Gas turbine eTurbocompound

Description

Even though modern turbocharged combustion engines are remarkably efficient, useful energy can still be found in the exhaust gas flow. Positioned downstream of the aftertreatment system, BorgWarner’s turbine-driven, water-cooled generator eTurbocompound uses the remaining waste heat to generate electrical energy.

Features

Water-cooled and easily scalable turbine

Individually adjustable turbine and generator speed

Benefits

Can be used for many vehicle types

Facilitates cost-effective recovery of heat energy from the exhaust gas flow

Minimal effects on engine operation or vehicle packaging
