More Information
Summary:A regulated two-stage turbocharger system is provided. The turbocharger system includes high-pressure and low-pressure turbochargers in communication with one another. The turbocharger system includes a valve system having valves that are independently controllable so as to selectively control the gas flow into the turbine portions of the high-pressure turbocharger and the low-pressure turbocharger. The valves are asymmetric with differing perimeters, diameters, and sizes with respect to one another.
