The new MAN D&T TCX17

Turbocharger for the high-pressure stage.

Technical Turbocharger Update

During a press seminar in the Spring of 2016, MAN D&T Business Unit

Turbocharger published its current de- velopment activities in the ? eld of com- bustion air supply. Being a traditional turbocharger pioneer, MAN D&T never gave up its technological leading posi- tion since the beginning of turbocharger development and production in the early 1920’s. Just a few years later, in 1940,

MAN developed the fundamental tur- bine group concept, which, at all sizes of turbocharger, became predominant.

The well advanced turbo-charging technology introduced by MAN D&T, signi? catnly increases the ef? ciency of large two and four-stroke diesel and gas engines, while at the same time helping to reduce NOx emissions.

MAN ECOCHARGE:

High-Pressure Turbo-Charging “The combination of a MAN TCR20 – for the low-pressure stage – and an

MAN TCX17 – for the high-pressure stage – offers signi? cant potential for today’s demand for more economical and environmentally-friendly engine operation,” said Daniel Albrecht, Proj- ect Manager TCX. “This is because two-stage turbocharging supplies en- gines with improved scavenging air pressures ranging from 5 to >10 bar, www.marinelink.com 95
