Patent number: 11401951Abstract: A compressor for a charging device, and a charging device having a corresponding compressor. The compressor comprises a compressor housing having a compressor inlet and a compressor outlet, and a compressor wheel and an adjustment mechanism. The compressor wheel is arranged in the compressor housing and can be rotated along a compressor axis. The adjustment mechanism is arranged in front of the compressor wheel axially in the current direction and can be adjusted between a first position and a second position in order to change an inlet cross-section of the compressor inlet. As a result of the adjustability of the adjustment mechanism, the inlet cross-section can be changed between a maximum inlet cross-section and a reduced inlet cross-section. Here, the adjustment mechanism forms the reduced inlet cross-section in such a way that the reduced inlet cross-section is arranged eccentrically in relation to the compressor axis.Type: GrantFiled: January 22, 2021Date of Patent: August 2, 2022Assignee: BorgWarner Inc.Inventors: Sascha Karstadt, Jason Walkingshaw, Ahmet Coksen

Patent number: 10890084Abstract: An exhaust gas guide section for an exhaust gas turbocharger, with a first spiral channel (4) and a second spiral channel (5) for the inflow of a turbine wheel which is rotatably accommodated in the through-flow exhaust gas guide section, wherein a through-flow opening (10) is provided between the first spiral channel (4) and the second spiral channel (5), which is formed for inducing an overflow of exhaust gas from the first spiral channel (4) into the second spiral channel (5) and vice versa, and wherein the through-flow opening (10) comprises a movable valve (9?) for opening or closing of the through-flow opening (10). According to the invention, the valve (9?) is configured to degressively open a first flow cross section (11) of the through-flow opening (10).Type: GrantFiled: December 6, 2016Date of Patent: January 12, 2021Assignee: IHI Charging Systems International GmbHInventors: Jason Walkingshaw, Tobias Scheuermann, Georgios Iosifidis, Manfred Guthörle

Publication number: 20200309141Abstract: An adjustment mechanism variably adjusts the cross-section of a compressor inlet. The adjustment mechanism comprises a plurality of rotatable orifice elements and a transmission ring. Each orifice element has a plate body, a coupling element and a bearing pin. The transmission ring is mechanically coupled to the orifice elements via the coupling elements. One of the orifice elements is configured as a drive orifice element. The bearing pin of the drive orifice element is configured as an elongated bearing pin. The elongated bearing pin is configured longer than the bearing pins of the other orifice elements. Furthermore, the elongated bearing pin is adapted to be coupled to an actuation system such that when the drive orifice element is moved by the actuation system, movement is transmitted from the drive orifice element via the transmission ring to the other orifice elements.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 10, 2020Publication date: October 1, 2020Inventors: Aleksandar Vuletic, Jason Walkingshaw, Sascha Karstadt, Oliver Weber, Alexander Sperle

Patent number: 10662868Abstract: The invention relates to a regulating device for a turbocharger. The regulating device (8) is received in a turbocharger (2) exhaust gas conducting section (1) through which exhaust gas can flow, and a fluid flow to a turbine wheel which is rotatably received in the exhaust gas conducting section (1) can be conditioned using the regulating device (8). A flow channel (10; 31) which is formed in the exhaust gas conducting section (1) is to be opened and closed using a cover element (9) of the regulating device (8), and the cover element (9) is arranged on a regulating device (8) pivot arm (38) which can be pivoted about a rotational axis (34). According to the invention, the cover element (9) is designed to open and close a flow channel designed as a bypass channel (31) for bypassing the turbine wheel and/or for opening and closing a flow channel, which is designed as a through-flow opening (10), between a first spiral channel (4) and a second spiral channel (5) of the exhaust gas conducting section (1).Type: GrantFiled: February 9, 2017Date of Patent: May 26, 2020Assignee: IHI Charging Systems International GmbHInventors: Hermann Burmester, Klaus Sperling, Manfred Guthörle, Rohit Pawar, Jason Walkingshaw, Daniel Senz
