Abstract: An assembly can include a first radial compressor wheel that has a rotational axis and that includes a hub surface; a second radial compressor wheel that comprises a hub surface; and an annular baffle disposed at least in part between the hub surfaces wherein the annular baffle an outer edge and a substantially parabolic portion that extends to a tip portion, where the tip portion includes opposing sides that converge radially inwardly to a blunt end.

Abstract: A turbocharger having a divided turbine housing scroll includes separate first and second exhaust gas conduits for feeding separate streams of exhaust gas to two separate scrolls in the turbine housing. A cross-scroll communication control valve in the turbine housing is operable to selectively allow or prevent two separate streams of exhaust gas in the turbine housing to fluidly communicate with each other. The valve member rotates about a valve axis that is parallel to a flow axis along with the exhaust gas flows in the exhaust gas conduits. The valve member tapers in the flow direction. In a first position, the valve member has walls that close off a cross-communication opening between the two exhaust gas conduits, thereby isolating the conduits from each other. In a second position, a through-passage of the valve member becomes aligned with the cross-communication opening to allow cross-talk between the two conduits.

Abstract: An assembly can include an exhaust gas turbine housing that includes an inner wall and an outer wall that define a first exhaust gas channel and a second exhaust gas channel to a turbine wheel space where the inner wall includes an inner wall end at the turbine wheel space and the outer wall includes an outer wall end at the turbine wheel space; a first adjustable divider vane disposed adjacent to the inner wall end; a second adjustable divider vane disposed adjacent to the outer wall end; and at least one set of adjustable variable geometry nozzle vanes that define nozzle throats that direct flow of exhaust gas from one of the exhaust gas channels to the turbine wheel space.
