Abstract

In vehicles system, there are many type of energy flow from fuel as a chemical energy to the exhaust system as a thermal energy. Without realize, there have a lots of wasted energy been occurs when the engine starts running. In fact, there only 15 percent of the energy from the fuel from tank gets used to move car down the road or run useful accessories. The rest of the energy is lost to engine, idling, accessories, driveline, aerodynamic drag, rolling resistance and overcoming inertia or braking. Such as in exhaust system, the temperature at the exhaust manifold can reach around 900 ºC and this heat will lose to atmosphere. So, the recovery system must be creating to solve this problem. One of the systems is “Turbo System” which uses the energy losses from the exhaust system by convert to electric energy. In this system, the energy that flow to the exhaust will rotating the turbine and the turbine will drive the addition alternator. This alternator functions to produce current by converting from the mechanical energy to electric energy. The current produced can be stored to the battery and maybe the electric energy can use as an energy source of hybrid vehicles.
