Bertold Engels Academy VTG Turbocharger for Heavy Duty Commercial Diesel Applications with High Braking Performance 1
INTRODUCTION The requirements of modern truck engines increase with each step of the emission legislation
In the same way the charging system as a part of the air management system has to be improved
This leads to more and more complicated solutions such as Regulated – Two – Stage (R2S), combinations of super- and turbochargers (e
eBooster) and turbos with Variable Turbine Geometry (VTG)
In particular the VTG is a solution of highest interest because it is able to fulfil most of the required development objectives for commercial diesel engines as • Higher torque (boost pressure) at low engine speeds • Better transient response (drivabili
