Cummins Turbo Technologies were proud to be platinum sponsors at this year’s 12th international conference on turbochargers and turbocharging, organised by The Institute of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE) and held at The Kia Oval, London from 17 – 18 May.

Five papers were presented at the conference by Cummins Turbo Technologies which focussed on Research and Development that will deliver future benefits to on- and off-highway markets. The papers presented included:

 - Development of a high temperature turbocharger for heavy duty applications
- The development of a long route exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) turbocharger for commercial engine applications
- Explicit dynamic finite element simulation of turbocharger containment and wheel burst
- The effect of oil film instability on power loss prediction of turbocharger rotor-floating ring bearing system
- Turbocharger compressor inlet and outlet pipe length & volume, and the effects on the characteristics and location of surge.

Next Generation Technologies were also on display at the conference including; Holset M²™ Two Stage with Rotary Turbine Control (RTC), Series 400 Holset VGT™, Series 500 Electric Wastegate with Twin Port technology, Series 150 Wastegate and Series 250 Wastegate, and Mechanical and Electric Waste Heat Recovery Turbine Expanders.

The conference was a great opportunity for Cummins to demonstrate its research and development for future technologies as well as gain insights into other R&D within the industry.
