Abstract

A turbocharger has a turbine housing, a bearing housing, and a compressor housing. The turbine housing has a coolant inlet, a cooling jacket formed in the interior of the turbine housing, and a coolant outlet. The cooling jacket is divided into two subregions.

Claims (15)

1. An exhaust-gas turbocharger, comprising:

a turbine housing, a bearing housing; and a compressor housing;

said turbine housing having a coolant inlet formed therein, a cooling jacket inside said turbine housing, and a coolant outlet;

said cooling jacket within said turbine housing being divided into two subregions; and

said two subregions being connected to one another by way of tubular connections.

2. The exhaust-gas turbocharger according to claim 1 , which comprises a spiral and a turbine wheel disposed in said turbine housing, and wherein a first of said two subregions of said cooling jacket is provided in a region of said spiral.

3. The exhaust-gas turbocharger according to claim 1 , which comprises a spiral and a turbine wheel disposed in said turbine housing, and wherein a second of said subregions of said cooling jacket is provided in an outflow region of said turbine housing, which outflow region is situated between said turbine wheel and said coolant outlet.

4. The exhaust-gas turbocharger according to claim 1 , which comprises a spiral and a turbine wheel disposed in said turbine housing, and wherein a first of said two subregions of said cooling jacket is provided in a region of said spiral, and a second of said subregions of said cooling jacket is provided in an outflow region of said turbine housing, which outflow region is situated between said turbine wheel and said coolant outlet.

5. The exhaust-gas turbocharger according to claim 1 , wherein said coolant inlet is formed on an underside of said turbine housing.

6. The exhaust-gas turbocharger according to claim 1 , wherein one of said tubular connections runs in a wastegate duct of said exhaust-gas turbocharger.

7. The exhaust-gas turbocharger according to claim 1 , wherein said two subregions are arranged parallel to one another.

8. The exhaust-gas turbocharger according to claim 1 , wherein said two subregions are arranged in series with respect to one another.

9. The exhaust-gas turbocharger according to claim 1 , wherein said coolant outlet is formed on a top side of said turbine housing.

10. The exhaust-gas turbocharger according to claim 9 , wherein said turbine housing has a branch line formed therein configured for branching off coolant supplied to said turbine housing, and wherein a first hose is disposed between said turbine housing and said bearing housing for supplying branched-off coolant to said bearing housing.

11. The exhaust-gas turbocharger according to claim 10 , wherein a second hose extends between said bearing housing and said turbine housing, for conducting coolant back from said bearing housing to said turbine housing.
