The document discusses advanced turbocharging and downsizing concepts for combustion engines to limit emissions while reducing costs. It announces an upcoming conference on these topics where automakers like Ford, Hyundai, Volvo, Fiat, and Lotus will present. The conference will cover future development of downsizing and two-stage turbocharging, new downsizing concepts for diesel engines, turbocharger materials, and electric turbocharging. It will also include workshops on innovative turbocharging technologies and high performance materials for boosted engines.

1. Advanced Turbocharging and Downsizing
Berlin, 22/02/2012 – Advanced turbochargers face the challenge of limiting emissions
while at the same time reducing costs – an effective way is the implementation of intelligent
downsizing and new turbocharging concepts for modern combustion engines. Meet a range
of OEMs at IQPC’s 4th International Congress on Advanced Downsizing &
Turbocharging Concepts, 26 – 28 March, 2012 in Stuttgart, Germany.
The turbocharger is a highly complex product that is set to become widely used in
gasoline engines. In order to limit emissions, but at the same time improve overall
efficiency while reducing costs, designers of turbocharger are facing sophisticated
challenges. This has meant that new charging and downsizing concepts are
required. Find out at IQPC’s conference about future concepts for boosting small
gasoline engines and the potential of two stage turbocharging, as well as
turbocharging systems in HEVs.
Key topics include the following:
Future development of downsizing and turbocharging: research on extreme
downsizing, two-stage turbocharging or variable inlet guide vanes
New downsizing concepts for diesel engines, e.g. pressure wave chargers
Turbocharger materials, such as high-performance thermoplastics
New charging concepts, such as fully electric turbocharging or SuperTurbo
Chairman of the conference is Dr. Geoff Capon, Turbocharger Systems Specialist at
Ford. Other OEM’s presenting are Hyundai, Volvo, Fiat and Lotus. Use the
opportunity to interact directly with the turbocharging experts at the Workshop Day
on Wednesday, March 28 2012 on topics such as
Innovative turbocharging technologies (Nick Baines, Concepts NREC, UK)
High performance materials for boosted engines
New engine configurations enabled by a SuperTurbo (Ed VanDyne, VanDyne
SuperTurbo Inc., USA)
How much screw dose does a turbocharger need? (Eugen Perisutti, EJOT
GmbH, Germany)
