NREC to Drive Turbocharging the Internal Combustion Engine Course
on the Road in 2005
Nove mber 23, 2004 — For the
first time ever, Concepts NREC will take its Turbocharging the
Internal Combustion Engine course on the road in 2005! This is
the only course for industrial engineers that provides a comprehensive
presentation of the design principles of turbochargers, engine-turbocharger
matching, and the performance of turbocharged engine systems.
The course will be held on May 10 - 13 in San Diego, CA, and June
14 - 17 in Detroit, MI.
Lectures will cover the characteristics, design, and performance
of the principal turbocharger components. Methods of ensuring
that the compressor and turbine are correctly matched to the engine
are described. Emphasis is given to the utilization of exhaust
gas energy by the turbocharger. Advanced turbocharger system concepts
such as variable geometry and compounding are described. Special
emphasis is placed on the problems confronting the engine industry
today, including the need for fuel economy and reductions in exhaust
emissions, and how turbocharging influences these demands.
Participants will receive a copy of Fundamentals of Turbocharging
by Nicholas C. Baines. This book is the fi rst comprehensive treatment
of turbochargers and turbocharging to be made widely available
in the last twenty years. It is intended to serve as both an introduction
to the turbocharger itself, and to the problems of matching a
turbocharger with an internal combustion engine.
