Turbochargers under scrutiny

摘要

At a CIMAC Day sometime ago some very interesting discussions took place on the problems with turbochargers by a panel of experts and users, and chaired by Prof Nikolaos Kyrtatos of the Technical University Athens, who was CIMAC Vice-President for Working Groups. Each panellist was invited to air his company's view on: 'Performance, efficiency and reliability for modern engine systems — a compatible triad for turbochargers?' Aspects like degradation in service, transient response requirements and future developments were explored.
