A turbocharger is a relatively simple, but very precisely made component working in conditions, which should be considered hard. Due to hard working conditions, among others: high exhaust temperatures, very high rotational speeds reaching up to 250 000 rpm, precise design and difficult assembly, turbochargers should be considered particularly subject to damage and failure. It is confirmed by data showing an increasing number of failures of such components, which is caused, among others, by the increasing number of vehicles equipped with turbochargers. The considerable cost of a new turbocharger and its relatively easy disassembly coupled with easy access to spare parts in Poland result in establishing of ever more new companies remanufacturing this type of device. The effectiveness of repairs carried out in such plants varies strongly, often being of poor quality due to lack of knowledge, both practical and theoretical, inadequate training of personnel, and many other factors.

EXPERIMETAL METHODOLOGIES FOR A COMPREHESIVE CHARACTERIZATIO OF AUTOMOTIVE TURBOCHARGERS
In the present paper are presented a set of experimental methodologies that allows for characterizing the main aspects necessary to proper modeling energy flows transfer in turbochargers in both design and off-design conditions. With respect to the compressor side the main off-design issue while boosting to an internal combustion engine is surge. Specific techniques for surge detection at on engine conditions with real engine installation will be described in this paper. Concerning the turbine, the three main variables necessary to model off-design performance are: turbine efficiency at off-design conditions; mechanical efficiency and heat flows within the turbocharger. The methodologies proposed in this paper provide these variables based in a combination of adiabatic and non-adiabatic tests in a gas-stand for turbochargers once have been previously determined the thermal conductances of the turbocharger materials. The conclusion of the paper offers an example of the obtained results with respect to turbine efficiency for a turbocharger characterized following proposed methodologies. ITRODUCTIO Turbocharging has been one of the keys for automotive engines improvement in the last years for both diesel and petrol powerplants. New turbocharging systems allowing higher boosting capacities have yielded to new downsized engines with lower consumption and pollutant emissions. However, current turbochargers are now constrained to harder operating conditions, including higher pulsating flow at the turbine, higher operating temperature or more likeability of surge occurrence. The most important tool used for the engine gas-exchange and boosting system development are 1D gas-dynamic models able to predict the engine flows characteristics and thus engine performance. These models need to be fed with the turbocharger information, mainly the turbine and compressor steady maps. In the lasts years, a lack of accuracy has been noticed in these models. The reason is that the phenomena mentioned above pulsating flow, heat transfer or surge; are more and more prominent and are not considered in current models. The next step to develop further turbocharger models is to establish experimental procedures to characterize these phenomena in controlled conditions. The authors have been working in the last years in new tests aimed to analyze non-steady phenomena in turbochargers showing their potential use in industrial environment.

Turbocharged diesel engines are extensively used in marine vessels, both as propulsion engines and as generator sets. The engines operation in the hostile marine environment results to performance degradation having a negative effect on the economics of the marine vessel's operation both in terms of fuel consumption and maintenance. This paper presents a turbocharged 4-stroke diesel engine simulation framework based on one-dimensional calculations and analysis. The framework is suitable for turbomachinery and heat exchanger components fault simulation predicting both turbocharger and diesel engine performance and operability. Meanline models were used in conjunction with beta lines method for generating accurate and detailed compressor and turbine performance maps, coupled with a single zone closed-cycle diesel engine model for generating engine performance characteristics. The simulation framework modules are adjusted and validated against measured data. Following specific faults are simulated utilizing physical consistent parameters such as blade friction and thickness based on relevant literature data. Overall system simulation and operation analysis is carried out assessing operability and performance parameters. Analysis results show a significant reduction in engine performance, especially in case of both turbo-components being fouled (22% power reduction), in contrast with the heat exchanger fouling where the power reduction is about 1%.

The aim of this paper is to choose the convenient turbocharger for the OM355 naturally aspirated diesel engine and turn it to a turbocharged one. For this, 1D 1 computer simulation code is used and simulation results are validated with experimental measurements. Finally, by selecting a proper turbocharger, engine power increases about 50% and specific fuel consumption decreases about 4%. Moreover, effects of exhaust manifold geometry and ambient condition on performance parameters of the turbocharged diesel engine are investigated.

M ost of the internal combustion engine phenomena (scavenging process, injection, combustion, expansion, etc.) are repeated during an engine cycle as many times as cylinders are present in the engine. This cyclic behavior influences the instantaneous angular speed n 5 du/dt (IAS) of the turbocharger. 1 By measuring IAS, it can be possible to diagnose the correct performance of the engine and, in some cases, to correct deviations of the engine's operation from the expected behavior.

Turbochargers caused significant number of marine diesel engines malfunctions especially when engine is fueled by heavy fuel oil. Vibro-acoustic diagnostic methods which could be used on marine diesel engines with turbochargers are presented in the paper. Vibration signals generated by turbochargers need different signal processing methods to be effective and faultless in turbochargers diagnostics. Diagnostic methods which based on vibration signals analysis are sensitive on engine load and speed changes. Some results of turbocharger tests which were carried out in the Polish Naval Academy Technical Institute of Ship Maintenance laboratory are presented in the paper with special attention given to the practical aspects in processing the vibration signal and diagnostic effectiveness.

Inappropriate fault detection of turbocharger's operating parameters has generated unnecessary economic loss due to unplanned down-time. This results to a combination of late and inaccurate diagnosis of the turbocharger faults by the employed maintenance systems. This study, used a Model-based fault diagnosis approach to identify imbalance fault in a turbocharger rotor system. In this approach, the generalized theoretical equation of motion for both healthy and faulty system models of a complete turbocharger rotor, were developed using the Finite element method. A test rig for the turbocharger rotor with sensors to monitor its dynamic behavior under the influence of the aforementioned faulty condition was also developed. Following Modal Expansion, curve fitting technique was used to minimize the error between a set of equivalent experimental and numerical results. From the results, the theoretical Frequency response functions developed from Finite Element Method fault models had good agreement with the Time and frequency-based responses measured from experimental data for the induced imbalance fault condition, hence, validating the theoretical fault models developed in this study. Using Modal Expansion technique, data from nodal residual forces generated from the developed numerical fault model was compared with measured corresponding experimental nodal residual forces data. The results showed good agreement between the theoretical and experimental findings. Hence, the Model based fault identification scheme implemented in this study successfully identified the magnitude, severity and exact location of imbalance faulty conditions.
