Improvement of a turbocharger by-pass valve and impact on performance, controllability, noise and durability.
While engine boundary conditions have become harsher, fine, accurate and sustainable control of boost is challenging the way mechatronics components are engineered. This paper describes key elements of the kinematic tools developed by Honeywell Turbocharger Technologies in order to optimize turbocharger control solutions. It includes details on CAE applications such as fluid dynamics, flexible multi-body dynamics and thermo-mechanical simulations and how they can be linked together to analyse a complete system.
