Abstract

The invention relates to a turbine, in particular of an exhaust-gas turbocharger, comprising a turbine rotor which is supported rotatable in a housing, and to which at least one guide vane apparatus forming a radial inlet channel for a medium driving the turbine rotor is allocated, wherein the guide vane apparatus comprises a guide vane mounting ring with a plurality of guide vanes which radially surround the turbine rotor and which are located within the inlet channel, as well as a guide vane cover ring, and wherein the inlet channel is axially bounded by the guide vane mounting ring and the guide vane cover ring, and the guide vane cover ring abuts with a front side facing away from the inlet channel against a support area of the housing. The invention provides that the housing ( 5 ) comprises in the support area ( 15 ) at least one recess ( 17 ) which is open-edged towards the guide vane cover ring ( 9 ), and through which the medium can flow. Furthermore, the invention relates to an exhaust-gas turbocharger, in particular for a motor vehicle, comprising a compressor and a turbine which are actively connected with each other in a mechanical manner.

Claims (39)

1. A turbine, comprising:

a housing including a support area;

a turbine rotor which is supported rotatably in the housing,

at least one guide vane apparatus included with the turbine rotor, the at least one guide vane apparatus forming a radial inlet channel for a medium driving the turbine rotor,

a guide vane mounting ring included with the at least one guide vane apparatus, the guide vane mounting ring including a plurality of guide vanes which radially surround the turbine rotor and which are located within the inlet channel,

a guide vane cover ring included with the guide vane mounting ring, the guide vane cover ring including a front side, wherein the inlet channel is axially bounded by the guide vane mounting ring and the guide vane cover ring, and the guide vane cover ring abuts with the front side facing away from the inlet channel against the support area of the housing, and

at least one recess included in the support area of the housing, wherein the at least one recess is open-edged towards the guide vane cover ring, and through which the medium flows, wherein the recess is a resonator.

2. The turbine according to claim 1 , wherein the medium flows into the at least one recess upstream of the guide vanes.

3. The turbine according to claim 1 wherein the medium flows into the at least one recess downstream of the guide vanes.

4. The turbine according to claim 1 wherein the support area is substantially annular.

5. The turbine according to claim 1 wherein within the support area, a plurality of recesses are formed distributed equiangular across the support area.

6. The turbine according to claim 1 wherein the recess is an undercut.

7. The turbine according to claim 1 wherein the recess extends concentrically across the entire support area.

8. The turbine according to claim 1 wherein the recess is a temperature equalization channel.

9. The turbine according to claim 1 wherein between the guide vane cover ring and the housing at least one seal is arranged.

10. The turbine according to claim 1 wherein at least one of the guide vane cover ring and the guide vane mounting ring has at least one spacer arranged which axially secures the inlet channel.

11. The turbine according to claim 1 wherein an adjusting ring for adjusting the guide vanes is allocated to the guide vane mounting ring.

12. An exhaust-gas turbocharger, comprising:

a compressor;

a turbine actively connected with the compressor mechanically, the turbine including:

a housing including a support area,

a turbine rotor which is supported rotatably in the housing,

at least one guide vane apparatus included with the turbine rotor, the at least one guide vane apparatus forming a radial inlet channel for a medium driving the turbine rotor,

a guide vane mounting ring included with the at least one guide vane apparatus, the guide vane mounting ring including a plurality of guide vanes which radially surround the turbine rotor and which are located within the inlet channel,

a guide vane cover ring included with the guide vane mounting ring, the guide vane cover ring including a front side, wherein the inlet channel is axially bounded by the guide vane mounting ring and the guide vane cover ring, and the guide vane cover ring abuts with the front side facing away from the inlet channel against the support area of the housing, and

at least one recess included in the support area of the housing, wherein the at least one recess is open-edged towards the guide vane cover ring, and through which the medium flows, wherein the recess is a resonator.

13. The exhaust-gas turbocharger according to claim 12 , wherein the compressor comprises a compressor rotor which is actively connected mechanically with the turbine rotor of the turbine.

14. The exhaust-gas turbocharger according to claim 12 wherein the compressor rotor and the turbine rotor are arranged on an exhaust-gas turbocharger shaft.

15. The turbine according to claim 12 , wherein the medium flows into the at least one recess upstream of the guide vanes.

16. The turbine according to claim 12 , wherein the medium flows into the at least one recess downstream of the guide vanes.

17. The turbine according to claim 2 , wherein the support area is substantially annular.

18. The turbine according to claim 12 , wherein the support area is substantially annular.

19. A turbine, comprising:

a housing including a support area;

a turbine rotor which is supported rotatably in the housing,

at least one guide vane apparatus included with the turbine rotor, the at least one guide vane apparatus forming a radial inlet channel for a medium driving the turbine rotor,

a guide vane mounting ring included with the at least one guide vane apparatus, the guide vane mounting ring including a plurality of guide vanes which radially surround the turbine rotor and which are located within the inlet channel,

a guide vane cover ring included with the guide vane mounting ring, the guide vane cover ring including a front side, wherein the inlet channel is axially bounded by the guide vane mounting ring and the guide vane cover ring, and the guide vane cover ring abuts with the front side facing away from the inlet channel against the support area of the housing, and

at least one recess included in the support area of the housing, wherein the at least one recess is a temperature equalization channel and open-edged towards the guide vane cover ring, and through which the medium flows.
