오늘날 자동차용 엔진에 대한 사용자의 요구는 여러가지가 있지만 그 중에서도 손쉬운 운전, 고 출력화, 응답(response)의 향상 등의 요구는 지금 이후로도 계속되리라 생각된다. 슈퍼차저도 이러한 요구에 의하여 사용되고 있으며 이제는 엔진의 보조적 향상책으로 뿐만 아니라 엔진에 있어서 필요 불가결한 것으로써 확실히 정착되리라 생각된다. 본 고에서 살펴본 바에 의하면 스크류식 슈퍼차저가 테스트된 4종류의 슈퍼차저중에서 가장 나은 성능, 과급압, 토르크를 주고 있으며, 또한 가장 소형이며 경량이다. 또한 스크류로타는 팽창기로써 효율 높게 작용할 수 있어, 이의 채용으로 기존의 터보콤파운드시스템 보다 8-10% 에너지 효율이 높게됨이 알려지고 있다. 그러므로 스크류로타를 이용한 터보콤파운드시스템은 기존의 어떤 시스템보다도 효율이 높은 시스템으로 발전할 수 있는 가능성이 높아 이의 연구가 적극 추진되어야 하겠다.

In present study, the effect of heat treatment on the microstructure and mechanical properties of the gravity cast superchargers housing using A356 alloy were investigated. In order to identify the characteristics of superchagers housing casting with heat treatment, Vickers hardness test, electrical conductivity test, opical and scanning electron microscopy were performed. And also, to investigate their mechanical properties, the T6 treated superchagers housing casting in optimum heat treatment condition were carried out tensile test using UTM (Universal Testing Machine).

Sensorless electric superchargers have recently been actively developed to provide a large amount of oxygen to engines in order assist the combustion process for miniaturizing the engines and improving fuel efficiency. The model-based sensorless method for surface-mounted permanent magnet synchronous motors has a disadvantage in that the system may become unstable due to parameter variations in low-speed operation and the rapid-acceleration section. An electric supercharger requires fast response to improve the engine response delay, such as the turbocharger turbo-rack. Therefore, the responsiveness must be improved to use the model-based sensorless system. The position compensation algorithm designed in this study is controlled by converting the position error into the beta, which is the angle formed by the d-axis and the stator current during sudden speed change. In this study, we improved the response of the model-based sensorless system through the algorithm and verified the algorithm validity by applying the algorithm to an actual dual-motor supercharger.

When a control algorithm is developed to protect automotive compressor surges, the simulation model typically selects an empirically determined look-up table. However, it is difficult for a control oriented empirical model to show surge characteristics of the super charger. In this study, a dynamic supercharger model is developed to predict the performance of a centrifugal compressor under dynamic load follow-up. The model is developed using Simulink$^{(R)}$ environment, and is composed of a compressor, throttle body, valves, and chamber. Greitzer's compressor model is used, and the geometric parameters are achieved by the actual supercharger. The simulation model is validated with experimental data. It is shown that compressor surge is effectively predicted by this dynamic compressor model under various operating conditions.
