Patent number: 10634052Abstract: The invention relates to a turbine (20) having an impeller (23) arranged in a housing (26). The turbine (20) has an inflow region (21) and an outflow region (22) and a working medium flows through said turbine during operation. The working medium flows into the inflow region (21), along a front side (23a) formed on the impeller (23) and subsequently out of the outflow region (22). There is a pressure drop at the front side (23a) between the inflow region (21) and the outflow region (22). A pressure distributer (9) is arranged on the rear side (23b) of the impeller (23), opposite the front side (23a). The pressure distributer (9) comprises a slide ring (31), which cooperates with the rear side (23b) of the impeller (23) and thereby forms a vapour-lubricated throttle. A first flow path (51) runs through the throttle, wherein the throttle hydraulically divides the rear side (23b) into a first region (231) and a second region (232).Type: GrantFiled: May 18, 2017Date of Patent: April 28, 2020Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Dietmar Uhlmann, Giuseppe Di Giandomenico, Luiz-Alexandre Colodel
