Abstract

A bearing section for an exhaust turbocharger comprises a receiving opening for receiving a shaft of a rotor assembly of the exhaust turbocharger. The bearing section is designed for positioning bearing elements for supporting the shaft. A lubricant circuit is designed for supplying lubricant to the bearing elements. Lubricant channels are formed in the bearing section. In order to reduce a component temperature of the bearing section, a cooling jacket is provided, through which coolant can flow. The cooling jacket comprises a coolant channel, an inlet channel and an outlet channel. The inlet channel issues at a first opening point into the coolant channel and the outlet channel is connected at a second opening point to the coolant channel in such a way that a flow can pass therethrough. A rib is provided in the coolant channel.

Claims (24)

1. A bearing section for an exhaust turbocharger, comprising a receiving opening ( 4 ) for receiving a shaft of a rotor assembly of the exhaust turbocharger ( 2 ),

wherein the bearing section ( 1 ) is configured for positioning bearing elements for supporting the shaft,

wherein a lubricant circuit is configured for supplying lubricant to the bearing elements,

wherein lubricant channels are formed in the bearing section ( 1 ),

wherein, in order to reduce a component temperature of the bearing section ( 1 ), a cooling jacket ( 9 ) is provided, through which a coolant can flow,

wherein the cooling jacket ( 9 ) formed in the bearing section ( 1 ) comprises

a circular coolant channel ( 10 ) formed in the bearing section ( 1 ),

an inlet channel ( 11 ) for the coolant; which is connected in the bearing section ( 1 ) to the cooling jacket ( 9 ), and

an outlet channel ( 12 ) for the coolant which is connected in the bearing section ( 1 ) to the cooling jacket ( 9 ),

wherein the inlet channel ( 11 ) is connected to the coolant channel ( 10 ) at a first opening point ( 17 ), which is formed in the bearing section ( 1 ), and

wherein the outlet channel ( 12 ) is connected to the coolant channel ( 10 ) at a second opening point ( 18 ), which is formed in the bearing section ( 1 ), and

wherein a first rib ( 15 ) is provided in the coolant channel ( 10 ) opposite the first opening point ( 17 ) to divide the coolant entering through the inlet channel ( 11 ) into a first part flowing through a first side of the coolant channel and a second part flowing through a second side of the circular coolant channel, and

wherein a second rib ( 16 ) is arranged opposite the second opening point ( 17 ) at which the first part of the coolant and the second part of the coolant are combined to exit the coolant channel ( 10 ) through the outlet channel ( 12 ).

2. The bearing section as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the rib ( 15 ; 16 ) has a curved rib surface ( 19 ).

3. The bearing section as claimed in claim 1 ,

wherein the rib ( 15 ; 16 ) has a trapezoidal cross-section.

4. The bearing section as claimed in claim 1 ,

wherein the rib ( 15 ; 16 ) has a rib wall ( 20 ), and

wherein a transition ( 24 ) is formed between the rib wall ( 20 ) and a coolant channel bottom ( 21 ), said transition being curved.

5. The bearing section as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the opening point ( 17 ; 18 ) has a curved circumferential edge ( 23 ).

6. The bearing section as claimed in claim 1 ,

wherein the cooling jacket ( 9 ) is produced with the aid of a dead mold.

7. An Exhaust turbocharger comprising a bearing section for receiving a rotor assembly of the exhaust turbocharger,

wherein the bearing section is configured as claimed in claim 1 .
