Mechanically Decoupled Electric Turbocharger for Optimal IC Engines Efficiency

该项目将为内燃机开发一种新型的能量回收和增压系统，从而在汽车能源效率、燃料消耗和二氧化碳排放方面实现飞跃。Aeristech的全电动涡轮增压器技术（FETT）是一种机械解耦涡轮增压器，由3个元件组成：（1）回收废气热能的电动涡轮机发电机，通过（3）电源管理单元为（2）电动压缩机提供动力，以按需为发动机增压。捷豹路虎有限公司、先进设计技术有限公司、巴斯大学和Aeristech将把FETT概念与捷豹路虎的Ingenium发动机系列相匹配，FETT的开发将得到系统/发动机级别以及车辆级别的广泛模拟阶段的支持，以优化车辆能源效率。由JLR和巴斯大学领导的这一模拟将为Aeristech和ADT提供详细的FET目标规范。ADT将专注于设计优化的涡轮机，用于解耦的涡轮机和压缩机，而Aeristech将专注于设计具有一流效率的电机和电源管理设备。

The project will develop a novel energy recovery and boosting system for internal combustion engines, leading to a step change in vehicle energy efficiency, fuel consumption and CO2 emissions. Aeristech’s Full Electric Turbocharger Technology (FETT) is a mechanically decoupled turbochaqrger and comprises of 3 elements; (1) an electric turbine generator recovering exhaust heat energy, powering (2) an electric compressor to boost the engine on demand, through (3) a power management unit. Jaguar Land Rover Limited, Advanced Design Technology Limited, Bath University and Aeristech will match the FETT concept to JLR’s Ingenium engine family, and the FETT development will be supported by an extensive simulation phase at system/engine level, as well as vehicle level for an optimised vehicle energy efficiency. This simulation, led by JLR and Bath University will provide Aeristech and ADT with a detailed FETT target specification. ADT will focus on the design of optimised turbomarchinery, for a decoupled turbine and compressor, whilst Aeristech will concentrate on the design of electric machines and power management device with best-in-class efficiencies.
