Numerical and experimental investigations of a turbocharger with a compressor wheel made of additively manufactured plastic
Abstract
Abstract This study investigates the operating characteristics of a turbocharger compressor having components manufactured by multiJet printing technology. Currently, studies are being conducted worldwide that aim to develop parts of innovative fluid-flow machines through additive manufacturing techniques. This manufacturing technique has a lower production time and cost compared to conventional prototyping methods used for components with complex shapes. In this article, we focused on the application of the above-mentioned method for improving the design and optimization process of the main parts of fluid-flow machines. This article also presents a numerical model and analysis of a compressor wheel. Experimental tests were conducted at high rotational speeds (up to 100,000 rpm) with the reference material (aluminum compressor wheel) and a polymer wheel. The results obtained were compared with the results of numerical calculations. A modified automotive turbocharger was subjected to experiments on a test stand. This paper also describes the different operating nature of the tested machine compared to the standard version as observed during rundup tests. These tests were necessary in order to obtain the precise characteristics of the compressor, which was vital for performing a vibrodiagnostic analysis.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
