Abstract
Methods and systems are provided for controlling a power output of a power source using a fluidic variable turbine turbocharger. In one example, a turbocharger system coupled to the power source includes a first turbocharger having a first compressor and a first turbine, and a second turbocharger having a second compressor and a second turbine, where boost air from the second compressor is directed to only a nozzle of the first turbine.
Claims20
A turbocharger system coupled to a power source, the turbocharger system comprising:
- a first turbocharger having a first compressor and a first turbine;
- and
- a second turbocharger having a second compressor and a second turbine, where boost air from the second compressor is directed to only a nozzle of the first turbine.
A method, comprising:
- during a first condition, flowing boost air from a first compressor to a power source;
- and
- during a second condition, flowing boost air from the first compressor to the power source and to a second compressor, wherein the second compressor flows boost air to a nozzle of a first turbine coupled to the first compressor via a shaft of a first turbocharger.
A system, comprising:
- a first turbocharger fluidly coupled to a power source and to a second turbocharger, where the second turbocharger receives boost from the first turbocharger and flows boost to a nozzle of a first turbine of the first turbocharger.
