Abstract: A turbocharger for an internal combustion engine has a bearing housing, in which a rotor shaft is mounted in a rotatable manner. A compressor having a compressor wheel is arranged for conjoint rotation on the rotor shaft. A fresh air supply channel conducts a fresh air mass flow to the compressor wheel. The fresh air supply channel has a first flow cross section upstream of the compressor wheel. A flow control device is provided and is adjustable between an open position, in which the first flow cross section is opened up, and a closed position, in which the first flow cross section is reduced to a second flow cross section. The flow control device is fluidically coupled to a compressor channel of the compressor downstream of the compressor wheel, such that the flow control device is adjusted in a manner dependent on a pressure prevailing in the compressor channel.

Abstract: A turbocharger has a shaft with a rotational axis, a radial/axial turbine wheel which is arranged in a turbine housing and which is connected to the shaft in a non-rotatable manner, and a bearing housing which adjoins the turbine housing and which contains a lateral wall facing the turbine housing. A sub-region of the lateral wall of the bearing housing forms a sub-region of the rear wall of the turbine housing. The sub-region of the bearing housing has two sub-sections, one of which runs diagonally to the rotational axis in an inflow direction of an exhaust gas flow conducted into the turbine housing and the second of which runs in a radial direction relative to the rotational axis of the shaft and parallel to the rear wall of the turbine wheel. The two sub-sections are connected to each other via an exhaust gas flow separation edge of the bearing housing.

The current-converter modules in the current-converter cabinet are arranged so that the current-converter modules of each current-converter phase form a horizontal row of modules arranged one beside the other and the rows are arranged vertically one above the other.

Abstract: A converter includes multiple submodules that are serially connected on the input side to a DC power supply circuit via an inductor. Each submodule has an input-side half bridge and an at least single-phase output-side full bridge and an intermediate circuit capacitor connecting the half bridge and the full bridge forming an intermediate DC voltage circuit. According to the method, the submodules are alternately connected to the power supply circuit, thereby also connecting the intermediate circuit capacitor of the respective connected submodule to the power supply circuit, and the intermediate circuit voltage dropping across the respective intermediate circuit capacitor of each submodule is measured. The submodule to be connected is selected according to the voltage deviation of the corresponding intermediate circuit voltage from a specified target voltage value.
