Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A turbocharger including a turbine wheel having a hub-to-tip ratio of no more than 60% and blades with a high turning angle and a curved leading edge, a turbine housing forming an inwardly spiraling primary-scroll passageway that significantly converges to produce highly accelerated airflow into the turbine at high circumferential angles, and a two-sided parallel compressor. The compressor and turbine each produce substantially no axial force, allowing the use of minimal axial thrust bearings.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A turbocharger configured to receive an exhaust gas stream from an engine configured to operate over a range of standard operating conditions, and to compress input air into a pressurized air stream, comprising: a turbocharger housing including a turbine housing; and a rotor configured to rotate within the turbocharger housing along an axis of rotation, the rotor including an axial turbine wheel, a compressor wheel, and a shaft extending along the axis of…
