More Information
Summary:Disclosed herein are turbocharger systems and methods for their operation. In one embodiment a turbocharger system (2) is disclosed. The turbocharger system comprises a turbine (4), a compressor (6), an air inlet (16), a first sensor (22), a second sensor (24), and a controller (26). The turbine is mechanically connected to the compressor and the air inlet is connected in fluid communication to the compressor. The first sensor and the second sensor are connected in operational communication with the air inlet and disposed a sufficient distance from one another to be capable of measuring a temperature differential caused by a hot boundary layer. The controller is connected in operational communication with the first sensor and the second sensor, and the controller is configured to detect surge precursors.
