Definitions
- the present invention relates to a turbocharger for an internal combustion engine, particularly a sequential turbocharger .
- turbocharger The performance of a turbocharger can be improved, and specifically its efficient operating range can be widened, by incorporating a variable geometry device, as is well known in this technical field.
- variable geometry device As is well known in this technical field.
- Such devices are complex and expensive.
- turbochargers can be used to provide improved performance if two (or more) are arranged to be brought into operation sequentially to produce a variable capacity system.
- performance of a sequential turbocharger under certain operating conditions is poor, in both the steady state and in transient performance, because a discontinuity occurs during switching from single to twin turbocharger operation, and back. This discontinuity appears in the steady state when the second turbocharger switches in, and also in the transient state as the second turbocharger accelerates up to operating speed.
- turbocharging arrangement comprising a first stage and a second stage turbocharger, the first and second stages being arranged to operate in sequence, the first stage turbocharger comprising a turbine having a turbine bypass valve.
- a bypass valve is otherwise known as a wastegate.
- the size of the bypass valve is chosen to produce a smooth transition from single to twin turbocharger operation.
- the gas bypassing the first stage turbine is used to accelerate the second stage turbocharger turbine during a load/speed change. This has the effect of reducing, and preferably negating, the transient discontinuity.
- Electronic control of the diverted gas is preferable but the bypass valve or wastegate can be controlled by the pressure generated by the turbocharger compressor.
- a turbocharging arrangement can result in improved steady state output from the engine over a wide operating range . It can also result in smoother changeovers from one to two turbocharger operation and reduce, or eliminate, the transient drop m air supply when the second turbocharger is switched in.
- Figure 1 is a graph illustrating the performance of turbocharging arrangements according to the prior art and according to the present invention
- Figure 2 is a schematic illustration of a turbocharging arrangement according to the prior art, operating at low engine load/speed, in the steady state;
- Figure 3 is a schematic illustration of a turbocharging arrangement according to the present invention, operating at low to medium engine load/speed, in the steady state;
- Figure 4 is a schematic illustration of a turbocharging arrangement according to the prior art operating at medium to high engine load/speed, in the steady state;
- Figure 5 is a schematic illustration of a turbocharging arrangement according to a first embodiment of the invention operating full engine load/speed, in the steady state;
- FIG. 6 is a schematic illustration of a turbocharging arrangement according to a second embodiment of the invention, in the transient state.
- the turbocharger compressor output shown as "Engine Boost Pressure” is plotted against engine load/speed.
- Three graphs are shown:
- a single stage turbocharger according to the prior art .
- a turbocharging arrangement according to the present invention.
- graph C i.e. that according to the present invention, illustrates the more effective turbocharger of the three shown in Figure 1.
- the engine boost pressure rises quickly and smoothly with engine load/speed.
- Figure 2 illustrates a conventional turbocharging arrangement operating at low engine load/speed and thus with only one of the two turbochargers operating.
- the turbochargers are shown schematically at 1 and 2, and are connected in parallel . Air intake through the compressor Cl of the first turbocharger 1, passes through valve 3 to become the air inlet 4 to engine 5. Exhaust gas
- valve 7 to the turbine inlet Tl of turbo charger 1 and is expelled.
- valves 3 At low engine load/speed turbocharger 2 is not operating because valves 3,
- Turbocharger 2 is therefore idle because no gas is diverted to it .
- the operation is thus equivalent to a single small turbine turbocharger and the performance graph is the first segment of line B (before point X) in Figure 1.
- FIG. 3 illustrates a turbocharging arrangement according to one aspect of the present invention, operating at low to medium engine load/speeds.
- This has a conventional wastegate first stage turbocharger 1, to allow some pressure release to atmosphere.
- Turbocharger 1 is wastegated by means of bypass valve 8 operating to divert some of the exhaust gas away from the outlet Tl of turbocharger 1 to atmosphere .
- bypass valve 8 At low to medium engine loads/speeds only first stage turbocharger 1 is operating but some of the exhaust gas is diverted by bypass valve 8 to outlet valve 9, and hence to atmosphere.
- Figure 4 illustrates a typical prior art arrangement for a sequential turbocharger, as the engine load/speed increases to medium to high.
- valve 7 switches mode so that it operates to divert some of the exhaust gas coming from engine exhaust 6 to turbine Tl of turbocharger
- FIG. 5 illustrates the operation of turbochargers arranged according to the first aspect of the present invention operating at full engine speed. Both turbochargers 1 and 2 are brought into operation since valve
- turbocharger 1 via bypass valve 8 and to turbine T2 of turbocharger 2.
- turbocharger 1 is operating in wastegated mode because valve 9 allows gas to exit to atmosphere as shown by the arrows. This effectively smooths the transition between single turbocharger operation and twin turbocharger operation and thus provides the smoother curve shown at C in Figure 1.
- FIG. 6 illustrates a second embodiment of the present invention at transient load/speed change. Initially turbocharger 1 is in full operation but turbocharger 2 is idle. As engine load, or speed increase is required, valve
- control of the bypass valve or wastegate 8 on the first stage turbocharger 1 has the effect of controlling the boost pressure of both single and two-stage operation and reduces the steady state discontinuity or "hole" .
- the size of the wastegate passage must be matched to both turbine housings for optimum performance .
- the short-term direction of wastegate bypass gas into the second stage turbocharger prior to operation of the second stage turbocharge causes the second turbine to accelerate up to speed before the unit is fully switched in. This reduces the discontinuity for transient operation .
