Patent number: 11933314Abstract: A compressor wheel for a compressor of a turbocharger has a hub and a multiplicity of blades on the hub. In intermediate spaces of the multiplicity of blades, a channel is in each case formed between a suction side and a pressure side. The channel guides fluid that flows in axially in relation to a rotation axis radially or radially-axially outward. The hub in relation to the rotation axis is contoured such that the hub has a rotationally symmetrical portion and a non-rotationally symmetrical portion. On the non-rotationally symmetrical portion, a transition between the hub and each of the blades is embodied with a radiused connection and facing the suction side has a region of modified thickness. A region formed by control rays is generated in at least one channel between the suction side and the pressure side on the hub. A method produces the compressor wheel.Type: GrantFiled: August 29, 2022Date of Patent: March 19, 2024Assignee: BorgWarner Inc.Inventors: Martin Schön, Markus Eisenbarth, Manfred Krämer
