Abstract: A bracket includes a bracket housing that has a bore extending through the bracket housing and that has a channel extending through the bracket housing between a first channel opening and a second channel opening. The bore provides fluid communication between the power electronic device and the compressor assembly. A terminal block subassembly is disposed in the channel. The terminal block subassembly includes a plurality of busbars spaced apart from each other and each extending between a first busbar end and a second busbar end. An overmold encasement is disposed over the busbars between the first and second busbar ends. The first busbar ends are disposed adjacent to the first channel opening and electrically couple to a compressor assembly and the second busbar ends are disposed adjacent to the second channel opening and electrically couple to a power electronic device.

Abstract: A foil bearing system includes a journal member with an internal groove and a foil arrangement. The foil arrangement includes at least one biasing foil and a top foil insert member. The at least one biasing foil is received between the journal member and the shaft in a radial direction with respect to the axis. The top foil insert member includes a top foil and a spine insert. The top foil includes an arcuate portion that is disposed between the at least one biasing foil and the shaft in the radial direction and that extends in a circumferential direction about the axis. The top foil includes an end that extends from the arcuate portion. The spine insert is received within the internal groove, and the spine insert is fixedly attached to the end of the top foil.

Abstract: A bypass valve assembly for a turbocharger includes a bypass valve having a valve stem rotatable about a valve stem axis for opening and closing the valve. The end of a first crank of an articulated two-bar linkage is connected to the valve stem. The end of a second crank of the linkage is connected to a cam follower engaged with a guide cam. An actuator provides motive force to the cam follower to proceed along the guide cam, which is configured to advance the cam follower along a guide path that is non-linear and non-circular arc, causing the two-bar linkage to rotate the valve stem. Valve stem angular displacement versus actuator stroke can be altered by modification of the shape of the guide path.

Abstract: A compressor section includes a compressor wheel and a compressor housing that surrounds the compressor wheel. The compressor housing includes a flow passage with an upstream area. The compressor section also includes a cooling pocket that is defined within the compressor housing. The cooling pocket is configured to receive a coolant for cooling the compressor housing. Furthermore, the compressor section includes a thermo-decoupling pocket that is defined within the compressor housing. The thermo-decoupling pocket is disposed between the cooling pocket and the upstream area of the flow passage. The thermo-decoupling pocket is fluidly connected to an exterior area outside the compressor housing.
