  • Patent number: 9689275
    Abstract: A variable geometry turbo system that controls a flow of exhaust gas introduced into a turbine of a turbo charger may include a vane base ring in which the turbine may be positioned at a center thereof, a fixed vane which may be fixed onto a first surface of the vane base ring to guide the exhaust gas introduced into the turbine, a variable vane which may be pivotally positioned on the first surface of the vane base ring and adjacent to the fixed vane so as to vary a flow path of the exhaust gas introduced into the turbine, a vane cover ring fixed to the vane base ring with the fixed vane and the variable vane interposed therebetween, and an actuating module coupled to the variable vane and selectively actuating the variable vane.

  • Patent number: 9464639
    Abstract: A turbocharger having a cooling structure may include a center housing on which a shaft is rotatably fitted, a turbine impeller disposed at one end of the shaft, a compressor impeller disposed at the other end of the shaft, a turbine housing fastened to the center housing and covering the turbine impeller such that an exhaust gas flows into the turbine impeller, a compressor housing fastened to the center housing and covering the compressor impeller such that an intake air flows into the compressor impeller, and a coil type heat exchanger formed in a rotational direction of the shaft and in a space between the center housing and the turbine impeller.

  • Publication number: 20150115189
    Abstract: Disclosed is a waste gate assembly for a turbocharger that is provided at a side of a turbine into which an exhaust gas is introduced, and bypasses some of the exhaust gas introduced into the turbine to an outside. The waste gate assembly may include a boss that has a hole for discharging the exhaust gas and is provided at a waste gate main body, a valve that is provided to spherically come in contact with a valve mounting surface of the boss and selectively opens or closes the hole of the boss, and an actuator that is connected to the valve, and provides a rotational force to the valve.
