Turbocharger Manufacturers Accelerate Improvement of Turbocharger Technology

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Apache Junction, Arizona, United States of America (Free-Press-Release.com) September 27, 2011 -- According to the new standard of automobile fuel economy (CAFE) that is released this year, the economy of average fuel of the 2016 automobile of light weight improves by 30 percent than the 2011 model in the United States. The automobile manufacturers who participate in the market competition are urgent to need mature technology that can be directly applied. As a consequence, the turbocharged technology is their first choice.

"Compared with the hybrid and electric vehicle technology, turbocharged technology has overwhelming advantages in cost.” Michael Amoroso put it out, who is the expert analysis expert of auto power transmission system in J.D.P Power. According to the forecast, by 2015, the equipment rate of the turbocharger will rise from 8% this year to about 25% in the United States.
The United States is just starting in turbocharger market and in Europe. The technology is widespread. According to information, in Europe, about half of passenger cars are diesel trucks. At the same time, the diesel engines are almost equipped with kkk turbocharger .

At present, the main suppliers of the turbocharger include Borg Warner of the United States, the Honeywell and Japan's Mitsubishi heavy industry. The turbocharger share of the three enterprises in Europe and North America turbocharger market are 41%, 34%, 15% and 57%, 30%, 4%. In addition, the German auto parts giant continent group also hopes to have breakthrough in the field of turbocharger, which is actively exploring the market.
Among the whole automobile enterprises, Ford advocates actively in turbocharged technology. The enterprise says it will strive to realize that the turbocharger equipment rate reaches 90% in Ecoboost in 1 to 2 years in North America. Ford expects, in 2013, the company's Ecoboost that is equipped with turbo engine will achieve 1.5 million in global sales.

Compared with the naturally aspirated engines with the same flow, turbo engine is smaller in volume and the oil saving is better. For example, 2011 Ford Explorer is equipped with 2.0 L turbo engine of the power of 174 kW. Its km fuel consumption is 30% low as the V6 engine that is installed in the old model of car.

With the growth of the North American market, each big turbocharger production enterprise is accelerating the improvement of the technology. For example, the two cylinder diesel engine of India's Tata nano adopts the micro turbocharger of the Honeywell. By contrast, the Mainland Group is performing the more difficult development of the micro turbocharger of the gasoline engine. “The company is to start business areas which will extend to the 1.5 L and 2.0 L engine's turbocharger .” The power transmission department senior manager of the Mainland North American Enterprise, Craig Wilkins said.
