After dealing briefly with the mode of operation of the Comprex® pressure wave supercharger, a report is given on its general advantages and drawbacks as well as on experience gained in practical operations on the supercharging system, using a 2.2 dm3 prechamber passenger car diesel engine. The most important problems which occurred here and the performance and exhaust emission figures resulting from rig and road test measurements are discussed.
