The invention relates to a cooling device for an engine provided with a blowby gas recirculation device (50) and a turbocharger (60), the blowby gas recirculation device recirculating a blowby gas to an intake passage upstream of a compressor of the turbocharger. The cooling device comprises a first cooling device (70) for cooling a body (20) of the engine and a second cooling device (80) for cooling an intake air, separately. The second cooling device cools the compressor (61).

Abstract: The object of the invention is to suppress the generation or accumulation of deposits in a compressor of a turbocharger of an engine provided with a blowby gas recirculation device. The invention relates to a cooling device for the turbocharger (60) of the engine (10) provided with the blowby gas recirculation device (50). The cooling device has a cooled air introduction passage (70). The blowby gas recirculation device introduces a blowby gas to an area upstream of the compressor. The cooled air introduction passage introduces a cooled air to a diffuser passage (64) of the compressor. The cooled air introduction passage introduces the cooled air to the diffuser passage in a direction having an acute angle with respect to a flow direction (IA) of the intake air flowing through the diffuser passage.

Abstract: A supercharged internal combustion engine of the present invention is provided with a turbocharger (18) having a compressor (18b) in an air intake passage (24), a communication passage (52) connected between an upstream-side portion of the air intake passage (24) on the upstream side of a compressor impeller (18b3) and an internal space (90) of the internal combustion engine (10), and an oil supply apparatus (96, 98, 100) that supplies oil to an internal passage in the compressor (18) through which intake air flows. When a deposit buildup operation condition under which there is a concern of a buildup of a deposit in the compressor (18) is met, the oil supply apparatus (96, 98, 100) increases the amount of oil supplied to the internal passage compared with the amount of oil supplied when the deposit buildup operation condition is not met.

Abstract: In the arrangement of a high-speed generator having its rotor shaft direct-coupled to the main shaft of a gas turbine engine, the upper space of a oil tank fixed to the generator communicates to a cavity formed between the high-speed generator and the air intake of the gas turbine engine, aside from the normal oil return path; and the cavity is open to the atmosphere through the upper space of the oil tank, thereby eliminating any difference in pressure between the cavity and the inside of the high-speed generator. With elimination of any pressure differences, the development of air flow at a tiny gap between the rotor and the stator of the high-speed generator can be avoided, resulting in successful prevention of oil leakage from the rotor bearing into the tiny gap and no drop in the efficiency of the high-speed generator.
