Turbocharger system having an air-cooled solenoid valve
A turbocharger system is provided. The turbocharger system includes a turbine positioned downstream of a combustion chamber and a turbine bypass conduit in fluidic communication with a turbine inlet and a turbine outlet. The turbocharger system further includes a wastegate positioned in the turbine bypass conduit, a wastegate actuator coupled to the wastegate adjusting a position of the wastegate, and an air-cooled solenoid valve coupled to wastegate actuator adjusting a position of the wastegate actuator, the air-cooled solenoid valve receiving cooling airflow from an intake conduit positioned upstream of a compressor mechanically coupled to the turbine.

Engine with supercharger
A combustion engine for a motorcycle includes a supercharger which pressurizes intake air. The supercharger is driven by power of the combustion engine. A first cushioning body which suppresses rotation fluctuation of power is provided on a power transmission path leading from the combustion engine to the supercharger. The first cushioning body has a damper structure to transmit power from an upstream side to a downstream side thereof through an elastic body.

Compressor and motor vehicle
A compressor for an internal combustion engine is provided. The compressor includes a compressor shaft having compressor blades attached thereto, positioned in an intake air duct, and rotating about an axis during compressor operation and a magnetic bearing positioned upstream of the compressor blades in the intake air duct, including a ring positioned around the compressor shaft, stator electrics arranged in the ring, and at least two magnets arranged on the compressor shaft configured to exert a magnetic force on the stator electrics to form an air gap between the ring and the compressor shaft.

Ported shroud geometry to reduce blade-pass noise
A compressor housing may include a shroud portion which is axially spaced from an inlet portion and configured to at least partially surround the compressor wheel. The compressor housing may be further configured to include a recirculation cavity which is formed between an exterior surface of the shroud portion and an interior surface of the compressor housing. Furthermore, a recirculation slot may define an airflow pathway between the recirculation cavity and the compressor wheel. Additionally, the compressor housing may include an angled shroud support extending radially through the recirculation cavity from the exterior surface of the shroud portion to the interior surface of the compressor housing. The angled shroud support may be spaced an axial distance away from the recirculation slot to reduce turbulence in the airflow as the airflow moves from the recirculation cavity to the compressor wheel.

SPACER AND ELECTRIC SUPERCHARGER
A spacer is disposed between a rotor and a bearing of an electric supercharger to fix the rotor. The spacer has a tapered surface with a diameter decreasing toward the bearing in an outer circumferential surface of the spacer. An area of an end surface of the spacer on a rotor side is larger than an area of an end surface of the spacer on a bearing side. A balance correction part that corrects balance of the spacer is disposed inside a recess formed in the end surface. A region of the end surface located on an outer side of the recess relative to a central axis of the spacer constitutes a surface coming in contact with the rotor.
