Abstract:
A compressor assembly may include a compressor housing and a compressor impeller disposed within the compressor housing. The compressor housing may have an internal aerodynamic surface that defines a circumferentially extending volute, and the compressor impeller may have an external aerodynamic surface that faces toward at least a portion of the internal aerodynamic surface of the compressor housing. A nonstick coating may be formed on the internal aerodynamic surface of the compressor housing or on the external aerodynamic surface of the compressor impeller. The nonstick coating may prevent foreign material introduced into the compressor assembly from collecting on the internal aerodynamic surface of the compressor housing or on the external aerodynamic surface of the compressor impeller.
