  • Publication number: 20200408143
    Abstract: A turbocharger turbine rotor includes a rotor basic body, and moving blades configured without an outer shroud. The moving blades, forming a defined curvature region, merge into the rotor basic body with a defined, constant or variable curvature radius rf. On a first group of first moving blades, the following relationship applies to the curvature radius of the curvature region of the first moving blades: 2.5%?rf1*100/l?10%, wherein rf1 is the constant or variable curvature radius of the curvature region of the first moving blades and l the length of the first moving blades on a flow trailing edge. On a second group of second moving blades, the curvature radius rf2 of the curvature region of the second moving blades deviates from the curvature radius rf1 of the curvature region of the first moving blades on the damping side in a defined manner.

  • Publication number: 20200386116
    Abstract: A turbocharger, having a turbine and a compressor. The turbine comprises a turbine housing and a turbine rotor with turbine blades. Radially outer edges of the rotor blades and a portion of the turbine housing or a stator-side component connected to the turbine housing define a turbine-side gap. The compressor comprises a compressor housing and a compressor rotor with compressor blades. Radially outer edges of the compressor blades and a portion of the compressor housing facing the compressor blades or a stator-side component connected to the compressor housing define a compressor-side gap. The portion of the turbine housing facing the turbine rotor blades or the stator-side component connected to the turbine housing and/or the portion of the compressor housing facing the compressor rotor blades or the stator-side component connected to the compressor housing comprises a running-in structure comprising hollow spaces.
