Hydraulic turbine assisted turbocharger system

摘要: A very high efficiency, speed radial inflow hydraulic turbine driven axial flow supercharger compressor for discharging compressed air directly into the inlet of a standard turbocharger supplying pressure ratio to an internal combustion engine. fluid pump by engine provides drive turbine. All embodiments include features prevent foaming at intake pump. preferred embodiment includes single-stage configuration combined with that can produce total up 4.75. The in two-stage configuration, 5.5. Choice using or would depend on boost requirement particular In pressurized driving is provided engine-driven high-pressure accumulator charged During typical “stop and go” situations, energy decelerating vehicle whenever possible, thus improving fuel economy vehicle. embodiment, when not needed because sufficient alone, bypass valve opened controller unloading sequence opening clutch disconnecting from drive. When compressor, connect first then sequentially starts closing required amount Each several utilize plastic-metal wheel (similar described Applicant's '286 patent which plastic portion other than blades solidly anchored within metal containing wheel. superchargers present invention immediate response demand increased re-circulated gases will dramatically reduce emission particulate matter nitrous oxides during steady state especially low acceleration bus truck diesel engines.
