  • Manifold, a turbomachine including such a manifold, a turbocharger including such a turbomachine, and an internal combustion engine including such a manifold
    Patent number: 12467400
    Abstract: A manifold for deflecting the flow of a medium flowing through the manifold from an inlet side of the manifold to an outlet side of the manifold includes: the inlet side; and a wall at least partially defining and thereby restricting a flow volume of the manifold, the wall including an inside wall section that is curved and an outside wall section that is curved, the inside wall section including a first radius of curvature, the outside wall section including a second radius of curvature that is larger than the first radius of curvature, the inside wall section including a formed-in section which is formed into the flow volume and which is drawn in a direction of flow of the medium and thus towards the outlet side.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 21, 2024
    Date of Patent: November 11, 2025
    Assignee: Rolls-Royce Solutions GmbH

  • Manifold, a turbomachine including such a manifold, a turbocharger including such a turbomachine, and an internal combustion engine including such a manifold
    Patent number: 12416256
    Abstract: A manifold for deflecting a flow of a medium flowing through the manifold from an inlet side of the manifold to an outlet side of the manifold includes: the inlet side; a wall at least partially defining and thereby restricting a flow volume of the manifold; and a diffuser section arranged centrally in the flow volume on the inlet side, the diffuser being a single component with the wall.
