Scope of Report Product of Interest (POI): Automotive Turbocharger
➢ VGT/VNT: VGT/VNT (Variable Geometry Turbocharger/Variable-nozzle Turbines) type of turbochargers
are designed to increase pressure at low speeds, reduce response time, decrease engine emission, and fuel economy and are basically designed for diesel engines. ➢ Wastegate: Wastegate turbochargers work by using a valve which regulates the flow of exhaust gases to the turbine wheel. This type of turbochargers help in boosting of pressure which in turn gives more power output to the vehicles, having less lag time compared to VGT/VNT type of turbocharger. ➢ Electric Turbocharger: This type of turbocharger works on the principle of providing power to a compressor that improves the engine’s performance without depending upon exhaust gases. Electric turbochargers have approximately single digit share in market because it also needs fuel to supply power to the compressor. However, it reduces the time lag and continuously supplies power to drive the turbine. In the forecast period, it is expected to continue increasing its market share because R&D activities by vehicle manufacturers as well as turbocharger manufacturers are going on to improve the performance of electric turbochargers.
