Journal Article Turbo Compressor Optimization Chris Robinson, PCA Engineers and Brad Hutchinson, ANSYS, Inc. Turbochargers are increasingly used in automotive applications to downsize engine capacity to achieve lower emissions without compromising the driver’s perception of performance and transient response. The challenges for turbocharger designers are to achieve higher compres- sor and turbine effi ciency with broader operating range and minimal inertia, while complying with package size limitations and cost constraints. A successful design process makes appropriate use of multiple levels of highly iterative analysis, from simple 1-D and 2-D analyses through highly sophisticated, transient, multiphysics 3-D simulation, in developing a new compressor. Figure 1 shows the performance of a typical compressor used in an engine measured on a test rig. Pressure ratio as a function of fl ow rate is shown on the lower part of the fi gure for a range of compressor speeds, increasing from bottom left to top right. The upper family of curves shows the cor- responding effi ciency variation with fl ow and speed. The pressure ratio is the pressure at the outlet of the
