20230184161 · 2023-06-15 ·

A turbocharger actuator arrangement for a turbocharger includes a movable actuator operating lever, a control rod, and a wave spring. More specifically, the control rod is couplable to a setting element of the turbocharger and is connected to the actuator operating lever by means of a bolt such that the control rod is arranged to be rotatable relative to the actuator operating lever. The bolt extends from the actuator operating lever through an opening in an end region of the control rod and through the wave spring. As such, the control rod and the wave spring are arranged between the actuator operating lever and a bolt securing means, which is arranged at an end region of the bolt that is averted from the actuator operating lever.

A valve includes: a housing; a solenoid arranged in the housing; a pin movable by the solenoid; and a pot-shaped piston connected to the pin. The solenoid has a coil body having a central opening, an upper stator arranged in the central opening, and a lower stator configured to receive the coil body. The pin is mounted in first and second bearings arranged in the upper stator and a bushing, respectively. A guide sleeve is arranged at least in the central opening of the coil body, and the upper stator and the bushing are arranged in the guide sleeve.

Fault detection device and fault detection method
09829414 · 2017-11-28 · ·

A fault detection device includes a wastegate valve, a control unit, a working gas amount computation section, and a determination section. The control unit obtains a rotational speed of an engine, a boost pressure, and an intake air temperature. The working gas amount computation section computes a computed value of a mass flow rate of working gas in the engine by using the rotational speed, the boost pressure, and the intake air temperature. The determination section determines that the wastegate valve has a fault when the computed value is not a normal value.

20220364500 · 2022-11-17 ·

Turbo or super charged intake tract diverter valve system, upstream of a throttle valve, includes a closure means (10) for a diversion aperture (4.1) in the intake tract (3) to vent pressurised gases within to a bypass path or atmosphere; the closure means having a transfer aperture (12) facilitating a net three due to a pressure differential on its opposite sides of the closure means (10) so as to close or keep closed the diversion aperture (4.1). When gas pressure on opposite sides of the closure means is equal, and when an upstream side (10.1) of the closure means (10) has a pressure greater than a downstream side (5.1), then it will open the diversion aperture (4.1). An actuation means opens a control aperture (6) to create the necessary pressure differential on the closure means (10) to thereby cause same to open the diversion aperture (4.1).

Turbocharger compressor recirculation system

Recirculation systems for engine intake air are disclosed having a turbocharger compressor with an inlet and an outlet, a recirculation pathway connecting fluid flow from the outlet of the turbocharger compressor to fluid flow into the inlet of the turbocharger compressor, and a recirculation valve assembly controlling fluid flow through the recirculation pathway. The recirculation valve assembly includes an actuator operating a valve coupled to an aspirator assembly that produces vacuum when the fluid flows through the recirculation pathway from the inlet to the outlet and when fluid flows through the recirculation pathway from the outlet to the inlet. Fluid flows through the recirculation pathway from the outlet to the inlet when the turbocharger generates boost. The vacuum generated by the aspirator assembly is in fluid communication with the actuator to move the valve between two or more positions.

Compressor recirculation into annular volume

To solve the problems of compressor wheel blade flow separation causing surge type noises when an exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) duct introduces into the compressor exhaust gases to be returned to the engine, the exhaust gas is fed into an annular volume, defined between inner and outer walls or an annular transition cavity shaped as a radially expanded, axially flattened cylindrical space in the compressor inlet, so that the generally unidirectional radial flow from an EGR duct is re-directed and organized as it is turned from generally radial to generally axial, merging with the general inlet flow and presenting the compressor wheel with airflow of “circumferentially uniform” flow velocity.
