Lean Combustion Requires

  • Higher air delivery to the cylinders
  • Efficient turbocharging at low exhaust gas enthalpy conditions
  • Swift transient response to air mass flow demand (lean switch)

Selected Boosting Architecture

  • Variable geometry/nozzle turbine (VNTTM) with integrated wastegate
  • 48V Electric compressor

GEN2 E-Compressor

Electric Compressor downstream of VNT turbo

Air-Fuel Ratio Switch

Achieved Performance

  • 175 Nm steady state torque under lean operation (11 bar BMEP)
  • Seamless lambda switch in less than 0.5 s (1700 rpm, stoich. to λ = 2 in simulation, λ = 1.6 on engine)
  • Turbine efficiency increase by up to 3pts thanks to design optimization
  • Gen2 E-Compressor with peak power of up to 8.5 kW
