  • Publication number: 20210164488
    Abstract: A radial compressor impeller, having a hub-like main body, whose flow-guiding surface has a contour that increases in size in the radial direction from a flow inlet end in the direction of a flow outlet end, moving blades arranged on the hub-like main body, namely first moving blades and second moving blades. The first moving blades are formed longer than the second moving blades. Between each two adjacent first moving blades a second moving blade each is arranged. Third moving blades, which are formed shorter than the second moving blades are arranged between each adjacent first and second moving blade.

  • Patent number: 10954963
    Abstract: A turbocharger, has a turbine for expanding a first medium and a compressor for compressing a second medium. The turbine includes a turbine housing and a turbine rotor. The compressor includes a compressor housing and a compressor rotor coupled to the turbine rotor via a shaft. A bearing housing is arranged between the compressor and turbine housings in which the shaft is mounted. The turbine and bearing housings are connected via a fastening device mounted on a flange of the turbine housing with a first section and a second section that covers a flange of the bearing housing at least in sections. The fastening device is contoured curved on a surface of the second section facing the flange of the bearing housing.

  • Patent number: 10876427
    Abstract: A turbine for a turbocharger, for expanding a medium, with a turbine rotor, having a turbine housing with an insert piece, which runs radially outside of the adjoining blades of the turbine rotor. The insert piece at an upstream end, includes a first flange and a second flange at a downstream end. The insert piece, in a middle section, which extends between the first flange and the second flange, has an approximately constant thickness.

  • Patent number: 10746053
    Abstract: A turbocharger, with a turbine and compressor housing connected to a bearing housing. An inflow housing of the turbine and bearing housing are connected via a fastening device mounted to a flange of the inflow housing with a first section and partially overlaps a flange of the bearing housing with a second section. Between the inflow housing and the bearing housing, flanges of a nozzle ring and of a sealing cover are clamped. Adjoining surfaces contacting one another in a region of a first, second, and/or a third contact clamping region are hardened.
