Background

Project Steps• Installation Check Out• Compressor – air flow rate• Radiator – sizing of heat exchanger• Intercooler – sizing• Selection of components• Next Steps

– Instrumentation Locations– Power Increase – based on airflow– Heat Exchanger Area

Turbocharger installed in engine

• Turbocharger fits where the old one did

• Brackets and oil lines fit• Turbocharger runs with engine

Turbo Compressor• Airflow out of the compressor, mass flow• CFM = airflow rate• CID = cubic inch displacement = 395• RPM = revolutions per minute = 2000• VE = volumetric efficiency = 80%

• Correcting for a boost pressure of 18psi:

Intercooler Calculations• Same as radiator• Different flow rates and temps

Heat Exchanger Selections• Unknown value for U• Unknown value for A• Discussion with manufacturer• Feasibility:

– Cost– Size (dimensions)

Intercooler Radiator

Next Steps• Instrumentation Locations

– Inlets/outlets of heat exchangers• Increased Engine Power

– Based on airflow• Validate Heat Exchanger Selections

– Includes estimate on fin area based on actual measurements

– Fit checks– Tube routing
