  • Patent number: 10502121
    Abstract: A pressure wave supercharger for compressing fresh air for an internal combustion engine includes a cold gas housing, a hot gas housing, and a rotor casing inside which a rotatable cell rotor is disposed. The hot gas housing has a high-pressure exhaust gas duct and a low-pressure exhaust gas duct, while the cold gas housing has a fresh air duct and a charge air duct. The high-pressure exhaust gas duct, the low-pressure exhaust gas duct, the fresh air duct and the charge air duct are fluidically connected to the cell rotor. The hot gas housing has a heat exchanger which is designed in such a way that at least a first bearing for a rotor shaft can be cooled.

  • Patent number: 10227913
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method and to a device for adjusting a charging pressure in an internal combustion engine by means of a pressure-wave supercharger, wherein the pressure-wave supercharger has a cell rotor, which passes through at least two compression cycles per revolution, wherein a high-pressure exhaust-gas flow is divided into a first and a second high-pressure exhaust-gas partial flow, wherein a fresh-air flow and the first high-pressure exhaust-gas partial flow are fed to the cell rotor and a first compressed fresh-air flow and a low-pressure exhaust-gas flow are led away from the cell rotor in the first compression cycle, and wherein the fresh-air flow and the second high-pressure exhaust-gas partial flow are fed to the cell rotor and a second compressed fresh-air flow and the low-pressure exhaust-gas flow are led away from the cell rotor in the second compression cycle, wherein the first and the second compressed fresh-air flow are combined into a charge air, and wherein the charge air is fed
