Abstract

A turbine housing of an exhaust gas turbocharger, includes an outer housing in which an inner housing with a tubular nozzle and an outlet duct for connection to an exhaust gas system is arranged. The outlet duct is coupled with the tubular nozzle for movement relative to the nozzle via a seal ring. The seal ring is inwardly everted and pushed onto the nozzle and embraced by an inner-housing support ring, so that a fluid tight fit on the inner housing nozzle is ensured. The seal ring is further pushed onto the outlet duct and there also coupled onto the outlet duct with an outlet duct support ring in a fluid tight manner so that an especially durable connection is created. Both support rings are additionally coupled in a materially bonded manner with the seal ring and the outlet duct nozzle or with the inner housing.

Claims (15)

1. A turbine housing of an exhaust gas turbocharger, comprising:

an outer housing;

an inner housing arranged in the outer housing and including a tubular nozzle and an outlet duct for connection to an exhaust gas system;

a seal ring pushed onto the nozzle in an inwardly everted manner, said seal ring coupling the outlet duct to the tubular nozzle for movement of the outlet duct relative to the tubular nozzle; and

an inner-housing support ring which embraces the seal ring at a site of coupling of the outlet duct to the tubular nozzle, wherein the inner-housing support ring and/or outlet duct support ring are widened in the direction of the inner housing.

2. The turbine housing of claim 1 , wherein the inner-housing support ring, the seal ring and the nozzle are coupled to one another in a materially bonded manner.

3. The turbine housing of claim 1 , further comprising an outlet duct support ring, wherein the seal ring is pushed onto the outlet duct at a site of coupling of the seal ring with the outlet duct, and wherein the outlet duct support ring embraces the seal ring.

4. The turbine housing of claim 3 , wherein the outlet duct support ring, the outlet duct and the seal ring are materially bonded together.

5. The turbine housing of claim 3 , wherein an interference fit is formed at the site of coupling of the seal ring with the outlet duct and/or the nozzle.

6. The turbine housing of claim 1 , wherein an interference fit is formed in the sites of coupling of the seal ring with the inner-housing support ring and/or the outlet duct support ring.

7. The turbine housing of claim 1 , wherein the inner housing is supported for radial and axial movement relative to the outlet duct with regard to a turbine-wheel rotation axis.

8. The turbine housing claim 1 , wherein the seal ring has a wall thickness (W) of less than 0.3 mm.

9. The turbine housing claim 1 , wherein the seal ring has a wall thickness of less than 0.2 mm.

10. The turbine housing of claim 1 , wherein the seal ring is made of a nickel based alloy.

11. The turbine housing of claim 1 , wherein the seal ring is configured double walled.
