Description
MiTi is proposing an innovative high speed oil free turbocharger system for use in turbocharged engines with power levels from 2 to 20 HP.The high speeds of the oil-free turbocharger with advanced 6th Generation compliant foil bearings will result in a small, lightweight oil-free micro-turbocharger system offering greater durability and reliability.Taking advantage of existing MiTi's mesoscopic foil bearing technology and turbomachinery experience, the proposed 9-month program will result in the preliminary system design of an oil-free turbocharger sized for a piston engine with less than 20 HP.Overall subsystem performance predictions will be made and compared to engine requirements.A refined preliminary design including compressor and turbine impeller mean line analysis will be completed.Phase II hardware and testing plans will be prepared.
