Definitions

  • the invention relates to an exhaust gas turbocharger for internal combustion engines with a turbine housing surrounding a turbine impeller, which is provided with an inlet and an outlet for the exhaust gases of the internal combustion engine and arranged on the inlet side essentially concentrically to the turbine impeller and having a radially inner spiral and at least one radially outer spiral. wherein the radially inner and the radially outer spiral form a common partition and the exhaust gas inlet cross section of the turbine housing can be changed by means of a control member.
  • Exhaust gas turbochargers of this type can be adapted to different operating ranges of the internal combustion engine, for example part-load or full-load operation, during operation by means of a change in the exhaust-gas inlet cross-section brought about by the control member and thus by influencing the exhaust-gas speed in the turbine housing.
  • the control member is preferably actuated as a function of the boost pressure or the speed of the internal combustion engine via suitable actuators.
  • the invention has for its object to improve an exhaust gas turbocharger for internal combustion engines of the type mentioned in such a way that effective structuring of the exhaust gas turbocharger to different operating areas of the internal combustion engine is possible with structurally simple means while largely avoiding the loss-intensive partial loading of the turbine impeller during operation.
  • the inner and the outer spiral are in flow connection through opening cross sections provided in the partition, arranged one behind the other in the flow direction of the exhaust gas, and extend essentially over the entire peripheral region of the turbine impeller. Due to the design of the exhaust gas turbocharger according to the invention, it is advantageously possible to apply the entire circumferential area of the turbine wheel evenly regardless of the position of the control member and thus regardless of the operating range of the internal combustion engine, the exhaust gas flowing through the radially outer spiral even with the maximum released exhaust gas cross section is assigned to the entire circumferential area of the turbine wheel, since on the one hand a partial flow flows through the opening cross-sections and acts directly on the turbine wheel and on the other hand the emerging partial flow of the outer spiral also influences the flow of the radially inner spiral in the sense of a change in the inflow angle on the turbine impeller. With structurally simple means and with a minimized control effort over the entire operating range of the internal combustion engine, an adaptation of the exhaust gas turbocharger characteristic to different operating ranges of the internal combustion engine with
  • the opening cross sections are preferably provided in the flow direction of the exhaust gas with the same angular distance from one another in relation to the turbine impeller axis.
  • the partition wall can be designed according to fluidic and advantageous manufacturing aspects.
  • the partition consists of several individual wall segments which are arranged radially offset in the flow direction of the exhaust gas to form the opening cross sections, and preferably the individual wall segments are arranged such that a constant flow cross section is present between two opening cross sections arranged one behind the other .
  • the flow cross section of the radially outer spiral decreases in stages, the respective stage cross sections preferably being adapted to the respective branch flow rates in the sense of a largely constant flow velocity.
  • 1 denotes the turbine impeller and 2 the turbine housing, which is provided with an inlet 3 and an outlet 4, which - Not shown in detail - can be connected to the exhaust pipe of an internal combustion engine.
  • the exhaust gas turbocharger further comprises a compressor 5 arranged coaxially to the turbine impeller 1, which, however, is of no particular importance with regard to the present invention.
  • the turbine housing 2 has a spiral 6, which is located radially on the inside of the turbine impeller 1, and a radially outer spiral. 7, which each connect to the inlet 3.
  • the radially outer spiral 7 is controlled by a control element which is designed as a flap wing 8 in the exemplary embodiment according to FIG. 1 and as a rotary slide valve 15 in the exemplary embodiment according to FIG. 3.
  • the flap wing 8 according to FIG. 1 can be pivoted about a center of gravity axis 10 parallel to the turbine impeller axis 9.
  • the radially inner spiral 6 and the radially outer spiral 7 have a common partition 11, which consists of a plurality of individual wall segments 11a, 11b, 11c, 11d.
  • the individual wall segments 11a to 11d are designed and arranged in the flow direction 12 of the exhaust gas in such a way that the radially inner spiral 6 and the radially outer spiral 7 through opening cross sections 13a, 13b, 13c and 13d, which have the same angular distance from one another in relation to the turbine impeller axis 9, be in flow communication.
  • the flow cross section of the radially outer spiral 7 decreases in the flow direction 12 of the exhaust gas, the flow cross section of the radially outer spiral 7 being constant between each two adjacent opening cross sections.
  • the radially inner spiral 6 and the radially outer spiral 7 extend essentially over the entire circumferential area of the turbine impeller 1, so that uniform application of the entire circumferential area of the turbine impeller 1 is possible in all operating areas of the internal combustion engine.
  • the openings 13a to 13d when the control element 8, 15 is closed, cause only a slight disturbance in the amount of exhaust gas flowing through the radially inner spiral 6, so that the turbine impeller 1 is subjected to a substantially constant inflow angle distributed over the circumference
  • a continuous enlargement of the inlet cross-section 3 and thus a continuous release of the flow cross-section of the radially outer spiral 7 in order to adapt the exhaust gas turbocharger characteristic to higher engine speeds results in a partial exhaust gas flow from the radially outer spiral 7 into the openings 13a to 13d comes radially inner spiral 6, the flow velocity of the exhaust gas in the radially outer spiral 7 remains approximately constant due to the cross-sectional constrictions, so that the flow in the radially inner spiral 6 in the sense of a change in the incident angle of the turbine impeller 1 is influenced, so that the respective partial exhaust gas flow contributes to the uniform application of the turbine impeller 1 over the entire circumferential area in an advantageous manner.
  • FIG. 1 The partial longitudinal section along the section lines 11-11 in Fig. 1 illustrates the exhaust gas turbocharger designed according to the invention, wherein it is also indicated as possible according to the invention that the spirals 6 and 7 through a wall 14 extending in a vertical plane to the turbine impeller axis 9 in two channels can be subdivided, which is particularly important in multi-cylinder reciprocating internal combustion engines with shock charging.
  • the control member for changing the cross section of the inlet 3 is designed as a rotary valve 15.
  • a rotary valve has the advantage that on the one hand the adjusting forces of the control member can be kept low due to the minimized flow resistance and on the other hand influences of the control member on the inlet flow, e.g. B. swirls, etc., are significantly reduced. This can be of advantageous importance in the exhaust gas turbocharger designed according to the invention.
