  • Water-cooled centrifugal compressor housing assembly, and turbocharger incorporating same
    Patent number: 11566537
    Abstract: A water-cooled compressor housing assembly for a turbocharger includes a compressor housing that defines an open-ended cavity extending axially downstream into the compressor housing, and a separately formed cover that is affixed to the compressor housing so as to close the open end of the cavity and thereby define a coolant passage for a liquid coolant to be circulated through. A coolant inlet and a coolant outlet are provided for supplying coolant into and exhausting coolant from the coolant passage. The compressor housing has a simplified geometry that is manufacturable by sand casting without needed a sand core for the coolant passage, or by die casting.
