Fuel Economy Fuel is typically one of the largest expenses for freight haulers End users are very motivated to reduce fuel expense; 1-year payback on fuel saving technologies is attractive to end user NHTSA fuel economy regulation shadows EPA regulation
HD Diesel Supercharger System Description Engine Downspeeding with Super-Turbo (or Turbo-Super) Boosting System Downspeeding reduces CO2 and saves fuel Supercharger enables better downspeeding • Instantaneous boost during low-rpm and transient events improves performance and enables more downspeeding • Allows turbo to be optimized for steady-state cruise efficiency
Supercharger Bypass Valve • Manages SC boost • Controlled by ECU Supercharger • Provides boost when turbo lags • Allows turbo to boost at steady-state for peak efficiency
Application-Specific Approaches Supercharger in linehaul applications (cruise-intensive cycles) Enables turbo optimization for max efficiency at cruise •
Currently, turbo design is compromised by competing objectives: fast response vs. peak efficiency
•
Supercharger can provide fast response, allowing turbo design to focus on peak cruise efficiency
Increased engine downspeeding at cruise
Supercharger in vocational applications (highly transient cycles) • Aggressive downspeeding during vehicle acceleration • Better air-fuel ratio control and EGR rate control during transients • Improved drivability
Supercharged Diesel Demonstrator Engine Downspeeding with Performance
Objective Demonstrate engine downspeeding with good performance • Supercharger’s instantaneous boost compensates for turbo lag • Downspeeding is achieved while meeting customers’ expectations for pedal response
Downspeeding with Performance 450 RPM Downspeeding Event Test data from T800 0-35 mph acceleration 2 repetitions of each case at Marshall track 450 rpm downspeeding
Eaton GT Power simulations indicate approx. 2.4% / 100rpm at highway cruise conditions
Turbo optimization Eaton / FEV simulations show 1-2% MPG improvement by changing VGT to FGT Industry experts suggest additional 1-2% MPG from new FGT optimized for this application
Downspeeding with Performance The Super-Turbo system in this vehicle is not optimized – better results are possible Turbo-Super is probably a better architecture • Allows a smaller supercharger to be used (less power consumption) • Enables mid-loop EGR (potential to reduce pumping loss)
Turbocharger should be redesigned for peak device efficiency and BSFC Supercharger control algorithms should be improved for peak fuel economy and better “handoff” to turbo
