Chapter 689 The importance of the turbo intercooling system

After Jin Xiaoqiang explained the latest generation twin-scroll single turbine they had developed, the reporters present were already silent.

His explanation was simple and clear, and everyone understood the basic principles of the working of this new generation of turbines. Moreover, everyone was basically an experienced veteran who had been working in the automotive industry for decades. Even if they were not automotive engineers, they had been working for so many years.

After hanging out together, everyone can still tell which stuff is good and which stuff is pure deception.

As far as the current automobile industry is concerned, as countries around the world, especially economically developed regions such as Western Europe, North America, and Japan, pay more and more attention to automobile emissions, the control requirements for automobile carbon dioxide emissions are becoming more and more stringent.

Coupled with the rising world oil prices, it has become increasingly difficult for ordinary people to bear the economic pressure brought about by such high oil prices.

The pattern of world automobile research and development will move toward small-displacement, more economical models. It is a general trend.

But car consumers around the world have equally demanding requirements for cars. Think about it, they were used to the strong power brought by large-displacement engines. Now if you want to reduce the displacement of the car, you can

, but if you lower the power data of the engine, it will definitely be a disaster for these car manufacturers.

So the biggest problem facing the world's major car manufacturers now is how to make the car smaller in displacement and more fuel-efficient without reducing the power of the car and reducing the loss of horsepower caused by the reduced displacement.

, resulting in reduced driving pleasure for the driver.

Therefore, major automobile manufacturers are racking their brains to work hard on purely mechanical aspects, trying to use various technical means to make up for the loss of power caused by smaller displacement.

With great fanfare, Huayang Power has brought the previously controversial turbocharger back to the automotive engine field, and it has become more and more successful.

The major automobile manufacturers in the world have clearly realized that this turbocharger is one of the best solutions to the problems they are currently encountering.

As a result, major automobile manufacturers in the world have increased their investment in research and development of turbochargers.

In the 1980s, after Saab was the first to bring turbochargers into the field of automobile engines, turbocharged engines reached their first glory with the promotion of several major Japanese automobile manufacturers.

period.

During that time, Japanese cars equipped with turbochargers were constantly winning the world's top competitions. For a time, they were extremely successful.

As a result, major automobile manufacturers in the world followed suit and began to develop models with turbochargers. At that time, because the price of oil in the world was still within an acceptable range, automobile manufacturers at that time were developing turbocharged engines.

At that time, the focus was mainly on providing engine power, and issues of fuel saving and economy were not considered at all.

Therefore, in the 1980s, many consumers purchased models with turbocharged engines. The main thing they wanted was the powerful performance when the turbocharger was involved in the operation of the engine.

The increase in power is the so-called push-back feeling, and the rapid increase in speed.

As for fuel consumption and economy, they are no longer within the scope of consideration by car manufacturers and consumers.

But when we entered the 1990s, as more and more models were equipped with turbocharged engines, more and more consumers who bought such models found that this model, especially this engine, was more economical.

Sex is really getting worse.

The first is the cost of later maintenance and upkeep of the turbocharger. The turbine at that time was still the first generation of turbocharger, and the materials used to make the turbine were completely different from those now. In addition, there was no fundamental difference at that time.

There was no systematic turbine intercooling system, so turbochargers at that time often had to work in high temperature and highly corrosive environments.

Therefore, it is generally necessary to replace a turbine every 50,000 kilometers, but the cost of replacing the turbine is not low.

Moreover, models using turbocharged engines need to enter repair shops for regular maintenance more frequently than ordinary naturally aspirated engines. This is due to the problem of high labor costs in Europe, the United States, Japan and other regions. Consumers have found that,

Although this turbocharged engine is good, the subsequent maintenance costs are really high.

In addition, there was no special turbine intercooling system at the time, and there was no engine oil suitable for quickly cooling the high-temperature turbine. Therefore, like Volkswagen, you need to idle for three minutes after parking and wait for the turbocharger to cool down before shutting down.

Engine troubles.

Also, because the working temperature of the turbine is too high, it directly causes the engine oil to liquefy and evaporate. Once the oil liquefies and evaporates, it will directly enter the cylinder for combustion. This not only wastes engine oil, but also causes damage to the engine's oil circuit and exhaust pipes.

Cause certain damage, and a series of other disadvantages.

It is under the constraints of many factors like this that turbocharged engines have directly entered the first low ebb period. Many car manufacturers have rejected turbocharged engines.

Even companies like Honda, Nissan, and Toyota, which were the first to play with turbines and brought turbocharged engines to their first development peak, have begun to abandon this type of turbocharger.

This situation did not gradually change until the emergence of Huayang Power in 2003, and after they began to launch their Qoros car series with ecoboost engines in 2004.

In 2004, Huayang Power's first-generation ecoboost engine was specially equipped with a turbine intercooling system, and at that time they began to try to use their special engine and turbine cooling oil.

But at that time, people were more concerned about whether the turbo lag effect of this engine would be strong, so not many people paid attention to their turbine cooling issues.

However, in the year from 2005 to 2006, as more and more consumers began to try the Qoros car series and were gradually conquered by its high power and low fuel consumption, when many

When reporters who like to find faults recall the shortcomings of this ecoboost engine, they remember to pay attention to its lifespan, subsequent maintenance, and economic and fuel-saving issues.

But it was only then that people discovered that all the problems that had appeared in the first-generation turbocharged engine had disappeared in Huayang Power's ecoboost engine.

Their turbines are durable and do not require frequent maintenance, let alone the need to replace a turbine every 50,000 kilometers. It was not until this time that people discovered that Huayang Power equipped this ecoboost engine.

The importance of that turbine intercooling system.

In fact, as early as when he was developing a turbocharged engine, Jin Xiaoqiang noticed the problems that later generations of turbochargers often faced, so he began to apply the mature theories of later generations to equip turbines with intercooling systems.

Take it out.

In my previous life, France's Valeo was the best at using this turbo intercooling system, but to be honest, their system took up a lot of space and was averagely efficient.

But in this life, when Jin Xiaoqiang has his own specially prepared turbine cooling oil, the specifications of the intercooling system they made according to Valeo are much smaller than those made by Valeo in the previous life, and the cooling

Efficiency is also higher.

Jin Xiaoqiang has used this system on their ecoboost engine early on, but it is experimental in nature. After all, the Qoros series has a tight time to market, and they have not had time to conduct detailed testing.

, it can only be tested while watching the market reaction after the car is launched.

In fact, this was a gamble that Jin Xiaoqiang made at that time, and it was also his biggest gamble after his rebirth. Fortunately, after more than a year of market feedback, the performance of the intercooling system was very good.

At this time, their turbocharging system was becoming more and more famous. It was precisely because of the help of this intercooling system that he dared to shout at the Detroit Auto Show at the beginning of the year, "Our turbine is maintenance-free for life."

slogan'.

Because after theoretical and practical calculations, models using such a turbocharger and intercooling system will not have any problems at least within a range of 200,000 to 250,000 kilometers.

It was this slogan that completely established Huayang Power as the usher in the second era of automotive turbocharged engines, and it also played the role of a standard-bearer.

As for Volkswagen, BMW and other German companies, as early as after the Qoros was launched, especially after it became a great success, they bought multiple Qoros products and took them apart to study them.

It's just that they all noticed the special turbine cooling oil used by Huayang Power, but they didn't pay attention to their intercooling system. So until now, in the world's automotive industry, there is nothing about Huayang Power's turbocharged engine.

This intercooling system is not very famous.

The main reason for this is that people still don't know the importance of this intercooling system. Not only can it greatly extend the life of the turbine, but the most important thing is that it complements the effect of the turbine cooling oil...

So when the public is still complacent that they have obtained this kind of cooling oil, they don't know that Jin Xiaoqiang has already dug the next pit for them...

And BMW has such a rash plan to build a new turbine, which seems to overwhelm Huayang Power. Of course, Jin Xiaoqiang doesn't mind giving him a head-on blow! (To be continued.
