  • Patent number: 10954963
    Abstract: A turbocharger, has a turbine for expanding a first medium and a compressor for compressing a second medium. The turbine includes a turbine housing and a turbine rotor. The compressor includes a compressor housing and a compressor rotor coupled to the turbine rotor via a shaft. A bearing housing is arranged between the compressor and turbine housings in which the shaft is mounted. The turbine and bearing housings are connected via a fastening device mounted on a flange of the turbine housing with a first section and a second section that covers a flange of the bearing housing at least in sections. The fastening device is contoured curved on a surface of the second section facing the flange of the bearing housing.

  • Patent number: 10876428
    Abstract: A casing of a turbocharger surrounds a housing to be encased at least in sections, with axial casing segments, which follow the housing to be encased axially outside, and with radial casing segments, which follow the housing to be encased radially outside. In the radial casing segments slot-like material recesses are introduced. Two adjacent slot-like material recesses delimit a strap of a respective radial casing segment. In a region of the respective strap, the radial casing segments are exclusively connected to the housing to be encased. Outside the respective strap, the radial casing segments are exclusively connected to the axial casing segments.

  • Patent number: 10876427
    Abstract: A turbine for a turbocharger, for expanding a medium, with a turbine rotor, having a turbine housing with an insert piece, which runs radially outside of the adjoining blades of the turbine rotor. The insert piece at an upstream end, includes a first flange and a second flange at a downstream end. The insert piece, in a middle section, which extends between the first flange and the second flange, has an approximately constant thickness.

  • Patent number: 10746053
    Abstract: A turbocharger, with a turbine and compressor housing connected to a bearing housing. An inflow housing of the turbine and bearing housing are connected via a fastening device mounted to a flange of the inflow housing with a first section and partially overlaps a flange of the bearing housing with a second section. Between the inflow housing and the bearing housing, flanges of a nozzle ring and of a sealing cover are clamped. Adjoining surfaces contacting one another in a region of a first, second, and/or a third contact clamping region are hardened.

  • Patent number: 10598188
    Abstract: A radial compressor (10), with a compressor rotor having moving blades and with a compressor housing (11) accommodating an insert piece (12) and a diffuser (13), in which the insert piece (12) delimits a flow duct leading to the moving blades of the rotor and the diffuser (13) a flow duct leading away from the moving blades of the rotor at least in sections, and in which the diffuser (13) is designed as bladeless diffuser and as an integral part of the insert piece (12).

  • Publication number: 20190301358
    Abstract: A turbocharger having a turbine, a compressor, and a bearing housing The turbine has a turbine housing, a nozzle ring, and a turbine rotor. The A fastening device a first and second section. The turbine housing and the bearing housing are connected via the fastening device mounted on the flange of the turbine housing by the first section and covers the flange of the bearing housing by the second section. The nozzle ring is installed such that a flange thereof is positioned, relative to a flow channel, on a side of the flow channel opposite the flange of the turbine housing. The structure avoids trenching effects and leakage between the turbine and bearing housing can thus be reduced.

  • Publication number: 20190301366
    Abstract: A turbocharger, having a turbine and a compressor. The turbine has a turbine housing and a turbine rotor. The compressor has a compressor housing and a compressor rotor coupled to the turbine rotor by a shaft. The turbine and compressor housings are connected to a bearing housing in which the shaft is supported. The turbine and bearing housings are a flange of the turbine housing by a first section and covers a flange of the bearing housing by a second section. A flange of a nozzle ring is clamped between respective flanges of the turbine housing and the housing. Between the flange of the turbine housing and the flange of the nozzle ring, an axial sealing region is formed with scaling surfaces that lie against each other and one sealing surfaces has a contour deviating from a flat contour.

  • Publication number: 20190072001
    Abstract: A turbocharger, with a turbine a compressor, and a turbine and a compressor housing connected with a bearing housing. An inflow housing of the turbine housing and the bearing housing are connected via a fastening device such that the fastening device is mounted to a flange of the inflow housing with a first section and a second section overlaps a flange of the bearing housing at least in sections. Between the first section of the fastening device and nuts of the fasteners, resiliently deformable elements are positioned, which provide a preloading force and compensate for preload losses.
