April 11, 2022, 1:46 a.m. Updated 35 {"title": ["", "Birmingham high performance turbomachinery limited"], "description": ["", "\nWith road transport accounting for 10% of the global carbon footprint & the price of crude oil\nrising from £39 per barrel in 2009 to a predicted £64 in 2015, the need for greener, more\neconomical road transport has never been so imperative. The turbocharger, which uses\nexhaust gases to increase the engine\u2019s efficiency, allows car manufacturers to downsize their\nengines & still meet their customers\u2019 power and performance demands. A turbocharged diesel\nengine is up to 40% more fuel efficient & produces 50% less CO2 and NOx emissions than a\nstandard diesel engine of the same power.\nInitially, ball-bearings were used in turbocharger turbines, but due to durability issues they are\nnot suitable above 100,000rpm. OEMs have thus adopted oil bearings, at the expense of a\nmuch higher friction coefficient (oil bearing friction: 0.003 \u2013 0.04, ball bearing friction: 0.001\n\u2013 0.0015), reducing their efficiency, & contributing to \u2018turbo lag\u2019 - the time required to change\npower output in response to a throttle change i.e. a \u2018hesitation\u2019 when accelerating.\nTo tackle these problems, BHPTL wish to develop novel foil-free static-dynamic hybrid air\nbearings & ceramic (silicon nitride) turbines for turbochargers. Air bearings have near zero\nfrictions, & ceramic turbines have a density 38% that of Inconel, the material currently used\nfor turbocharger turbines. Silicon nitride can withstand temperatures over 300 higher, is 1.8\ntimes harder & has a flexural strength 1.3 times that of Inconel, so is much more durable.\nThese properties are expected to at least double the turbine\u2019s acceleration and RPM\nconsiderably reducing turbo-lag, increasing intake air pressure & hence improving\nturbocharged cars\u2019 performance & service life. The reduced turbo-lag and increased\nperformance will reduce the amount of time drivers\u2019 have to accelerate before changing up a\ngear, positively impacting fuel reduction\n\n"], "extra_text": ["", "\n\n\n\n"], "status": ["", "Closed"]}
