IMPROVING THERMAL BALANCE IN INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE USING THE TURBOGENERATOR

摘要

Exhaust losses have a significant share in the total energy balance of the internal combustion engine. The use of exhaust energy can be one of the most effective ways of improving the performance of the engine. The paper presents the option of using the turbogenerator to supply the necessary electric power needed by the vehicle. On the basis of simulation tests the possible power output of the turbogenerator was estimated. In addition, the effect of the proposed solution on the parameters of the engine was assessed.
