Abstract

A casing treatment 4 including a recirculation passage 41 and a mixing piping 6 are provided. The recirculation passage 41 has a first recirculation opening 42 and a second recirculation opening 43 that are in communication with each other, the first recirculation opening 42 being formed inside a compressor housing 11 of an exhaust gas turbocharger and opening to an air passage 15 upstream of a compressor impeller 3 , the second recirculation opening 43 being formed at the outer circumferential section of the compressor impeller 3 . The mixing pipe 6 opens to the recirculation passage 41 and has a return opening 14 for introducing EGR gas and blow-by gas to the recirculation passage 41.

Claims (16)

1. A housing structure for an exhaust gas turbocharger whose compressor impeller is housed in the housing structure, comprising:

a casing treatment including a recirculation passage which is annularly formed around a blade of the compressor impeller, the recirculation passage having a first recirculation opening and a second recirculation opening in communication with each other, the first recirculation opening being formed inside the housing and opening to an air passage upstream of the blade of the compressor impeller, the second recirculation opening being formed in the air passage around the blade of the compressor impeller;

a mixing pipe having a return opening configured to allow at least one of EGR gas and blow-by gas to flow out; and

a chamber provided in communication with the mixing pipe via the return opening and in direct communication with the recirculation passage of the casing treatment via a communication passage so as to be configured to communicate the chamber with the air passage via the recirculation passage, the chamber having a partition wall opposed to the return opening.

2. The housing structure for the exhaust gas turbocharger according to claim 1 ,

wherein the first recirculation opening and the communication passage are arranged along a radial direction of the compressor impeller so as to smoothly introduce the EGR gas or the blow-by gas to the air passage.

3. The housing structure for the exhaust gas turbocharger according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a third recirculation opening provided in communication with the chamber and having an opening part on an upstream side of the first recirculation opening in the air passage, the opening part being disposed approximately parallel to the first recirculation opening and inclining toward a leading edge of the blade of the compressor impeller.

4. The housing structure for the exhaust gas turbocharger according to claim 1 ,

wherein the first recirculation opening is defined by an inner circumferential surface of an upstream side and an inner circumferential surface of a downstream side, and

wherein both of the inner circumferential surface of the upstream side and the inner circumferential surface of the downstream side incline toward a leading edge of the blade of the compressor impeller.

5. A housing structure for the exhaust gas turbocharger whose compressor impeller is housed in the housing structure, comprising:

a casing treatment including a recirculation passage which is annularly formed around a blade of the compressor impeller, the recirculation passage having a first recirculation opening and a second recirculation opening in communication with each other, the first recirculation opening being formed inside the housing and opening to an air passage upstream of the blade of the compressor impeller, the second recirculation opening being formed in the air passage around the blade of the compressor impeller;

a mixing pipe having a return opening configured to allow at least one of EGR gas and blow-by gas to flow out; and

a chamber provided in communication with the mixing pipe via the return opening and with the recirculation passage of the casing treatment via a communication passage and having a partition wall opposed to the return opening,

wherein the first recirculation opening and the communication passage are arranged along a radial direction of the compressor impeller and the first recirculation opening is aligned with the communication passage in the radial direction so as to smoothly introduce the EGR gas or the blow-by gas to the air passage.
