Overview
The Institution’s International Conference on Turbochargers and Turbocharging returns to its in-person format in 2023 to address the latest advances, research and developments in turbocharging system designs and boosting solutions.
It will address current and novel turbocharging system choices and components with a renewed emphasis to address the challenges posed by emission regulations and market trends.
Bringing together the international automotive engineering community, the conference will once more provide an essential forum for all engineers, researchers, OEMs, suppliers and academics to present technical findings, share innovative solutions and make valuable new connections within this specialised field.
Don't miss this opportunity to join the conference to learn about the latest developments leading to enhanced performance and efficiency, increased durability and reduced emissions in line with meeting Net-Zero and global emissions targets.
Finally, all conference speakers and attendees are warmly invited to the exclusive drinks reception and networking dinner at the end of the first day of proceedings to review the day's presentations, continue discussions and build your network of contacts in the industry.
CONFERENCE TOPICS IN 2023 INCLUDE:
- Air management in powertrains: conventional, hybrids, fuel cells and novel configurations
- Alternate fuels and their needs in boosting (e.g. hydrogen, synthetic fuels)
- Electrification of turbochargers, compressors, and exhaust turbines
- Simulation and testing techniques, data analytics, including AI and digital twins
- Thermal management, waste heat recovery and expanders
- Turbomachinery aerodynamic: novel compressors & turbines and multi-stage systems.
- Component fatigue life, bearing design, rotor-dynamics and durability prediction
- Mechatronics, control, sensors and power electronics
- High speed turbomachinery in propulsion and power systems Future Legislation needs for thermal propulsion systems
WHY ENGINEERS ARE LOOKING FORWARD TO THE CONFERENCE:

"Today, the turbocharger’s value proposition is challenged when observed from a more traditional perspective. However, turbochargers (and other smaller scale turbomachinery) will undoubtedly play a crucial role in the transition towards a zero-carbon society. Here it is essential that industry and engineers remain aligned, together (re)define the appropriate design criteria and thereby making sure transition demands will be met."
Rogier Lammers, Manager Advanced Technology, Turbocharger Engineering Department

"Given the wide range of presentations on the programme, it is difficult to pinpoint specific speakers or presentations! Personally, I am very interested in all content related to the energy transition. As well as providing engineers with key insights from the papers presented, such a venue is a fantastic opportunity to network within the turbocharging community."

"The ICE and turbocharging industry is facing a turmoil in the market of energy conversion for transport and electricity. In the academic world, students are turning away from rather traditional turbomachinery and combustion related disciplines and towards other more popular fields in the electric vehicle sector. The future of turbocharging technology depends on the constant rejuvenation of the community with new young talents. Sharing our experience in the turbocharging industry at the conference, not only about current technological innovations, is more important than ever."
