  • Adjustable compressor trim
    Patent number: 9777737
    Abstract: An assembly can include a compressor housing, an adjustable wall disposed within the compressor housing that defines an air inlet to an inducer portion of a compressor wheel, and an adjustment mechanism to adjust the wall and thereby adjust at least a diameter of the air inlet. Various other examples of devices, assemblies, systems, methods, etc., are also disclosed.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 13, 2012
    Date of Patent: October 3, 2017
    Assignee: Honeywell International Inc.
    Inventors: Vit Houst, Josef Ferda, Milan Nejedly, Daniel Turecek
  • AXIAL TURBINE WITH RADIAL VNT VANES
    Publication number: 20150159660
    Abstract: A turbocharger including a turbine wheel having a hub-to-tip ratio of no more than 60% and blades with a high turning angle, a turbine housing forming an inwardly spiraling primary-scroll passageway that significantly converges to produce highly accelerated airflow into the turbine at high circumferential angles, and a two-sided parallel compressor. The compressor and turbine each produce substantially no axial force, allowing the use of minimal axial thrust bearings.
