  • Patent number: 8419350
    Abstract: An exhaust-gas turbocharger for an internal combustion engine is described herein, in particular for a motor vehicle. An exhaust-gas side sacrificial sealing ring that serves as a heat shield is replaced by a step formed in a housing and in a hub, the step serving to assume the function of a heat shield instead of the sacrificial sealing ring. This design feature reduces production costs in connection with the outlay for the sacrificial sealing ring.

  • Patent number: 8328503
    Abstract: Charging equipment is disclosed, comprising a variable turbine geometry, and a plurality of guide vanes rotatably mounted between at least one of a guide vane carrier, a cover disc and a turbine housing. The guide vane carrier is positioned on at least one of the cover disc and on the turbine housing by at least one spacer. The geometry has at least two different types of flow channels, a first flow channel wherein flow is influenced by the spacer, and a second flow channel wherein flow is not influenced by the spacer. The first flow channel guide vanes have a radial distance (R1) to a turbine wheel axis, and to a distance from an adjacent guide vane are configured and adjusted such that a gas flow from the first flow channel meeting the turbine wheel corresponds to a gas flow from the second flow channel meeting the turbine wheel.
