  • Patent number: 10760437
    Abstract: A turbocharger includes a turbine housing that defines a flow passage for a fluid. The turbine housing includes a turbine shroud member. The turbocharger also includes a turbine wheel supported for rotation within the turbine housing relative to the turbine shroud member. The turbine wheel is configured to rotate as the fluid flows through the flow passage. Moreover, the turbocharger includes a port extending through the turbine shroud member. The port is configured to receive a portion of the fluid flowing through the flow passage.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10443387
    Abstract: A turbine wheel for a turbocharger is provided. The turbine wheel includes a plurality of blades and a mid-plane is defined between a pressure side and a suction side of adjacent blades. Each of the blades has a leading edge, and is coupled to the wheel hub along a respective blade hub camber line. The wall has a first radii at the leading edge that extends for a first circumferential distance adjacent to the suction side. The first circumferential distance is at least 12% of a circumferential distance that extends between adjacent blades. The wheel hub includes a plurality of scallops defined through the wall. Each of the scallops is asymmetrical about the mid-plane. For each of the scallops, the wall has a second minimum radii defined offset from the mid-plane toward the suction side and a third minimum radii defined offset from the mid-plane toward the pressure side.
