The aim of this project is to bring Aeristech’s novel electric supercharger to TRL 6/7 maturitylevel (“A-Sample” in the terminology of the automotive industry). This will build uponAeristech’s successful proof of concept grant project completed in Q1 2014, and make thetechnology commercially attractive. Once at TRL 6/7, the automotive industry is wellequippedto move the technology through its development process into mass production.With the requirements for lower fuel consumption and low emissions targets, enginedownsizing and therefore engine boosting is becoming an increasingly popular solution. Inline with the general drive towards vehicle electrification, electric superchargers are expectedto become a key enabler to extreme engine downsizing.Aeristech’s proprietary technology is based on a novel control architecture and associatedpermanent magnet motor design that is the most power-dense, efficient and cost effectivesolution for variable, high-speed applications. In February 2014, Aeristech successfullycompleted a TSB Smart funded project at “Proof of Concept” level for the design anddevelopment of a 48V electric supercharger (eSupercharger) for 2.0L or less ICE engineboosting applications.Within this project, Aeristech will develop product-relevant designs that enable the electricsupercharger to function in a realistic environment such as a car engine bay, with temperatureand other environmental factors. Moving forward, Aeristech aims to work on a commercialbasis with automotive OEMs and Tier-1s to tailor the electric supercharger to their specificperformance requirements and cost targets, working towards a licensing arrangement wherebyAeristech would partner with experienced automotive component manufacturers to developthe electric supercharger for mass production. Demonstrating Aeristech’s technology at TRL6/7 level with TSB grant support will be critical in capitalising on this near tem marketopportunity for eSuperchargers.

该项目的目的是使Aeristech的新型电动增压器达到TRL 6/7成熟度(汽车行业术语中的“A-Sample”)水平。这将建立在Aeristech于2014年第一季度成功完成的概念验证资助项目的基础上，并使该技术具有商业吸引力。在TRL 6/7上，汽车行业已经准备好将该技术通过其开发过程进入批量生产。随着对低油耗和低排放目标的要求，发动机小型化因此发动机增压正成为越来越受欢迎的解决方案。与汽车电气化的普遍趋势一致，电动增压有望成为发动机极端减速的关键推动因素。Aeristech的专有技术基于一种新颖的控制架构和相关的永磁电机设计，这是针对可变、高速应用的最高功率密度、最高效和最具成本效益的解决方案。2014年2月，Aeristech成功地完成了TSB Smart资助的“概念验证”项目，用于设计和开发适用于2.0L或更少内燃机发动机增压应用的48V电动增压器(e增压器)。在该项目中，Aeristech将开发与产品相关的设计，使电动增压器能够在具有温度和其他环境因素的真实环境中运行，例如汽车引擎舱。展望未来，Aeristech的目标是在商业基础上与汽车OEM和Tier-1合作，根据他们特定的性能要求和成本目标定制电动增压器，努力达成许可安排，通过这种安排，Aeristech将与经验丰富的汽车零部件制造商合作开发用于批量生产的电动增压器。在TSB赠款的支持下，展示Aeristech在TRL6/7级别的技术，对于利用eSupercharger这一近乎临时性的市场机会至关重要。
