Publication number: 20230193812Abstract: A radial turbine for a charging device with a turbine casing, a turbine wheel, a VTG guide grid, and a plurality of spacing elements. The spacing elements are arranged on the vane bearing ring and define an axial distance of the vane bearing ring from the turbine casing or from a counter-element arranged in the turbine casing. At least one spacing element is arranged adjacent to a guide vane and is configured such that a minimum distance between the at least one spacing element and the associated adjacent guide vane is achieved in a specific operating position of the guide vane in which the minimum distance is formed by a difference between an axial distance and an inflow distance.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 24, 2022Publication date: June 22, 2023Inventors: Nico Kanoffsky, Thomas Ramb

Patent number: 11428114Abstract: A lever for a VTG guide vane arrangement of a radial turbine with a main body with a fork-shaped coupling section with two limbs. A wear-resistant contact block is arranged on an inner side of at least one of the limbs. The wear-resistant contact block is designed for operative engagement with an adjusting ring of the VTG guide van arrangement, giving rise to the effect of increased wear resistance at least in the region of the engagement with the VTG guide vane arrangement. Furthermore, a VTG guide vane arrangement having such a lever, a radial turbine having such a VTG guide vane arrangement, and a supercharging device having such a radial turbine.Type: GrantFiled: December 6, 2021Date of Patent: August 30, 2022Assignee: BorgWarner Inc.Inventors: Nico Kanoffsky, Thomas Ramb
