Mechanical superchargers, to be honest, are nothing new to all the journalists in this hall who have been engaged in automobile mechanics for half their lives, and who have been dancing in this field
What's more, the world's largest manufacturer of Rhodes-style superchargers is the American Eaton company, compared to turbochargers, Americans prefer superchargers, because this thing is simpler and more reliable than turbochargers, although this thing is more fuel-intensive.
However, in the world, because of some inherent shortcomings of supercharging, and mechanical supercharging can not reach the supercharging ratio of turbocharging, superchargers are not very popular.
In addition to some models in the United States and Volkswagen, there are very few models in the world that use supercharging.
The supercharger that appeared at the booth of Huayang Power was significantly different from the superchargers they had seen before.
Everyone is accustomed to seeing the traditional Eaton fifth-generation supercharger, in the development of supercharger to this day, Eaton can be said to have exerted the power of the supercharger to the limit, the design of the fan blade rotor, 60 degrees of corner, all of which has become a benchmark in the hearts of American journalists.
But this mechanical supercharger produced by Huayang Power from the Heavenly Empire, from the appearance, seems to be completely subverted, the image of the traditional mechanical supercharger, this guy actually has 4 rotors, and there is a 160-degree corner, what is the benefit of such a design?
Many reporters were skeptical, although after reading Huayang Power's explanation, they still couldn't turn a corner for a while.
Just when everyone was talking about it in the audience and expressing their confusion about this mechanical supercharger, Jin Xiaoqiang had already walked from behind the scenes to the front of the stage.
Originally, I just wanted to quietly push this supercharger to the front of the stage, and then a few years later, when the engine equipped with this supercharger was installed in the new car, I was explaining it to the big guys, but I thought that the current Huayang Power has become the target of careful observation under the magnifying glass.
The slightest action will cause these reporters to gossip, so now it seems that they have to stand up and explain.
"Mr. Kim, Mr. Kim, what is the difference between your supercharger and Eaton's supercharger?"
Before Jin Xiaoqiang could calm down, the reporters in the audience couldn't help it, and a somewhat bald guy took the lead and asked. /Very literary/
"Uh...... Very different in appearance......"
Jin Xiaoqiang rolled his eyes and replied to this reporter, but he was secretly scolding in his heart, Are you blind Our supercharger is very different from Eaton's supercharger in appearance.
But his answer caused a burst of laughter in the audience, obviously those reporters also agreed with Jin Xiaoqiang's point of view, and they were laughing at the reporter's question, which was too substandard.
What is the difference with Eaton's supercharger, haha, the biggest difference is that in the shape and internal design, there are already cutaway drawings on it, are you blind?
"Uh...... I'm sorry, I'm a little anxious, I want to ask Mr. Kim, is there any connection between your supercharger and Eaton's supercharger? According to my observations, this supercharger is very similar to Eaton's supercharger in many details. ”
The bald reporter was very calm, and the ridicule of the big guy just now did not interfere with him too much.
"Well, I can say that there are a lot of things to figure out and a lot of differences. Indeed, the fundamental concept of the design of this supercharger is indeed derived from Eaton's supercharger, but we are based on the original Eaton's fifth-generation supercharger, but we have made a lot of subversive designs, such as we have changed the air inlet and outlet, changed the rotor blade design, changed the rotation angle, and so on. ”…,
Jin Xiaoqiang did not hide the pedigree of this supercharger, after all, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the connection between this supercharger and Eaton, and he and Eaton have also reached an understanding on patent transfer, so he has nothing to fear.
Jin Xiaoqiang can guess with his toes what bullshit questions the reporters will ask, and they will definitely wonder if he has plagiarized Eaton's patented design.
"Then I would like to ask, Mr. Jin, since your supercharger is based on Eaton's fifth-generation supercharger, do you have any fees for transferring patents like Eaton?"
The middle-aged male reporter with bald hair continued to ask, at this time the top of his excited head was a little sweaty, and at this time it looked like his head was very bright.
After all, there are not many opportunities to seize the handle of Huayang Power, and the people of the Celestial Empire have always liked to plagiarize, this time it will definitely be no surprise, they must have plagiarized Eaton's design concept, this is a very good opportunity to discredit Huayang Power
If you want to go back to the past few years, as a company founded by a yellow race, and still born in a country that is not very friendly to the United States, as an arrogant and rude American, it must be a little difficult to accept.
In fact, the sour grapes mentality has always existed in the minds of these Western journalists.
"Hehe, my answer may disappoint you, sorry. Some time ago, we have reached an agreement with Eaton on the transfer of technology patents, so the birth of this supercharger can be said to be reasonable and legal. ”
Jin Xiaoqiang replied with a smile, but not only did the bald reporter feel very disappointed, but even in the audience, many Western reporters who originally had a dark psychology felt a little disappointed.
"Mr. Kim, as far as we know, you have been vigorously promoting your models with turbocharged engines, and according to market feedback, your turbochargers are indeed very reliable. But now, you have actually developed a supercharger, and as far as I know, the supercharger, although simple and reliable, but in terms of performance, there is no way to compare with the turbocharger, so in this way, what is the purpose of your development of this supercharger? ”
A bespectacled reporter stood up and asked, his question was more insidious than the bald man just now, apparently he thought that the supercharger was not performing very well, and that it was just a product to fool consumers.
"Well, the boost ratio of the supercharger is not as good as the boost ratio of the turbocharger, which was a fact in the past, but after the birth of this supercharger, the problems that have been bothering everyone before will not exist. Our supercharger, which I named the Super Supercharger, uses a new 4-piece rotor and 160-degree angle design, which allows him to supply up to a ton of fresh air to the engine at a speed of 23,000 rpm in an hour, and his maximum boost ratio of 25 makes him completely inferior to any turbocharger......
"Buzz ......"
"Shenma? My ears aren't broken, are they? ”
"Did I hear me right? A boost ratio of 25? How much fresh air is transported in one ton per hour? ”
"How is this possible? Is this guy bragging? ”
"Unlikely? Jin Xiaoqiang has made amazing statements many times at the International Auto Show, but every time what he says finally becomes the truth, he is not the kind of person who has no evidence. So what he says, you'd better believe it! ”
"What? Then his supercharger is too rebellious, right? That's amazing, isn't it? ”
The reporters in the audience were shocked by the data released by Jin Xiaoqiang again, and they just introduced the description of the supercharger, but there are only some simple data, and the facts that Jin Xiaoqiang said are not included. …,
"Unlike the traditional Eaton supercharger, our supercharger does not use any air compression, but uses a new spiral rotor to make the air flow inside more linear, and we have patented the new design of the inlet and outlet ports for this supercharger, and these two intake and exhaust ports are designed to improve efficiency and reduce noise. And because of our unique design, this supercharger has a low loss when the speed reaches a certain level and does not interfere with the engine operation, when the speed is more than 80 kilometers per hour when cruising at a fixed speed, his loss is less than 03 kilowatts......"
Jin Xiaoqiang doesn't care what these reporters are thinking or discussing, he just continues to drop concept bombs into the heads of journalists.
And these bombs composed of data exploded over and over again in the minds of these reporters, which stunned these reporters, and they could no longer ask any questions about Huayang Power, this supercharger, and Jin Xiaoqiang......
"Moreover, this supercharger, after our unique design, has the characteristics of self-sealing, it does not need to be connected to the external oil circuit, so it has its own unique gearbox oil lubrication system like our turbocharger, so you can understand that this supercharger is the same as our previous turbocharger, it is a lifetime maintenance-free product. And please rest assured, this system, we have installed more than 40 cars, has been verified, and verified for about a year, more than 240,000 kilometers, so what I said above is solid data, absolutely reliable......"
