Abstract

A turbocharger for or in a motor vehicle has a rotor with an intermediate blade disposed between two primary blades. The intermediate blade, at least in some regions, has an angular progression that differs from the primary blades.

Claims (6)

1. A turbocharger for or in a motor vehicle, the turbocharger comprising:

a rotor with a plurality of primary blades, wherein in each case an intermediate blade is disposed between two consecutive ones of said primary blades;

said intermediate blade, at least in some regions thereof, having an angular progression different from an angular progression of said primary blades, with the angular progression of said intermediate blade being embodied such that a cross-section of a flow channel on a rear of said intermediate blade is substantially identical with a cross-section of a flow channel on a front of said intermediate blade;

wherein said two consecutive ones of said primary blades include a lagging primary blade and a leading primary blade, and said lagging primary blade has a curvature that is greater than a curvature of said intermediate blade disposed between said lagging primary blade and said leading primary blade;

wherein at a given distance from a rotary axis, a length of a circular arc section from said intermediate blade to said lagging primary blade is less than a length of a circular arc section to said leading primary blade; and

wherein, at an end of said intermediate blade on a side of the rotary axis, the lengths of the circular arc sections from the front and the rear of the intermediate blade to said lagging primary blade and to said leading primary blade are substantially identical.
