Beijing Auto Show Valeo demonstrate its electronically controlled turbocharger technology

In the just-concluded 2014 Auto Show, parts maker Valeo (Valeo) demonstrated its electronically controlled turbocharger technology. In fact, this technology two years ago, it has been proposed, Audi and BMW are also gradually withdraw the similar technology. So we take this time Beijing Auto Show, to analyze, the Valeo this technology, in the end what is the difference.

Valeo also like the traditional electronic turbocharger exhaust gas turbocharger, the use of a centrifugal compressor as booster tool, which uses low inertia reluctance motor, it does not work like Turbocharged as the engine speed receptacle impact on the responsiveness of traditional exhaust gas turbocharger unmatched. At the same time due to no longer rely on the exhaust to provide energy, it can be arranged more freely. Also provides for the intake system can accommodate more advanced technology room. Technically, because the use of VR motor,Peugeot 1.6 turbocharger the maximum speed is 70,000 rpm, the motor output power is 2 ~ 3kW. But also with the conventional exhaust gas-driven turbocharger is different, the electric supercharger is used to drive the switched reluctance motor, the reaction rate is greatly improved.

Valeo engineers believe that the use of low inertia switch reluctance motor is the key to a breakthrough in hybrid performance, this technology enables the car turbo lag at low state phenomenon has been greatly eased. "Electric supercharger very fast response speed from 0 to 70,000 rev / min in just 350 milliseconds." Pierre-Emmanuel Strohl, director of marketing, said the market Valeo engine system.

But did not disclose Valeo Which will cooperate with automotive OEMs, Mini Cooper turbocharger the current number of original equipment manufacturers are testing and evaluation of the electric supercharger, in which 10 manufacturers to conduct tests on the gasoline engine, 6 manufacturers in the diesel engine to be tested, three manufacturers in the naturally aspirated engine to be tested.http://www.maxspeedingrods.co.uk/gt1544v-turbo-citroen-ford-peugeot-volvo-mazda-1-6-l-dv6ted4-turbocharger.html Valeo will launch a new electric supercharger which in 2015 or 2016.
