The ASM Turbocharger Model simulates an exhaust gas turbocharger that consists of a compressor, a turbine, and a turbocharger shaft. Turbochargers with variable turbine geometry (VTG) or wastegate can be simulated. The ASM Turbocharger Model is an alternative to the map-based turbocharger that is included in the gasoline and diesel engine models.

Simulation Model Characteristics

The turbine model calculates the mass flow, the output temperature, and the resulting power output according to wastegate or VTG position. The compressor model calculates the boost pressure, the power consumption and the output temperature. The compressor and turbine are connected by a shaft, and the model provides the shaft speed.
