Sequential turbos w/ anti surge ring??
Sequential turbos w/ anti surge ring??
(OP)
Hi, I've been planning a sequential turbo setup, which would consist of a small turbo feeding a larger turbo, and am stuck on a small detail. The large turbo I'm looking to get has an anti-surge ring on the compressor housing. I'm not familiar w/ the technical aspects of this ring, but have seen how it's designed into the housing. Could anyone provide info on anti-surge rings and/or opinions/theories on how the larger turbine may respond w/ air being forced through it (without going into how the small turbo will ultimately become a restriction)?
Thanks!
Mike

RE: Sequential turbos w/ anti surge ring??
Here's the scenario:
Ambient air at 1 atm pressure + large volume
==> large turbocharger
==> air at 2 atms pressure & medium volume
==> Intercooler (natch!!)
==> smaller turbocharger
==> air at 4 atms pressure & small volume.
Since the low pressure air (ambient) would have a greater volume, you would want the larger turbocharger to handle that, and the smaller turbocharger to handle the small volume but more dense air.
