An electric supercharging system has an electric supercharger disposed on an intake air passage of an engine and a control unit in which a microcomputer is built. Then, control unit changes an actuation timing of the electric supercharger on the basis of change amounts of a rotational speed and an accelerator opening of the engine. At this time, the control unit changes the actuation timing of the electric supercharger by correcting the actuation timing of the electric supercharger according to the rotational speed of the engine with a coefficient according to the change amount of the accelerator opening.

A radial compressor having a compressor rotor with blades; a compressor housing, a diffuser having guide vanes. The diffuser delimits a flow duct in radial direction. The guide vanes of have a flow inlet edge, a flow outlet edge, and flow-conducting sides. The guide vanes project into the flow duct that is delimited by the diffuser. The guide vanes merge into a support body subject to forming a curvature region that is defined on the flow side. In each position of the curvature region, i.e. in the region of the flow inlet edge, in the region of the flow outlet edge and in regions between the flow inlet edge and the flow outlet edge a curvature radius that is defined on the flow side is formed in each case.

A method of cooling a compressor, providing compressed working fluid, in a natural gas based combustion engine is provided. The method includes diverting at least a portion of natural gas from a fuel tank of the combustion engine. The method further includes routing the portion of natural gas towards the compressor. The method also includes providing one or more nozzles disposed at one or more strategic locations of the compressor. The method further includes injecting the portion of natural gas, via the one or more nozzles, inside the compressor. The method also includes allowing the portion of natural gas to diffuse with the compressed working fluid inside the compressor in an endothermic expansion process, to convectively cool the compressor.

An exhaust gas turbocharger may include a turbine housing and a turbine. The turbine housing may include at least two exhaust gas channels and a partition. A wastegate valve may be arranged such that the at least two exhaust gas channels are connectable to a bypass duct bypassing the turbine. The wastegate valve may include a hollow valve body and a valve seat interacting with the valve body. The wastegate valve may be configured such that at least one of ram supercharging and pulse supercharging is performed. A connecting opening may be arranged between the at least two exhaust-gas channels. The valve body may have a base region configured to facilitate a discharging of an exhaust-gas steam into the bypass duct and/or an overflowing of one exhaust gas channel through the connecting opening into the other exhaust-gas channel.
