Recirculation noise obstruction for a turbocharger
11603864 · 2023-03-14 · ·

A compressor housing (12) for a turbocharger includes a recirculation cavity (4) formed in a portion of the compressor housing (12). The recirculation cavity (4) is defined by an inner cavity wall (2) and an outer cavity wall (5). In addition, an inlet groove (1) and an outlet (7) are formed in the recirculation cavity (4) for circulating airflow from the compressor housing (12) through the recirculation cavity (4), and at least one recirculation noise obstruction (6) is fixedly secured within the recirculation cavity (4) to disrupt air flow through the cavity and reduce noise in the compressor housing (12).

Supercharger

A supercharger includes a rotor housing defining a pair of cylindrical chambers. A driving shaft bearing is to support a driving rotor shaft for rotation in the rotor housing. A driven shaft bearing is to support a driven rotor shaft for rotation in the rotor housing. An oil sump housing is to enclose a timing gear end of the rotor housing. A shaft seal is disposed between the rotor housing and each respective rotor shaft. The oil sump housing, the rotor housing and driving and driven shaft seals define a closed container for oil to lubricate the driving shaft bearing, the driven shaft bearing, a driving timing gear and a driven timing gear. The oil pools in the closed container and a top surface of the oil is spaced below the timing gears when the driving rotor shaft is in a vertical orientation.

CONTROL UNIT FOR INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE SYSTEM
20230160352 · 2023-05-25 · ·

A control unit configured to control an electric turbocharger and an EGR valve. While an internal combustion engine is stopped, an oxygen-free period, which is a period during which oxygen surrounding an exhaust gas purifier used for an oxidation reaction runs out, is estimated based on a temperature of the exhaust gas purifier. Before entering the oxygen-free period, the EGR valve is opened and the electric turbocharger is driven. Air surrounding the exhaust gas purifier is replaced with fresh air. After replacement with the fresh air has been completed, the electric turbocharger is stopped.
