Abstract

The primary purpose of supercharging, nowadays universally employed in diesel engines, is the boost in power output without increase of speed. This is accomplished by increasing the engine air-supply (density) through compression in an external compressor, thereby facilitating increase in fueling. By far, the most popular and successful version of supercharging is the exhaust gas turbocharging. Here, the power required to drive the compressor is provided by a turbine that utilizes (part of) the available exhaust gas energy leaving the cylinders. When designing a turbocharged diesel engine, greatest care has to be given to the matching between engine and turbocharger and between fuel injection and airsupply/motion. These two interrelated optimizations are usually accomplished for steady-state operation but they are really put to the test during transients, where both the engine and the turbocharger are called upon to operate far from their design point conditions.
