  • Patent number: 5528902
    Abstract: A support housing for the fastening of the exhaust gas turbochargers of an internal-combustion engine is provided. The support housing encloses a hollow space which is used for receiving the turbines of the exhaust gas turbochargers while the compressors are situated outside the hollow space. In order to simplify the manufacturing and assembly and to reduce the costs, bearing housings of the exhaust gas turbochargers are integrated in the support housing. The manufacturing and the assembly may also be simplified and rendered less expensive by the fact that the support housing is divided into two symmetrical housing parts along a plane extending through the perpendicular axis in the center of the support housing. In this case, the two housing parts are preferably constructed to be centrically symmetrical with respect to the central perpendicular axis.
