Abstract

A turbocharger has a turbine for expanding a first medium and a compressor for compressing a second medium utilizing energy extracted in the turbine. The turbine includes a housing with a turbine inflow housing and a turbine rotor. The compressor has a compressor housing and a compressor rotor coupled to the turbine rotor via a shaft. The turbine inflow housing is constructed in a spiral-like, one-piece and double-walled manner such that between an outer wall of the turbine inflow housing and an inner wall of the turbine inflow housing a water duct for conducting cooling water is formed. The inner wall delimiting the water duct on a side of the inner wall facing away from the water duct is directly followed by a guide duct of the first medium to be expanded.

Claims (33)

1. A turbocharger ( 100 ), comprising:

a turbine ( 1 ) for expanding a first medium; and

a compressor ( 50 ) for compressing a second medium utilizing energy extracted in the turbine ( 1 ) during the expansion of the first medium,

wherein:

the turbine ( 1 ) comprises a turbine housing ( 3 ) with a turbine inflow housing ( 4 ) and a turbine rotor ( 6 ),

the compressor ( 50 ) comprises a compressor housing ( 52 ) and a compressor rotor ( 51 ) coupled to the turbine rotor ( 6 ) via a shaft ( 7 ),

the turbine housing ( 3 ) and the compressor housing are each connected to a bearing housing ( 2 ), arranged between the turbine housing and the compressor housing, in which bearing housing ( 2 ) the shaft ( 7 ) is mounted,

the turbine inflow housing ( 4 ) is constructed in a spiral-like, one-piece and double-walled manner, a water duct ( 17 ) for conducting cooling water is formed between an outer wall ( 15 ) of the turbine inflow housing ( 4 ) and an outer wall ( 16 ) of the turbine inflow housing ( 4 ), and the inner wall ( 16 ) of the turbine inflow housing ( 4 ) delimiting the water duct ( 17 ) is directly followed on a side of the inner wall ( 16 ) facing away from the water duct ( 17 ) by a guide duct ( 18 ) of the first medium to be expanded,

the turbocharger ( 100 ) further comprising:

a circumferential wall ( 19 ), extending in the water duct ( 17 ) between the outer wall ( 15 ) and the inner wall ( 16 ) so as to divide the water duct into a first part duct ( 17 a ) and a second part duct ( 17 b ), the circumferential wall ( 19 ) having plural apertures ( 21 ) structured to facilitate a flow of the cooling water between the first and second part ducts ( 17 a , 17 b ).

2. The turbocharger according to claim 1 , wherein the turbine is a radial turbine.

3. A turbocharger ( 100 ), comprising:

a turbine ( 1 ) for expanding a first medium; and

a compressor ( 50 ) for compressing a second medium utilizing energy extracted in the turbine ( 1 ) during the expansion of the first medium,

wherein:

the turbine ( 1 ) comprises a turbine housing ( 3 ) with a turbine inflow housing ( 4 ) and a turbine rotor ( 6 ),

the compressor ( 50 ) comprises a compressor housing ( 52 ) and a compressor rotor ( 51 ) coupled to the turbine rotor ( 6 ) via a shaft ( 7 ),

the turbine housing ( 3 ) and the compressor housing are each connected to a bearing housing ( 2 ), arranged between the turbine housing and the compressor housing, in which bearing housing ( 2 ) the shaft ( 7 ) is mounted,

the turbine inflow housing ( 4 ) is constructed in a spiral-like, one-piece and double-walled manner, a water duct ( 17 ) for conducting cooling water is formed between an outer wall ( 15 ) of the turbine inflow housing ( 4 ) and an outer wall ( 16 ) of the turbine inflow housing ( 4 ), and the inner wall ( 16 ) of the turbine inflow housing ( 4 ) delimiting the water duct ( 17 ) is directly followed on a side of the inner wall ( 16 ) facing away from the water duct ( 17 ) by a guide duct ( 18 ) of the first medium to be expanded, and

within the water duct ( 17 ), in a circumferential direction, a circumferential separating wall ( 19 ), extending between the outer wall ( 15 ) and the inner wall ( 16 ), is arranged, the circumferential separating wall ( 19 ) being interrupted by core hole bores ( 20 ) introduced into the outer wall ( 15 ) and extending in a radial direction.

4. The turbocharger according to claim 3 , wherein the separating wall ( 19 ) subdivides the water duct ( 17 ) into two part ducts ( 17 a , 17 b ), which are coupled to one another via the core hole bores ( 20 ) extending into the separating wall ( 19 ).

5. The turbocharger according to claim 4 , wherein each of the core hole bores ( 20 ) extending in the radial direction extends into the separating wall ( 19 ), so that the separating wall ( 19 ) is interrupted in the region of each of the core hole bores ( 20 ).

6. The turbocharger according to claim 3 , wherein the spiral-like, one-piece and double-walled turbine inflow housing ( 4 ) comprises the separating wall ( 19 ), the outer wall ( 15 ) and the inner wall ( 16 ).

7. A turbocharger ( 100 ), comprising:
