Forced Induction Technologies in an IC Engine: A Review

This study has been undertaken to show the performance enhancement of engines using different Forced induction technologies. Forced induction technology like turbocharging and supercharging can enhance the performance of an internal combustion engine by compressing inlet air charge, allowing full engine power to be produced efficiently. As the fuel economy and greenhouse emission standards are projected to be far more stringent globally, the use of a Forced induction engine in passenger cars and light-duty trucks has become an inevitable trend within the automotive industry. A turbocharger system can effectively improve the power and torque of an engine, but turbo hysteresis exists. A mechanical supercharging system can boost at low speed, but the efficiency is lower. An electric supercharger can effectively improve the intake air at the early stage of accelerated working conditions, however, an electric supercharger will consume the engine power. The addition of Forced induction technologies to an IC engine helps with the scope of downsizing it. This review brings forward all the aspects of Forced induction technologies

Test Equipment Adding Electric Supercharger on Injection Machine for Biofuel Optimization

One of the problems that occur in our earth is air pollution and the depletion of fossil fuel stocks. Researchers want to make research on how the fuel burns completely, so that the resulting exhaust gas is environmentally friendly. In addition, this research is expected as an education and comparison before and after the turbofan is given. This study will control the AFR (Air Fuel Ratio) in the intake air to get the right ratio of fuel to air stoichiometry. By controlling the air intake into the engine and adding a turbofan using the PID method. The way the turbofan works is using the lamba sensor as system input, then the value of the lamba sensor is entered into the PID method. From the PID value will determine the speed of the brushless motor which aims to get the best AFR. By looking at the lambda sensor output which is close to the setpoint of 0.5, it is expected to produce a more perfect mixture of air and gasoline.

Optimal hybrid drive system architecture exploration considering performance index of 48V mild HEV

The 48V hybrid system has mostly adopted parallel hybrid system architecture. In the parallel hybrid system, various architecture can be derived depending on the location of the motor. In this paper, we explored a hybrid system architecture considering one or two motors and 48V electric supercharger and derived the optimal architecture by comparing the performance of each architecture. Performance of the hybrid system is mostly evaluated as fuel economy. However, since the hybrid system has increasingly been applied to various types of vehicles with different purpose of the operation, another performance index for evaluating a hybrid system is needed. Therefore, in this paper, we introduced an additional performance index to evaluate the hybrid electric drive system and used it to derive the optimal architecture of the hybrid electric drive system. We used Dynamic programming (DP) to evaluate each architecture and DP simulation was performed in the Matlab environment.
