  • TURBOCHARGER COMPRISING AN ACTUATOR FOR OPENING AND CLOSING A WASTEGATE DUCT
    Publication number: 20110000209
    Abstract: A turbocharger has a wastegate duct that can be opened and closed by way of an actuator. The actuator encompasses a closing element that can be pivoted into the wastegate duct to close the same. This allows the required closing force, and hence also the size of the required actuator, to be reduced.
