Summary:

The paper illustrates the improvement in performance that can be obtained by fitting a variablegeometry turbocharger turbine to a highlyrated truck diesel engine. Since a simple pneumatic control system does not produce either best fuel economy or fastest response on such a highlyrated engine, a microprocessorbased control system has been developed. This system attempts to provide optimum response with minimum exhaust smoke, whilst maintaining good steadystate fuel economy and using the minimum number of sensors. The control strategy is described in detail and both steadyspeed and transient engine test results are shown
