New Hybrid Turbochargers Solutions for Special Military Vehicles with Internal Combustion Engines

Abstract

The internal combustion engines performance can be increase. The residual gases can be recovered through turbo charging systems because is an important reserve of exhaust gas energy, which can be capitalized. The turbo charging solution is one of the most popular technical solutions for increasing the energy performance of internal combustion engines. The solutions proposed for the theoretical and experimental research is the hybrid turbocharger. The hybrid turbocharger has a double function: to compress the fresh air and to generate electric energy for the vehicle. The compressed fresh air is compress by the rotor wheel of the compressor. The generator which produces the electrical energy is linearly coupled to the rotor on the compressor shaft outside zone. The electrical energy can be used for consumption of the military vehicles or can be stored in to the battery of the vehicle. The military vehicle must have a internal combustion engine or a hybrid engine equipped with a hybrid turbocharger. The article aim is to present the results of the hybrid turbocharger. The simulation was realised with the AMESim Software developed by Siemens. To simulate the exhaust gas energy was used a CIMAT test bed which can provides high pressure air.

Review of the Integration of Hybrid Electric Turbochargers for Mass-Produced Road Vehicles

“…Here are some ways to improve HETs: concerning the improved battery technology, the battery used to power the electric motor in HETs has a significant impact on the performance and efficiency of the system. Improving the technology used in the battery, such as using more advanced materials, can result in improved energy density and a more compact battery design [27]. This can result in better performance, increased efficiency, and a reduction in overall weight.…”
