2. VTA on every turbocharger and power turbine
▪
“Closing” of all VTAs with con-
stant area factor (and thus con-
stant bypass ratio)
▪
In full load range:
“Closing” of the VTA of the
power turbine to throttle the
power turbine output,
“opening” of the VTAs on the
turbochargers to limit the charge
pressure.
▪
At partial load:
“Closing” of the VTA to throttle
the power turbine output, analo-
gous to 1.
▪
Increased power turbine output
and reduced SFOC by increasing
the scavenge air pressure (see
“2-stroke engine” line) and
exhaust gas pressure
▪
Increased turbocharging effi-
ciency at a given power turbine
output, compared with power
turbine control by means of
bypass
▪
Increased turbocharging effi-
ciency at a given power turbine
output – see 1.
