    摘要: The disclosure relates to a valve assembly 10 for controlling a volute connecting opening 324 of a multi-channel turbine 500. The valve assembly 10 comprises a housing portion 300, a valve body 100 and an internal lever 200. The housing portion 300 defines a first volute channel 312, a second volute channel 314 and a volute connecting region 320. The housing portion 300 further comprises a cavity 340. The cavity 340 is separated from the volutes 312, 314 and can be accessed from outside the housing portion 300 via a housing opening 342 which extends from outside the housing portion 300 into the cavity 340. The volute connection region 320 is located between the first volute channel 312 and the second volute channel 314 and defines a volute connecting opening 324. The valve body 100 is inserted in the cavity 340 of the housing portion 300 and comprises at least one fin 120. The internal lever 200 is coupled with the valve body 100 and configured to pivotably move the valve body 100 between a first position and a second position. In the first position of the valve body 100, the fin 120 blocks the volute connecting opening 324.

    摘要: A variable guide vane assembly has: variable guide vanes having airfoils extending from inner ends to outer ends, the variable guide vanes pivotable about respective spanwise axes between one or more open positions and a closed position, in the closed position, trailing edge regions of the airfoils sealingly engage leading edge regions of adjacent ones of the airfoils to block an air flow; an outer wall extending around the central axis, the outer ends of the variable guide vanes pivotably engaged to the outer wall; and an inner wall extending around the central axis, the inner ends of the variable guide vanes pivotably engaged to the inner wall, the inner wall defining inner faces distributed about the central axis, a shape of the inner faces complementary to a shape of the inner ends of the airfoils to form a seal when the variable guide vanes are in the closed position.

    摘要: A turbocharger wastegate actuator arm includes a first section made from a rigid composite material, a second section made from a rigid composite material, and a third section made from a flexible polymeric material positioned between and interconnecting the first and second sections and adapted to allow angular deflection of the first section relative to the second section, wherein a longitudinal axis of the first section and a longitudinal axis of the second section define a first angle when the actuator arm is in the first position and the longitudinal axis of the first section and the longitudinal axis of the second section define a second angle when the actuator arm is in the second position, the first angle being greater than the second angle.
