Audi’s principle of downsizing: “ Forced induction replaces displacement ” One twin-scroll turbocharger per cylinder bank compresses the fresh air. From each pair of cylinders, the exhaust ports lead separately to a manifold and the turbocharger housing; they are not combined until immediately ahead of the turbine.

The VTES unit (inset) and installed in the AVL VW Passat demonstrator. When applied to a radically downsized 1.2-liter liter turbocharged engine, VTES delivers in excess of a 50% increase in torque at engine speeds below 3,000rpm, more than compensating for insufficient power from the exhaust turbine. in Click to enlarge.

Since 2010, all Sprinters in the US have been powered by BlueTEC diesel engines, marking the first use of BlueTEC technology, with its selective catalytic reduction (SCR) exhaust aftertreatment system, in the commercial van market here. The two overhead camshafts actuate 16 intake and exhaust valves. The optional 3.0L

For the 2013 XF and XJ lineup, Jaguar is adding two new downsized forced induction gasoline powerplants: 3.0-liter The turbine housing for the low inertia turbocharger is integrated with the lightweight, thin-walled exhaust manifold, shortening the engine and catalyst warm up times and reducing emissions. liter V6 Supercharged and 2.0-liter

liter turbocharged gasoline engine has a combination water-cooled cylinder head, integrated exhaust manifold and twin-scroll turbocharger. To minimize turbo lag, the four-into-two exhaust manifold system pairs cylinders according to their expansion or compression stroke to reduce pumping losses and eliminate exhaust gas interference.

The alternative-fuel car evolved to reduce exhaust emissions and other problems derived from burning fossil fuels. Globally, billions of people are using this ancient grid as installed, but the enormous potential of the grid is untapped—we could be getting much more energy from it. by Professor Andrew Alfonso Frank.
