Match-Bot
The team at BorgWarner has developed an interactive turbocharger matching program that is internet based. Called Match-Bot, the first step is to enter the engine input data. For each piece of input data, helpful pop-ups are provided. These helpful tips guide the user through entering appropriate engine targets by means of giving example ranges of numbers. Parameters such as BSFC, VE, and exhaust gas temperature are often difficult for the user to estimate, but helpful suggestions are offered each step of the way.
