Comparison of turbo compounding technoligies on gasoline and diesel engines

This paper presents a parametric study and comparison of turbocompound gasoline engine with diesel engine based on analysis done in previous papers. Turbocompounding is an important technique to recover waste heat from engine exhaust and reduce CO_2 emission, improving fuel economy. By the time detected one of the biggest problems for IC engines is pollution. Downsizing studies are popular at the industry for the moments to get emission and fuel consumption decreased. Even if the racing industry gets involved in this trend having more efficient and more green racing vehicles is quite important for saving environment. Powertrain works with supercharged internal combustion engine by co-operation of two electric motors MGU-H (Motor-Generator Unit-Heat) and MGU-K (Motor-Generator Unit-Kinetic). It is also seen in passenger, light and heavy commercial vehicles with diesel engines using turbocompounding technology to decrease the pollution. The present paper compares the outcomes which were shown in previous papers and demonstrate the better performance in terms of greenhouse effect and pollution as well as engine power generation performance.
