摘要:
A wastegate assembly (12) having a valve (16) to control exhaust gas flow bypassing a turbine wheel of a turbocharger. The wastegate assembly (12) has a wastegate port (14) for flow bypassing the turbine wheel. The valve (16) has an arm (20) controlling a valve head (22) relative to the port (14) for selectively blocking and unblocking the port (14) to control flow. A valve seat (26) may surround the port (14) to be operable with the valve head (22) to selectively block the port (14). A contoured side wall (30) is disposed adjacent to the port (14) and extends from the turbine housing (10) so as to be radially offset from a valve margin (25). The contoured side wall (30) may have a concave portion (40) adjacent to the valve head (22) to help effectuate desired flow at specific valve opening angles.
摘要:
An exhaust gas turbocharger with a wastegate port configured to permit some exhaust gas flow to exit a turbine volute upstream of the turbine wheel and enter a bypass channel thereby bypassing the turbine wheel, a valve with a valve head dimensioned to seat on a valve seat and to move between a seated position and an open position, the bypass channel having a sidewall contoured to surround the valve head as the valve head moves between the seated position and the open position, he bypass channel sidewall shaped so that a throat area (At) area between the bypass channel sidewall and valve head gradually increases as the valve head moves between the seated and the open position, such the bypass flow is controlled by the throat area (At) and not the area between the valve head and the valve seat.
