  • the sensing means 18 may be any well-known means to sense changes in the value of any one of a plurality of desired operating parameters.
  • the sensing means may sense an absolute value or it may sense the difference or change in the parameters from a predetermined value or level.
  • the Sensing means 13 provides a signal to the control means 19 and the control means 19 in response to this signal moves members 20 in the direction and through the distance denoted by the signal.
  • the movable members 20 operate to rotate the vane means 16 about its pivot point 17 through the lever arm 21.
  • a supply of pressurized air or gas is connected to the inlet 11.
  • the air or gas is passed from the inlet through the housing to the blades of the wheel 15 and thus to the outlet of the turbomachine.
  • the speed of rotation of the shaft of the wheel 15 is determined by the energy applied to the wheel and the load being driven by the shaft.
  • the scroll of the turbine of this invention when utilized as a turbo-supercharger must necessarily 'be defined so that the inner surface of the volute 14 plus the vane mechanism 16 delivers to the wheel 15 the desired gas weight flow and head characteristics.
  • the control system of this invention operates to provide controlled variable air flow to an engine Within the operating confines of the turbo-supercharger.
  • the particular turbo-supercharger will normally be designed to operate between predetermined operating limits using, for example, the corrected weight flow of gas or air versus the ratio of the inlet pressure to the outlet pressure as characteristics.
  • the control system of this invention makes it possible to vary the corrected weight flow of air so as to provide eflicient operation of the turbine with a variety of variable parameters.
  • the turbine inlet and/or compressor outlet pressures may be maintained relatively constant with a plurality of variations in total fluid flow to the turbine without throttling the turbine. By sensing different parameters and for different uses of this invention the total fluid flow may be maintained constant with a plurality of variations in turbine inlet and/ or compressor outlet pressures.
  • the movable pivot 17 can be located at any point on the vane 16 so that movement about that point simultaneously reduces or increases both areas A and B or so that movement either reduces or increases A and B individually.
  • the vane means 16 is inserted into the turbomachine in proximity to the entrance portion 12.
  • the vane means 16 is supported by a support means 26 which is also a cover means.
  • the vane means must be designed to move within the housing scroll so as to control the fluid flow as the vane interacts with the shape of the volute.
  • the vane mechanism 16 co-acts with the volute 14 to assure that the individual fluid flow through the areas A and B are recombined with a minimum of turbulence.
  • the fluid is accelerated by passing through the control areas A and B.
  • the volute may normally be designed to maintain the angular momentum of the fluid by increasing the angular velocity of the flow stream as it moves toward the center of the wheel.
  • FIG. 2 is a sectional view showing the position of the vane 16 within the housing 10.
  • the control pivot point 17 and the lever arm 21 are actuated as shown in FIG. 1 so that the vane 16 is rotated in an are about the pivot point 17.
  • FIG. 3 is a variation of the embodiment shown in FIG. 1 in which a waste gate or fluid escape area 31 is provided in the housing 10.
  • the fluid escape area or waste gate as it is often referred to, is located in the housing lltl so that as the vane 16 is rotated a predetermined amount about the pivot point 17, the waste gate 311 is gradually opened.
  • the fluid can be bled ofl; into the downstream discharge of the turbine.
  • FIG. 4 is a sectional view through plane 4-4 of FIG. 3 and illustrates further the waste gate 31.
  • the movement of the vane 16 in a vertical direction in FIG. 4 is accomplished by rotating the vane 16 about the center of rotation or pivot point 17.
  • the vertical movement will smoothly and gradually open the waste gate 311 as the point of maximum control of the turbomachine is achieved through the action of the vane 16 co-acting with the housing It).
