Abstract

The turbo charger is one of the basic accessories used in passenger vehicles and commercial vehicles & it consist of part called waste gate which is operated through pneumatic actuator but the problem in this actuator is actuation response time is very slow and also there is a leakage of exhaust gases during the operating of pneumatic actuator. To overcome this problem we recommended in adapting new technology of using Electrical actuator to operate the wastegate in Indian automotive turbocharger market. The main objective is to do market research study about the existing product in the market and make comparison with new technology of using Electrical actuator in controlling of wastegate in Indian automotive turbocharger market. This market study consists of information about the product feasibility, competitors, customers, market shares, market growth & market size for the existing product in Indian market. Based upon all this data the frame work of analysis has been done through descriptive statistics & chi-square relation statistics which gives conclusion to adapt Electrical actuator in place of Pneumatic actuator in Indian automotive turbocharger market.
