Mercedes-AMG is implementing electrical exhaust fuel turbochargers in its subsequent car technology. The turbocharger options an electronically managed electrical motor which drives the compressor wheel earlier than the wheel takes over the exhaust fuel circulate.
Electrical exhaust fuel turbocharger from Mercedes-AMG
The electrical exhaust fuel turbocharger was developed in partnership with Garrett Movement. The know-how comes from System 1 and is meant to mix the advantages of a small turbocharger with quick response instances that achieves comparatively low peak efficiency and of a big turbocharger with excessive peak efficiency however delayed responses.
A slim electrical motor measuring round 4 cm is built-in straight on the charger shaft between the turbine wheel on the exhaust aspect and the compressor wheel on the fresh-air aspect. The electronically managed electrical motor drives the compressor wheel earlier than the wheel takes over the exhaust fuel circulate, which considerably improves responsiveness even at idle speeds and throughout the complete engine-speed vary. The turbocharger is powered by a 48-volt on-board electrical system and may obtain speeds of as much as 170,000 rpm, which permits a really excessive air circulate charge. Together with the electrical motor and energy electronics, the turbocharger is related to the combustion engine’s cooling circuit.
