An analysis of types of automobile turbocharger in the present, past and future, as well as their impact on the engine system

Abstract

This article analyzes the development and future trends of turbocharging technology in the automotive industry, highlighting its impact on engine efficiency and emission control. Originally used to increase power in aviation and motorsports, turbochargers have evolved into critical tools for improving fuel efficiency and reducing carbon dioxide emissions in modern automobiles. Key innovations such as variable geometry turbines (VGTs) and electric turbochargers (E-Turbos) are discussed in the context of meeting stringent environmental regulations such as Euro-6 and Euro-7. The article also discusses the increasing role of turbocharging in hybrid and hydrogen engines, emphasizing its ability to provide a downsizing of internal combustion engines without compromising performance. Challenges related to material durability, cooling and intelligent control systems are discussed, as well as the continuing need for technological advances. Summarizing, the article concludes that continuous innovation in turbocharging is necessary to achieve future performance and environmental goals in the automotive sector
