Influence of Induced Unbalance on Subsynchronous Vibrations of an Automotive Turbocharger
نویسنده
چکیده
Rotordynamic instability is present in most or all automotive turbochargers. High subsynchronous amplitudes can cause a variety of problems in areas such as mechanical failures, emissions regulations and rotor design. Self-excited vibrations from sources of damping can lock in at lateral natural frequencies causing dangerously high vibration levels. The resulting highamplitude conical and bending modes can be reduced in order to achieve a more robust system. This research focuses on the relationship between synchronous and subsynchronous amplitude levels. It is theorized that an increase in unbalance could cause a reduction in subsynchronous vibration amplitudes. Through the use of a custom turbocharger, a series of unbalances were applied to both the turbine and compressor wheels and the resulting amplitudes were recorded off a modified compressor nut. The resulting data were reduced and are presented at the end of this paper.

As one of the most common faults, rotor imbalance in a turbocharger will give rise to the bending vibration, which may cause damage to and even destroy the bearings and impellers. Therefore, it is necessary to detect rotor imbalance as early as possible. The present paper develops a mathematical model for investigating the rotor dynamic characteristics of a commercial automotive turbocharger su...
