Numerical Analysis of Two-Stage Turbine System for Multicylinder Engine under Pulse Flow Conditions with High Pressure-Ratio Turbine Rotor

Internal combustion engine (ICE) exhaust gases provide a high amount of energy which is partially lost to the environment. Such energy can be recovered with a turbocharger turbine or other after-treatment device. As the engine exhaust flow varies not only with the engine load but also with the opening and closing of the exhaust valves, a proper matching between the engine and the turbine should be established to maximize the recovery of waste energy. That is why a twin-scroll or dual turbocharging system is implemented, especially in multi-cylinder engines. Such systems require a very complex pipeline to eliminate the interference of the exhaust pulses between the adjacent cylinder ignitions. In this study, the two-stage, multi-channel turbine system was investigated for two different rotor geometries: the old, high-performance rotor A and the smaller but more modern rotor B, which was scaled to match rotor A. Both geometries were compared at three different turbine speeds and variable turbine geometry (VTG) vane positions. It was found that the two-stage turbine system with rotor B geometry provided an 8% higher total efficiency than rotor A due to the lower flow losses within the rotor passage.
