Variable Geometry Turbocharging
|
|
A more effective, though complex, method of turbocharging uses a turbine stage
where the swallowing capacity is automatically varied while the engine is
running. Turbine flow can be set to provide sufficient energy to drive the
compressor at the desired boost level wherever the engine RPM range is
operating.
The advantage of this system over wastegate is that all the exhaust flow is put through the turbine wheel giving increased net turbine power output.

The Holset variable geometry system works by controlling the width of a nozzle guiding the gas flow into the turbine wheel.

True Ball-Bearing Turbochargers
Thanks to our single-cartridge, dual ball-bearing technology, Garrett® turbochargers generate far less frictional drag and are 10 times more durable than traditional journal-bearing turbochargers. While first developed for racing, over 100,000 ball-bearing turbos have been produced for OE applications, and are now available in a range of sizes for the street.

Improved efficiency
New efficient turbine stages deliver more power to your engine and allow Garrett® turbochargers to spool up faster than ever. Our engineers have eliminated old efficiency killers, including on-center turbine housings, clipped turbine wheels and antiquated aerodynamics with the new GT product line.
Garrett AVNTT
|
|
Honeywell’s Garrett® Advanced Variable Nozzle Turbo (AVNT™) functions as a variable geometry turbocharger. It features a holistic design that minimizes the number of additional parts. The unique vane designs of the AVNT™ provide benchmark efficiency throughout the flow range of the unit. The vanes significantly increase turbine efficiency when compared to conventional vane designs, thereby improving engine performance with peak torque at idle.
|
Actuation
Garrett® choose electro-hydraulic for the commercial vehicle AVNT™ turbochargers. The electro-hydraulic actuation utilizes the bearing system oil feed as the hydraulic source, integrates the two systems into one housing and achieves true vane position control. The AVNT™ is controlled by the engine management electronics by means of variable current or PWM signal.
