A gas passage that is connected to an exhaust passage and a water passage that is connected to a water jacket are formed in a turbine housing. The water passage and the gas passage are arranged adjacent to each other in an exhaust gas-introducing side joint part of the turbine housing, and a mating face in which the water passage opens and a mating face in which the gas passage opens are formed not to connect smoothly to each other. The turbine housing is attached to the cylinder head with an O-ring that prevents leakage of coolant interposed between the mating face and the cylinder head, and a seal member that prevents leakage of exhaust gas interposed between the mating face and the cylinder head.

A turbocharger includes a turbine housing, a compressor housing, and a bearing housing. Each of the housings includes a passage for cooling inside. The turbocharger further includes a switching valve and a controller that switches a valve position of the switching valve. The switching valve is adapted to switch the circulation state of coolant in each passage such that the coolant is supplied from the passage of the turbine housing to the passage of the bearing housing or such that the coolant is supplied from another passage to the passage of the bearing housing. The controller switches the valve position of the switching valve such that the coolant is supplied from the passage of the turbine housing to the passage of the bearing housing until a predetermined amount of time passes after starting of the engine.

A turbocharger includes a two-stage serial compressor having a first impeller and a second impeller affixed to a shaft and arranged in series for a two-stage compression of air, an exhaust gas-driven turbine having a turbine wheel affixed to the shaft, and an electric motor mounted on the shaft for assisting the turbine in rotatably driving the compressor.

A fluid compressor device includes a housing and a rotating group supported for rotation within the housing about an axis. The device also includes a compressor stage including a compressor wheel of the rotating group that is supported on a shaft of the rotating group. The device also includes an e-machine stage including an e-machine that is operably coupled to the shaft and that is configured to operate as at least one of a motor and a generator. Additionally, the device includes an integrated controller that extends at least partly over the e-machine stage in a circumferential direction about the axis. The integrated controller includes a coolant core that receives a flow of a coolant therethrough for cooling the integrated controller. The coolant core extends over the e-machine stage in a circumferential direction about the axis.

In a two-stage supercharging electric-assist turbocharger, a first compressor wheel, a rotor of an electric motor, a second compressor wheel, and a turbine wheel are coaxially coupled to a same, common shaft member, in that order. A compressor housing is structured to define therein a communicating passage to accommodate the electric motor in the communicating passage. A first water jacket is formed in at least one rib integrally formed with an outer periphery of a motor housing and also serving as a radiating fin, for forced-cooling air flowing through the communicating passage. A second water jacket is formed in a motor housing for forced-cooling a stator of the electric motor. A third water jacket is formed in an intermediate housing constructing a part of the compressor housing for forced-cooling a control unit configured to control the electric motor.

There is provided an engine equipped with a supercharger that suppresses heat deterioration of engine oil. The engine equipped with a supercharger includes a supercharger; an oil supply passage that supplies engine oil to a shaft bearing part of the supercharger; an oil discharge passage that discharges the engine oil from the shaft bearing part of the supercharger; and a water-cooling-type oil cooler. The water-cooling-type oil cooler is provided in the oil discharge passage, and the engine oil discharged from the shaft bearing part of the supercharger is cooled by the engine cooling water that passes the water-cooling-type oil cooler. The engine cooling water is desirably supplied from the cylinder jacket to the water-cooling-type oil cooler.
