Abstract:
In the turbine housing for an exhaust gas turbocharger of a drive assembly at least one spiral channel, which can be coupled to an exhaust gas line of the drive assembly is provided A receiving chamber for a turbine wheel to which exhaust gas can be supplied is disposed upstream of the at least one spiral channel. The turbine wheel is disposed in the turbine housing so as to be rotatable about a rotational axis. A guide baffle is arranged fixed to the turbine housing in a transition region between the at least one spiral channel, the guide baffle being connected to the turbine housing by a metal-to-metal joint whereby the guide baffle is connected to the turbine housing in a particular tight manner.

In an air supplier particularly for air supply systems for fuel cells including a compressor having a housing with a radial diffuser and including a rotor operated by an electric motor, a diverting channel is connected to the radial diffuser providing a communication path guiding the air via an axial annular channel to an inwardly extending collecting chamber via a final diffuser formed by a curved end section of a wall delimiting the annular passage and an inwardly curved wall area of the collection chamber, the compressor housing having an outer diameter is not substantially larger than the outer diameter of the electric motor.
Abstract:
In an exhaust-gas turbine of an exhaust-gas turbo-charger including a turbine wheel which is rotatably supported in a housing and to which exhaust gas can be supplied via an inlet channel and discharged out of the exhaust-gas turbine via an outlet duct, wherein a guide vane structure and an axial slide which interacts with the latter, are disposed in the turbine inlet at the transition from the inlet channel to the turbine wheel, the guide vane structure is fixedly mounted with respect to the housing and the axial slide is arranged at the turbine outlet side and is movably supported on an outlet duct contour sleeve and provided with an axial opening for accommodating the guide vane structure, and the contour sleeve includes openings which conduct exhaust gas from the inlet channel directly to the outlet duct and which are arranged so that they are covered by the axial slide when the axial slide is moved out of its open position, the guide vane structure extending axially over the contour sleeve openings so as to impart a swirl to the exhaust gas being discharged via the contour sleeve openings when the slide member is in an open position.
Abstract:
In an exhaust gas turbocharger for an internal combustion engine having a turbine wheel connected, by means of a shaft, to the compressor wheel of a compressor which includes a variable inlet geometry comprising a plunger and a sleeve-shaped partition for controlling an auxiliary duct leading radially to the compressor wheel, which is provided with compressor wheel blades to which air is supplied axially via an axial inlet passage and radially via a radial wheel inlet area, the compressor wheel includes a contoured ring provided at its outer circumferential surface with auxiliary blades disposed over, and aligned with, the compressor wheel blades in the radial and the axial wheel inlet region of the compressor wheel.
Abstract:
In a supercharged internal combustion engine having an intake duct and an exhaust gas recirculation system and comprising an exhaust gas turbine with two separate flow passages of different flow cross-sections arranged upstream of a turbine rotor of the exhaust gas turbine, each flow passage being in communication with a respective engine exhaust line for supplying it with exhaust gas and an exhaust gas recirculation line extending from one of the engine exhaust lines to the engine intake duct, a bypass line bypassing the exhaust gas turbine is provided and a common control element is arranged in the recirculation line of the exhaust gas recirculation system and in the bypass line for controlling the exhaust gas flow from the recirculation line selectively to none or any of the intake duct and the turbine bypass line.
Abstract:
In an internal combustion engine provided with two exhaust gas turbochargers which each comprise a turbine in an exhaust line and one compressor in an intake section of the engine, two exhaust lines are provided which are each assigned to at least one of the exhaust gas turbines, an exhaust gas recirculation device being arranged between an exhaust line upstream of an exhaust gas turbine and the intake section downstream of a compressor and the two exhaust lines including bypass lines with a control valve for selectively permitting the exhaust gas to bypass the turbine closer to the engine.
Abstract:
In an internal combustion engine which is alternatively operated in a powered four-stroke engine driving mode and in a two-stroke engine braking mode with an inlet and an outlet valve stroke curve control device which is provided for adjusting the stroke of both the inlet and of the outlet valves, the valve stroke curve control device holds the outlet valve continuously open in the engine braking mode.
Abstract:
