Effect of Several Supercharger Control Methods on Engine Performance
Abstract
Single-speed, two-speed, variable-speed DVL centrifugal, and Szydlowski-Planoil superchargers with both single- and two-speed transmission and turbosupercharger are compared analytically. Calculations indicate that variable-speed DVL supercharger, Szydlowski-Planoil and turbosupercharger give larger propeller power below critical altitudes than either of the remaining two types. If minor losses are neglected, large increase in propeller power over power given by two-speed DVL supercharger can be realized with turbosupercharger, variable-speed DVL and Szydlowski-Planoil supercharger.
