Sumario:[EN] Nowadays, the turbocharger has become one of the key components for automotive spark-ignition engine improvements (fed with both liquid and gaseous fuels), as a support for the boosting and downsizing concept to reduce fuel consumption and exhaust emission. In gasoline engines, the usage of the waste-gate valve typically regulates the maximum boost pressure in the turbocharger system, to protect the engine and the turbocharger at high engine speeds. To improve the transient response at low engine speeds two-stage turbocharger is widely used. Two-stage systems are composed of several valves to regulate the flow to control the boosting of the system. Like, a by-pass valve between the turbines, a check valve between the compressor and a waste-gate valve for the low-pressure turbines. This paper deals with a methodology for characterizing the discharge coefficient of an electronic waste-gate valve in the turbocharger. To estimate the gas flow over the same in one-dimensional models, an empirical model is correlated and validated. For this, a constant stream experimental work has been carried out on a test rig at different valve position openings, with high turbine inlet temperatures. Finally, an optimal MAP of discharge coefficient has been drawn out through interpolation method, which can integrate into the full one-dimensional turbocharged engine model system, to calculate the actual mass flow through the waste-gate valve.
