  • Patent number: 11598372
    Abstract: A bearing assembly for a charging apparatus. The bearing assembly comprises a bearing housing and a shaft. The bearing assembly further comprises a compressor-side bearing bushing and a turbine-side bearing bushing which together support the shaft inside a bearing bore of the bearing housing. The bearing assembly is configured to supply unequal amounts of lubricant to a compressor-side outer lubrication gap of the compressor-side bearing bushing and to a turbine-side outer lubrication gap of the turbine-side bearing bushing. The bearing assembly is further configured to supply unequal amounts of lubricant to a compressor-side inner lubrication gap of the compressor-side bearing bushing and to a turbine-side inner lubrication gap of the turbine-side bearing bushing.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 25, 2021
    Date of Patent: March 7, 2023
    Assignee: BorgWarner Inc.

  • Patent number: 9683485
    Abstract: An exhaust-gas turbocharger (1) having a turbine housing (2), which has a bypass duct (10) with a bypass opening (9); and having a control flap (3), which is mounted pivotably between a closed position and an open position in the turbine housing (2), the control flap (3), when in its closed position, resting on a bearing region (8) of a housing wall (11) which conducts exhaust gas and contains the bypass opening (9), wherein at least one flow imperfection (12A, 12B; 23A, 23B) is arranged in the turbine housing wall (11) in the bearing region (8) of the control flap (3) and/or in the control flap (3).
