摘要:
The propensity for gas and soot leakage around a shaft, which extends through a bore which connects volumes of differing pressures, e.g., a turbocharger turbine housing and the ambient air, is minimized with the addition of a pair of seal rings axially biased by a spring to provide a continuous gas and soot seal. The spring may bias the seal rings apart from each other or towards each other.

A knife assembly includes a knife blade and a mounting assembly having a knife blade support portion extending along a longitudinal axis of the mounting assembly. The knife blade support portion is constructed and arranged to position a cutting edge of the knife blade distal to a leading edge of the mounting assembly. The mounting assembly also has a counter knife portion disposed at the leading edge of the mounting assembly that defines a set back distance with the knife blade. The set back distance is constructed and arranged to provide a travel path for a wafer.

A turbocharger uses a high speed rolling element bearing system. An exemplary rolling element bearing system includes a polymer sleeve to impede the flow of heat from the bearing housing into the outer race of the rolling element bearing system. In a second embodiment of the invention, the sleeve is supported by an oil film. In a third embodiment of the invention, the bearing cartridge is damped by a damping medium which also connects the bearing cartridge to the bearing housing.

A low emissivity, low shading coefficient window consisting of two panes of glass. The first pane having a low wave infrared reflecting and a visible light and shortwave infrared absorbing section of coatings on its inside surface. A second pane spaced about one half inch from the inside surface of the first pane to protect the coatings on the first pane and to insulate the coating. The infrared reflecting section consists of six layers of metals and metal oxides with the stainless steel being used for the absorption of the visible light and shortwave. The first layer consists of a metal oxide selected from the group consisting of tin oxide, zinc oxide, or a combination of zinc and tin oxide. The second layer is of silver or sterling silver. The third layer is stainless steel. The fourth layer is a barrier metal consisting of aluminum titanium, zinc, tin, nickel, chrome or its alloy. The fifth layer is selected from the same group as the first layer. The sixth layer is of titanium oxide.

To solve both axial and rotational constraint problems in turbochargers with rolling element bearings (REBs), a REB cartridge is mounted to the bearing housing in a way that is not rigid, thus allowing for an oil damping film. At the same time, the REB cartridge is held both axially and rotationally, so that the outer race does not rotate relative to the bearing housing. This dual purpose is achieved using a special dual-mode spring clip with at least one anti-rotation feature for engaging the bearing housing and at least one anti-rotation feature for engaging the REB cartridge, thereby axially locating the REB cartridge and preventing rotation of the outer race.

To solve heat soak and reduced heat rejection capability problems in turbochargers with rolling element bearings (REBs), the REB cartridge is mounted to the bearing housing in a way that is not rigid, thus allows for an oil damping film, but, at the same time, the REB cartridge is held both axially, to transfer thrust loads to the bearing housing, and rotationally, so that the REB cartridge does not rotate relative to the bearing housing, using male or female features in the REB and corresponding female or male features associated with the bearing bore or the turbine face of the bearing housing closure.

To impede soot leakage around a shaft which extends through a bore connecting volumes of differing pressures, e.g., a turbocharger turbine housing and the ambient air, a soot seal is provided to capture particulate matter while allowing the passage of gas.

A turbocharger using a high speed rolling element bearing system is improved in desired speed and life by providing an insulating spacer, with a thermal conductivity lower than that of the material in the inner race of the REB, between the turbine-end of the inner race of the bearing system and the compressor-end face of the piston ring boss to impede the flow of heat from the turbine wheel to the inner race of the rolling element bearing.
