IMPROVED ENGINE PERFORMANCE AND EFFICIENCY UTILIZING A SUPERTURBOCHARGER

The need for current and future military vehicles to include more powerful and efficient powertrains is critical to both improving operational performance and reducing logistical burden. VanDyne SuperTurbo Inc. is working jointly with TARDEC and OEM partners to develop and field a revolutionary technology that simultaneously increases available engine power and reduces overall fuel consumption. The ability to incorporate efficient supercharging will allow vehicles to accelerate faster in combat situations and accept a heavier load. The ability to mechanically recover waste heat energy will allow vehicles to improve their operational range and reduce the Class III supply chain. SuperTurbo technology additionally reduces visible soot emissions and is transferable to gensets and other equipment. The end result of fielding this kind of capability will be a force protection multiplier that equips the warfighter with better performing systems.
