  • Patent number: 6443696
    Abstract: An exhaust-gas turbocharger turbine of an internal combustion engine is provided with a spiral guide passage arranged in a turbine housing, a turbine impeller, a flow gap be ween the guide passage and the turbine impeller, and guide blades forming a guide cascade. The guide cascade with the guide blades projects axially from a support, arranged so as to be displaceable in the axial direction in the turbine housing, in such a way that the guide blades, in normal operation, are mounted in recesses of a housing wall part of the turbine housing, the recesses, in the form of a female piece, forming a mating profile shape for the guide blades. In braking operation of the internal combustion engine, the guide blades project into the flow gap during an axial displacement of the support. The device with actuation for the braking operation can be fitted as a complete module into the turbine spiral.

  • Patent number: 6412452
    Abstract: In an internal combustion engine, with a cylinder head having a coolant space associated with each combustion chamber, wherein the coolant space comprises, for each cylinder of the engine, a first coolant chamber and a second coolant chamber separate from one another, the coolant space has a coolant inlet which extends to the outside and is connected to a coolant supply line for directly supplying coolant from the outside to the first and second coolant chambers.

  • Patent number: 6314736
    Abstract: An exhaust gas turbine portion of a vehicle engine turbocharger is provided with at least one variable guide-blade cascade with guide blades in a nozzle opening to the turbocharger rotor for effectively changing the cross section of the exhaust flow to the rotor wherein the angle of the guide blades is selectively settable by an adjusting device. The width dimension of the gap between the ends of the guide-blade cascade and the casing wall defining the nozzle is adjustable between a substantially zero gap dimension and a maximum gap dimension.

  • Patent number: 6223534
    Abstract: In an engine braking arrangement for an internal combustion engine with an exhaust gas turbocharger including a turbine arranged in the engine exhaust duct and a compressor driven by the turbine and arranged in the engine intake duct, a brake valve disposed in the exhaust duct upstream of the turbine and a pressure relief line extending from the exhaust duct upstream of the turbine rotor to an area downstream of the turbine and including a stop valve, the stop valve is a rotationally adjustable rotary valve operable by an actuating device depending on the intake pressure in the intake duct.
