  • Patent number: 11428231
    Abstract: An exhaust-gas turbocharger (1) with a bearing housing (2), a shaft (5) mounted in the bearing housing (2), a turbine wheel (6) which is arranged on the shaft (5), a compressor wheel (7) which is arranged on the shaft (5), and a wheel side space (10) between a rear wall (8) of the turbine wheel (6) or compressor wheel (7) and an outer surface (11), which faces toward the rear wall (8) of the bearing housing (2). In the outer surface (11) of the bearing housing (5), there is formed at least one groove (13, 18) for disrupting the flow generated by the rotating rear wall (8).

  • Patent number: 10787927
    Abstract: A turbomachine, with a flow-conducting assembly, which on a first side serves for the flow-conduction of a first medium, which has a first temperature, and which on a second side is coolable with a second medium, which has a second temperature, that is lower than the first temperature, and with an impingement grille including openings which extend spaced from the flow-conducting assembly, wherein via the openings of the impingement grille the second medium is directable onto the second side of the flow-conducting assembly. In the region of at least some of the openings of the impingement grille, flow-conducting elements for the second medium are formed, which emanating from the impingement grille extend in the direction of the second side of the flow-conducting assembly to be cooled.

  • Patent number: 10001137
    Abstract: An exhaust-gas turbocharger (1) with 2-channel turbine inflow, including a housing (2), a shaft (6) mounted in the housing (2), a compressor wheel (8) arranged on the shaft (6) and a turbine wheel (7) arranged on the shaft (6), and a first and a second inflow duct (11, 12) formed in the housing (2). Both inflow ducts (11, 12) open in the direction of the turbine wheel (7). A partition (9) separates the two inflow ducts (11, 12) from one another. At least one water-cooling duct (10) is provided in the interior of the partition (9).
