Abstract

The development of a high performance LPT (Low Pressure Turbine) for turbocompounding applications in downsized gasoline engine is presented in this paper. The LPT was designed to fill the existing technology gap where no commercially available turbines can operate effectively at low-pressure ratios (1.05–1.3) to drive an electric generator with 1.0 kW power output. The newly designed LPT geometry was tested at Imperial College under steady-state conditions; a maximum total-to-static efficiency, ηt−s 75.8% at pressure ratio, PR ≈ 1.08 was found.
