of
motor car diesel engines is much simpler than that of petrol
engines. The same rules apply as far as turbocharger matching and
control are concerned. Because of the low exhaust temperatures,
pulse turbocharging combining suitable cylinders is possible.
Again, the large range of engine speeds makes waste gating
necessary. With regard to cost, manifold layout and space re-
quirements, only one bypass valve is usually employed. The branches
of the exhaust manifold are in this case combined be fore the tur-
bine, giving full admission to the turbine. If the torque
characteristic is more important than peak power, charge air
cooling is unnecessary.

To avoid smoke at low boost pressures, the fuel injection pumps

are equipped with aboost pressure-controlled fuel limiter.
Alternatively, the fuel limiter can also be controlled by the
absolute pressure to take into account the decreasing air density
at higher altitudes.

17
12.3 Advantages of supercharging motor car engines

The advantages claimed here are the same as for supercharging in

general: Reduced weight and space requirements for a given power
output as compared to the naturally aspirated engine, lower cost
per unit output, higher efficiency for diesel engines in particu-
lar, larger operating range for a given engine, smaller radiator
for a given output, reduced noise and emissions. The two factors
mentioned first initially carried the greatest weight, so that
supercharging was introduced in the engines of racing and
sports cars. A small turbocharger with speeds up to 150000 rev/min
boosting the engine output by 40 kW to 110 kW weighs about 6 kg.
Mounted directly onto the exhaust manifold, it requires no sup-
port. Despite the additional waste gate and the extra air and
exhaust manifolds, the ratio of additional power to additional
weight is much more favourable than the corresponding ratio of
naturally aspirated engine. Volkswagen /12.14/ state that the
mass-to-power ratio of a 1.5 liter naturally aspirated diesel
engine with an output of 37 kW is 3 kg/kW, whereas for the same
engine turbocharged to 55 kW it is only 2,4 kg/kW. The latter
engine has a turbocharger with integrated waste gate, but no
charge air cooler.

Statements about savings are more difficult to come by. Small

turbochargers manufactured in large numbers are by themselves
quite cheap, but the necessary alterations to the manifolds
and the engine (such as oil-jet piston cooling) and possible
alterations in the engine compartment affect manufacturing costs.

The penetration of turbocharged engines in motor vehicles has

been given aboost by new emission standards and the energy
crisis. Measures to limit the emissions of petrol engines by means
of lean mixtures and retarded ignition timing have resulted in
apower reduction that can be more than compensated with turbo-
charging. More expensive engines with larger displacements are
therefore not necessary. For economic reasons, too, operation
with rich mixtures to obtain maximum power should be avoided.

Supercharged petrol engines, too, may have a lower fuel consump-

tion than naturally aspirated engines of equal power because of the

18
reduced friction losses of a smaller engine, particularly in the
lower output range (see Fig. 12.18). At full load, fuel con-
sumption is not always lower because of the compromise between
fuel consumption and acceleration presently made. A small turbo-
charger or a narrow inlet scroll improve acceleration, but

increase fuel consumption at full load. At part load, the

turbocharged engine is always more efficient; at full load, it
all depends on the design compromise.

Fuel economy is measured on the road, exhaust emission in a

standardized test. As a rule, the supercharged engine leads
in both measures; see for example Tables 12.1 and 12.11.
In Fig. 12.19, the fuel consumptions of two naturally aspirated
petrol engines of different outputs are compared with those of
two diesel engines, one supercharged, the other not, but all
mounted in the same vehicle. Clearly, consumption of the turbo
diesel is considerably reduced at higher speeds.

In F ig. 12.9, the difference in fuel consumption between opti-

mizing with respect to fuel economy or emissions had already
been illustrated. Even the emissions-optimized engine showed a
slightly reduced consumption at part loads. In addition,

Table 12.111 indicates that the consumption-optimized super-

charged engine has lower CO emissions even without a catalyzer.
The large amount of hydrocarbons was traced in this case to
an oil leak in the compressor. Noise emissions, too, have been
reported by several workers to be reduced with supercharging,
particularly as far as exhaust noise is concerned. The turbine
muffles the lower frequencies which are otherwise more difficult
to control. Thus, a simpler muffler with decreased flow resistance
may be used.

As far as acceleration is concerned, the comparison has to be

based on engines of equal maximum output in the same vehicle,

21
not on the same engine in a naturally aspirated and a super-
charged version. The lagging of the boost pressure in the turbo-
charged engine cannot be avoided altogether. The pick-up of the
boost pressure depends mainly on the turbine design, i.e. its
flow area and the inertia of the rotor. According to Hiereth
/12.2/, the lag might be acceptable if the pressure pick-up was
not delayed by more than 0.5 seconds. A comparison between the
accelerations of a naturally aspirated and a turbocharged engine
is not unfavourable for the latter (see Fig. 12.20). According

to /12.8/, the lag in boost pressure and output may even be

advantageous, because the danger of spinning of the driving wheels
is reduced for powerful cars. It is likely that the driver has
to adjust to the response of the turbocharged engine; after this
adjustment, he will not be aware of any disadvantages.

Volkswagen have shown with their experimental vehicle /12.15/,

that the turbocharged diesel engine can reach good values of fuel
consumption and exhaust and noise emissions. The combustion
process was optimized for emissions, nitrogen oxides were reduced
by means of exhaust recirculation, and the engine was fully
enclosed. The practical application of such an optimized engine
is, however, still hampered by considerably higher production
costs.

12.4 Examples of current design

12.4.1 Petrol engines

From among the many types of turbocharged engines presently manu-

factured or developed, only a few examples can be briefly des-
cribed here, preferably those of European origin for which tech-
nical publications are available. Further details can be found
in the publications mentioned.

The company of Dr.h.c. Porsche Ltd. initially developed turbo-

charged engines for racing cars. The model 917 was mentioned as
an example in the first edition of this book. In 1975, the model
924 was introduced with a watercooled, naturally aspirated 2-1itre
engine of 92 kW/11.12/. The demand for greater engine power lead
to the 924 Turbo, Fig. 12.21, which is produced in a European
version of 125 kW using premium gasoline and an American version
of 110 kW using regular unleaded gasoline and an exhaust cataly-
ser to meet the more demanding emissions standards. The exhaust
turbocharger by KKK type K 26 has an integrated air recirculation
valve and aseparate exhaust waste gate as shown in Fig. 12.12.
The additional output of 33 kW is obtained with an extra mass
of 29 kg (turbocharger including recirculation valve, additional
manifold, no charge air cooler) .

production racing cars model 935 with 2857 cm displacement and
441 kW output, and model 936 with 2142 cm 3 and 382 kW were deve-
loped /12.16/. Both engines have turbochargers for each bank as
shown in Fig. 12.22, with turbines triple-pulse operated under
full admission. The model 935 has air-water charge air cooling,
the model 936 an air-air cooler.

The Swedish company Saab were the first to produce a passengercar

with a turbocharged petrol engine for the European market. The
models 99 turbo and 900 turbo have a four-cylinder engine of
1985 cm 3 displacement and compression ratio 7.2:1, producing
106 kW at 5000 rev/min; see Fig.12.23 /12.17/. The torque peaks
at 3000 rev with 225 Nm, falling to 190 Nm at 5500 rev/min. A
Garret-AiResearch turbocharger with integrated waste gate con-
trolled by the engine back pressure is used. The four cylinders
have a common exhaust manifold for constant-pressure turbochar-
ging. Maximum boost is 0.7 bar gauge; the engine is equipped
with natrium-cooled valves and mechanical fuel injection (Bosch
K- Jetronic).

At the IAA in Frankfurt in 1979, both Bayerische Motorenwerke

(BMW) and Audi NSU Auto Union presented turbocharged models for
sale in 1980. The BMW engine has six cylinders of 3.2 litre dis-
placement, producing a peak output of 185 kW at 5200 rev/min for

24

the European marked without exhaust reactor; see Fig. 12.24 /12.18/.
Peak torque is 380 Nm at 2600 rev/min, falling to 340 Nm at full
speed. The exhaust manifold is shared by all six cylinders.
The KKK turbocharqer is not combined with the waste qate: for retter coolinq,
the latter is attachEd to the exhaust manifold and controlled by the
boost pressure picked up at the compressor spiral casing. The
charge air, leaving the compressor downward, passes through a
charge air cooler placed in the air flow, the throttle and the
air distributor into six resonater pipes of equal length. In order
to avoid compressor surge, an air recirculation valve is placed
in front of the throttle. Fig. 12.25 illustrates the flow scheme
of air and exhaust gas. The charge air is cooled by more than
40 0 C at the higher speeds. The operating point on the compressor

The engine is equipped with Bosch L-Jetronic injection, which

serves three additional functions on the turbocharged engine:
Overspeeding cut-off, prevention of backfiring in the exhaust
pipe during deceleration down to speeds of 1200 rev/min, and over-
boosting control, all by cutting off the impulses to the fuel ih-
jection valves. Fig. 12.27 is a sectioned isometrie drawing of the
turbocharged Audi five-cylinder engine /12.19/. With few exceptions,
the components of this 2.144 litre engine are identical with those

five-cylinder engine by Audi, rrodel 200 /12.19/

of the naturally aspirated engine: The crank case requires some ad-
ditional machining in order to attach the oil jets for piston
cooling, among other things. The bowl of the piston is enlarged
to reduce the compression ratio to 7:1, and the exhaust valves are
natrium-cooled. The exhaust manifold, shown in Fig. 12.28, is cast
in one piece of austenitic modular iron with an additional flange
for the waste gate, and contains separate channels for cylinders
1, 2 + 5 and 3 + 4. Thermal expansion had to be taken into ac count

in this design. The channels are separate until immediately in

front of the turbine, narrowing down to produce a pulse-converter
effect. The turbocharger by KKK, type K 26, has neither acharge
air cooler nor an air recirculation valve. The engine has con-
tinuous fuel injection (Bosch K-Jetronic).

The separate waste gate is attached to the exhaust manifold; its

design, shown in Fig. 12.16, and its control and boost characteri-
stic were already described in section 12.1.3 (Fig. 12.17). As
usual, the American version differs from the European version
because of the unleaded petrol and tighter emission standards,
having a so-called lambda transducer, a catalytic exhaust reactor

and a lower boost limit. A comparison of the two versions is given
in table 12.IV. The only passenger car engine with so-called
combined turbocharging to become known is the re-design of the
3-litre 6-cylinder BMW engine by ALPINA Burkhard Bovensiepen KG,
Buchloe. It produces the notable output of 221 kW, or nearly 100 hp
per litre /12.8, 12.20/. The arrangement of the resonator pipes and
the receiver volume can readily be seen in Fig. 12.29.

Fig. 12.29 Arrangement of

An exhaust turbocharger by KKK type K 27 is used; the separate

waste gate reduces the thermal problems. In contra-distinction
to the usual arrangement, the air flow controlling the fuel in-
jection is mete red after the compressor to keep the inlet pressure
loss low. The compressor is more sensitive to throttling on the
inlet than on the outlet; also, the denser air after the compres-
sor produces larger control forces on the stagnation plate or
baffle. Fig. 12.30 illustrates the power and torque characteri-
stics of the 3 litre ALPINA engine, both with tuned intake mani-
fold and with turbocharging combined with resonator. Fig. 12.31
shows the difference in acceleration.

12.4.2 Diesel Engines

The turbocharging of passenger car diesel engines advances only

slowly, even though it causes fewer problems than that of petrol
engines and had been used early in diesel racing cars in the USA.

turally aspirated engine of 59 kW at 4000 rev/rnin is raised to

85 kW at 4200 rev/min by means of turbocharging without charge air
cooling. The small size of the turbocharger stands out in compa-
rison to the air filter.

The same engine, but with charge air cooling as a "record engine",
was used in the experimental vehicle C 111 111 in order to prove
the reliability of the engine through aseries of endurance world
records /12.22, 12.23/.

The output and torque characteristics of the naturally aspirated

engine OM617, of the turbocharged version OM617A and of the
record engine are shown in Fig. 12.33. The engine has a common
exhaust manifold for all five cylinders, a number which is un-
favourable for pulse turbocharging. The production engine has a
Garret AiResearch turbocharger type T03 with integrated waste
gate, but there is no waste gate on the different turbocharger of

the record engine in order to produce the greater output.

The difference in output and in torque in particular is clearly
shown in Fig. 12.33. In the production engine, the waste gate li-

31
mits the boost pressure ratio to 1.75, but in the record engine it
can reach a value of 3.3. Without wastegating, this pressure ratio
is obtained at a back pressure ratio P3/ P 4 = 2.7 (Fig. 12.34).
The fuel consumption of the turbocharged version is in all tests
lower than that of the naturally aspirated engine, and the same
applies to CO and HC emissions /12.21/. The slightly increased
emission of NO x could possibly be reduced below that of the natu-
rally aspirated engine, if charge air cooling were used (see section
8.6.1 and Fig. 8.27). The engine type OM 617 A-Turbo was initially
available only in the USA, but is sold everywhere from 1980 on-
wards.

The 1.5 litre turbocharged diesel engine of the Volkswagen Golf

is included here, even though it is not yet in production. Reports
containing detailed and remarkable test results are already
available; as far as is known, this is presently the smallest tur-
bocharged diesel engine with the highest output relative to its
displacement. The vehicles existing with this turbocharged engine
are all research objects, developed in conjunction with the U.S.

32
Department of Trade (DOT) or the German Federal Ministry of Re-
search and Technology (BMFT) in order to demonstrate the technical
feasability. In addition to the publications /12.14, 12.15/ al-
ready mentioned, areport is also available by the DOT /12.24/
describing the results of tests regarding fuel consumption,
exhaust emissions, noise level, top speed, acceleration and so on,
of several prototype VW diesel engines with and without turbo-
charging that have been installed in vehicles of various sizes and
weights.

The four-cylinder engine with swirl combustion chamber (see Fig.

12.35) has a bore of 70 mm and a stroke of 80 mm and is equipped
with a Garret-AiResearch turbocharger type T 3 with integrated
waste gate. The output is 55 kW, an increase of 50 % over the
naturally aspirated engine with 50 hp (37 kW). Stiff emissions
regulations, for example the NO x limit of 1 g/mile valid in the

Fig. 12.35 View of the Golf

turbo diesel engine by vw

USA from 1980 onwards, require a slight reduetion of output be-

cause exhaust gas recirculation is used. Table 12.V summarizes
the main spezifieations of the fully enelosed Golf engine with
exhaust gas recireulation. It remains an open question whether the
NO x limit could also be met by charge air eooling instead of
exhaust gas recirculation which has some drawbacks regarding fuel
consumption and CO emissions.

Another turbocharged diesel engine already available commercially

is the XD 2S by Peugeot(Fig. 12.36). The fourcylinder engine of

94 mm bore, 83 mm stroke and 2304 cm 3 displacement has an output

34
torque of 180 Nm at 2000 rev/min is 50 % higher than that at full
speed /12.25/.

The engine is equipped with a Garret AiResearch turbocharger type

T03 with integrated wastegate that limits the boost to 0.6 bar
gauge. All of the Peugeot diesel engines use the swirl chamber
combustion system Ricardo-Comet Mk 5.

The Italian company Stabilimenti Meccanica VM in Cento which

originally built mainly diesel engines for industrial use, has
now developed aseries of engines with 4,5 and 6 cylinders of be-
tween 1995 and 3589 cm 3 displacement which in their turbocharged
HT versions are intended for installation in passenger cars /12.26/.
The smallest four-cylinder turbocharged diesel Type 488 HT with a
bore of 88 mm and a displacement of 1995 cm 3 produces an output of
63 kW at 4300 rev/min and a peak torque of 260 Nm at 2500 rev/min.
The engines have KKK turbochargers with integrated wastegates and
Bosch distributor-type injection pumps. A view of the HR 488 HT
destined for the Alfa Romeo "Alfetta" is given in Fig.12.37.

Other turbocharged diesel engines for passenger cars are under

development, such as those BMW are developing: alone a 2.4 litre
engine and another one together with Steyer-Daimler-Puch and the
AVL of Prof. List /12.27/.
