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
