Abstract

An arrangement is proposed for an exhaust gas turbo charger with a carrier housing. The exhaust gas turbo charger is attached to a bearing housing with the carrier housing by way of a fastening element such that the fastening element is oriented in a direction perpendicular to a shaft arranged within the bearing housing.

Claims (46)

1. A process of assembling an exhaust gas turbo charger with a carrier housing, the exhaust gas turbo charger including a bearing housing with a shaft adapted to extend through the bearing housing and connect a compressor wheel in a compressor housing and a turbine wheel in a turbine housing, comprising:

placing the bearing housing in the carrier housing, and

attaching the exhaust gas turbo charger to the carrier housing by way of fastening elements, which are oriented in directions perpendicular to an axis of rotation of the shaft such that the turbine housing is located within the carrier housing and the compressor housing is located outside the carrier housing,

wherein the fastening element is in the form of screws, and wherein screw heads of the screws are arranged within a diameter of the bearing housing.

2. A process of assembling an exhaust gas turbo charger with a carrier housing, the exhaust gas turbo charger including a bearing housing with a shaft adapted to connect a compressor wheel and a turbine wheel, comprising:

placing the bearing housing in the carrier housing, and

attaching the exhaust gas turbo charger to the carrier housing by way of a fastening element, which is oriented in a direction perpendicular to an axis of rotation of the shaft,

wherein an ancillary centering device for orientation of the exhaust gas turbo charger on the carrier housing is provided on the bearing housing.

3. The process of assembling an exhaust gas turbo charger with a carrier housing according to claim 2 , wherein the ancillary centering device is in the form of a snap-on contact.

4. The process of assembling an exhaust gas turbo charger with a carrier housing according to claim 3 , wherein, by way of the snap-on contact, lubricant is conducted out of the bearing housing and into the carrier housing.

5. A process of assembling an exhaust gas turbo charger with a carrier housing, the exhaust gas turbo charger including a bearing housing with a shaft adapted to connect a compressor wheel and a turbine wheel, comprising:

placing the bearing housing in the carrier housing, and

attaching the exhaust gas turbo charger to the carrier housing by way of fastening elements, which are oriented in directions perpendicular to an axis of rotation of the shaft,

wherein the fastening elements are in the form of screws,

wherein screw heads of the screws are arranged within a diameter of the bearing housing, and

wherein an ancillary centering device for orientation of the exhaust gas turbo charger on the carrier housing is provided on the bearing housing.

6. The process of assembling an exhaust gas turbo charger with a carrier housing according to claim 5 , wherein the ancillary centering device is in the form of a snap-on contact.

7. The process of assembling an exhaust gas turbo charger with a carrier housing according to claim 6 , wherein, by way of the snap-on contact, lubricant is conducted out of the bearing housing and into the carrier housing.

8. An arrangement for an exhaust gas turbo charger with a carrier housing, the exhaust gas turbo charger comprising:

a compressor wheel,

a turbine wheel,

a bearing housing, and

a shaft adapted to connect the compressor wheel and the turbine wheel,

wherein the bearing housing is mounted in and attached to the carrier housing by way of a fastening element, which is oriented in a direction perpendicular to an axis of rotation of the shaft, and

wherein an ancillary centering device for orientation of the exhaust gas turbo charger on the carrier housing is provided on the bearing housing.

9. The arrangement for an exhaust gas turbo charger with a carrier housing according to claim 8 , wherein the ancillary centering device is in the form of a snap-on contact.

10. The arrangement for an exhaust gas turbo charger with a carrier housing according to claim 9 , wherein, by way of the snap-on contact, lubricant is conducted out of the bearing housing and into the carrier housing.

11. An arrangement for an exhaust gas turbo charger with a carrier housing, the exhaust gas turbo charger comprising:

a compressor wheel,

a turbine wheel,

a bearing housing, and

a shaft adapted to connect the compressor wheel and the turbine wheel,

wherein the bearing housing is mounted in and attached to the carrier housing by way of fastening elements, which are oriented in directions perpendicular to an axis of rotation of the shaft,

wherein the fastening elements are in the form of screws,

wherein screw heads of the screws are arranged within a diameter of the bearing housing, and

wherein an ancillary centering device for orientation of the exhaust gas turbo charger on the carrier housing is provided on the bearing housing.

12. The arrangement for an exhaust gas turbo charger with a carrier housing according to claim 11 , wherein the ancillary centering device is in the form of a snap-on contact.

13. The arrangement for an exhaust gas turbo charger with a carrier housing according to claim 12 , wherein, by way of the snap-on contact, lubricant is conducted out of the bearing housing and into the carrier housing.

14. An arrangement for an exhaust gas turbo charger with a carrier housing, the exhaust gas turbo charger comprising:

a compressor wheel in a compressor housing,

a turbine wheel in a turbine housing,

a bearing housing, and

a shaft adapted to extend through the bearing housing and connect the compressor wheel and the turbine wheel,

wherein the turbine housing is located within the carrier housing and the compressor housing is located outside the carrier housing, and

wherein the bearing housing is mounted in and attached to the carrier housing by way of fastening elements, which are oriented in directions perpendicular to an axis of rotation of the shaft, and

wherein the fastening elements are in the form of screws, and wherein screw heads of the screws are arranged within a diameter of the bearing housing.
