A recirculation system for a power system is disclosed. The recirculation system may determine, according to a sequence for individually activating a plurality of turbochargers of an engine, that a designated turbocharger of the plurality of turbochargers is to be activated. The recirculation system may cause a recirculation valve of a recirculation line to open to increase an airflow between an intake manifold and a compressor of the designated turbocharger.

Disclosed is a turbocharger for an internal combustion engine comprising a turbine having a turbine housing and a diffusor. The turbine housing comprises an exhaust gas outlet volume, and the diffusor is arranged in this volume. A housing orifice and a diffusor orifice are arranged through each of the turbine housing and diffusor respectively and are mutually aligned to provide an opening into the exhaust gas outlet volume. The turbocharger further comprises a bushing arranged within the housing orifice and extending towards the diffusor orifice and ending at a first end in association with the diffusor orifice. The first end of bushing has an internal diameter that is greater than or equal to a diameter of the diffusor orifice.

A turbine housing has a scroll passage. The scroll passage includes: an outer peripheral surface extending along an axial direction of the turbine housing; an inner peripheral surface disposed inward of the outer peripheral surface in a radial direction of the turbine housing; a one-side surface, which is a side surface on one side in the axial direction of the turbine housing, extending along the radial direction of the turbine housing; an other-side surface, which is a side surface on another side in the axial direction of the turbine housing, disposed closer to an outlet of the turbine housing than the one-side surface and extending along the radial direction of the turbine housing; a one-side outer peripheral R portion connecting an outer peripheral end of the one-side surface and a one-side end of the outer peripheral surface; an other-side outer peripheral R portion connecting an outer peripheral end of the other-side surface and an other-side end of the outer peripheral surface; and an other-side inner peripheral R portion connecting an inner peripheral end of the other-side surface and an other-side end of the inner peripheral surface. In a cross-sectional view of the scroll passage, when a ratio of a width dimension of the scroll passage along the axial direction to an R dimension of each of the one-side outer peripheral R portion, the other-side outer peripheral R portion, and the other-side inner peripheral R portion is defined as a one-side outer peripheral R ratio, an other-side outer peripheral R ratio, and an other-side inner peripheral R ratio, respectively, the scroll passage has an R ratio increasing region where at least one of the one-side outer peripheral R ratio, the other-side outer peripheral R ratio, and the other-side inner peripheral R ratio increases from upstream to downstream in the scroll passage.

An improved turbocharged internal combustion engine, having an air intake system that avoids compressor surge. A positive displacement blower is installed on the air intake line between the compressor and the engine cylinders. The blower has variable speed control so that its speed may be modulated. A controller controls the speed of the blower, such that the average pressure ratio across the blower is 1.0 across each engine cycle.

On an inner circumferential surface (25a) of a housing (25) opposed to an outer circumferential surface (37a, 37b) of an outer ring, toward a front side in a rotation direction (B) of a rotation shaft (21), a first groove (41H, 41I) is formed as a groove portion for guiding an oil (39) in a direction toward a first oil supply hole (41D, 41E).

The invention relates to an intake device for a compressor. The intake device comprises a support structure having a plurality of struts which are arranged in the circumferential direction about an axis of the support structure and extend in the radial direction. Furthermore, the intake device comprises a plurality of first sound-damping elements which are arranged in the radial continuation of the plurality of struts. In addition, the intake device comprises a plurality of second sound-damping elements, each of which is arranged between adjacent first sound-damping elements. The invention furthermore relates to an exhaust-gas turbocharger having the intake device according to the invention, and an internal combustion engine having an exhaust-gas turbocharger of this kind.
