  • Patent number: 11313275
    Abstract: The invention relates to a nozzle ring (10) for a radial turbine. The nozzle ring comprises a rotationally symmetrical, disk-shaped main body (11) with a central opening (12) for the leadthrough of a shaft (20). Furthermore, the nozzle ring comprises guide blades (14) which are arranged in a circumferential direction in a radially outer region of the main body (11) and which are designed to direct exhaust gases onto rotor blades (31) of a turbine wheel (30). The main body (11) of the nozzle ring is designed to, in the installed state, form a heat shield between a bearing space (40) of a bearing housing (41) and a turbine space (50).

  • Patent number: 9938988
    Abstract: An exhaust turbocharger comprises a turbine having a turbine wheel and a compressor having a compressor wheel. The turbine wheel and the compressor wheel are connected by a shaft rotatably mounted in a bearing housing. A means for axially securing the shaft and the turbine wheel connected thereto is provided between the compressor wheel and the turbine wheel. The means limits an axial movement of the shaft and of the turbine wheel connected thereto in the direction of the turbine in the event of the compressor wheel bursting. The means comprises a component which is screwed onto the shaft during mounting and is fixed in the axial direction in the housing.
