Actuating device for actuating a valve element of an exhaust gas turbocharger
An actuating device for actuating a valve element of an exhaust gas turbocharger includes a pressure chamber which is delimited in part by a first housing element and in part by a diaphragm formed separately from the first housing element. A fluid is introducible into the pressure chamber. The diaphragm is reversibly deformable in order to actuate the valve element and the diaphragm is held on the first housing element by a first cooling ring in which sodium is accommodated.
1. An actuating device ( 10 ) for actuating a valve element of an exhaust gas turbocharger, comprising:
a pressure chamber ( 18 ) which is delimited in part by a first housing element ( 12 ) and in part by a diaphragm ( 14 ) formed separately from the first housing element ( 12 ), wherein compressed air is introducible into the pressure chamber ( 18 ) and wherein the diaphragm ( 14 ) is reversibly deformable in order to actuate the valve element;
wherein the diaphragm ( 14 ) is held on the first housing element ( 12 ) by a first cooling ring ( 32 ), wherein the first cooling ring ( 32 ) has a first receiving space ( 36 ), and wherein the first receiving space ( 36 ) of the first cooling ring ( 32 ) is at least partially filled with sodium; and
a second receiving space ( 22 ) opposite the pressure chamber ( 18 ) and delimited in part by the diaphragm ( 14 ) and in part by a second housing element ( 24 ), wherein a return spring ( 26 ) for resetting the diaphragm ( 14 ) is disposed in the second receiving space ( 22 );
wherein the diaphragm ( 14 ) is held on the second housing element ( 24 ) by a second cooling ring ( 34 ), wherein the second cooling ring ( 34 ) has a third receiving space ( 38 ), and wherein the third receiving space ( 38 ) of the second cooling ring ( 34 ) is at least partially filled with sodium.
2. The actuating device ( 10 ) according to claim 1 , wherein the first cooling ring ( 32 ) and the second cooling ring ( 34 ) are formed separately from each other and are connected to each other.
