The electric biturbo system comprises a classic exhaust turbocharger (mono- or bi-turbo) working together with a supplemental, electric-powered compressor arranged in series and powered by a separate 48-volt electrical system. Note the position of the single exhaust gas turbocharger and the electrically driven compressor.
Exhaust cooling starts with the computer-optimized exhaust valve shape and is further enhanced by the integrated exhaust manifold and cylinder head design that uses the same water jacket to lower exhaust gas temperature entering the turbochargers to further improve reliability and performance.
Absent engine and exhaust sounds, wind noise will be more noticeable inside the cabin of an electric vehicle. Additionally, the wind tunnel’s aerodynamic test capabilities will help increase the range and performance of the company’s future full-electric vehicles. Heat exchanger temperature range. • mph (310 km/h).
