Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

In a turbine for an exhaust gas turbocharger of an internal combustion engine having a housing part with accommodation space including a turbine wheel and at least one spiral channel via which exhaust gas of the internal combustion engine may flow. The spiral channel has an outlet cross-section via which the turbine wheel accommodated in the accommodation space may be acted on by the exhaust gas, and has at least one blocking member, which is connected to an adjusting part so as to be movable hereby in the peripheral direction of the accommodation space for adjusting the outlet cross-section (A R , A Rλ , A R,RGR ). A bypass duct is provided, via which exhaust gas can bypass the turbine wheel and whose flow cross-section is also adjustable by the blocking member moved the adjusting part.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A turbine ( 54 ) for an exhaust gas turbocharger ( 22 ) of an internal combustion engine ( 10 ), comprising: a housing part ( 104 ) having an accommodation space ( 114 ) including a turbine wheel ( 116 ) and at least one spiral channel ( 94 , 96 ) for conducting exhaust gas of the internal combustion engine ( 10 ) to the turbine wheel ( 116 ), the at least one spiral channel ( 94 , 96 ) having an outlet cross section (A R , A R,λ A R,RGR ) for admitting exhaust gas to the turbine wheel ( 116 ) which is accommodated in the accommodation space ( 114 ) and acted on by the exhaust gas supplied via the spiral channel ( 94 , 96 ), and an adjusting ring ( 120 ) rotatably supported and accommodated in the housing part ( 104 ) with at least one blocking member ( 122 , 124 ) connected to the adjusting ring ( 120 ) for movement therewith in a peripheral direction ( 108 ) of the accommodation space ( 114 ) for adjusting the outlet cross section (A R , A R,λ A R,RGR ) of the at least one spiral channel ( 94 , 96 ) and at least one bypass channel ( 128 ) extending from the at least one spiral channel through a radial opening ( 148 ) in the adjusting ring ( 120 ) to a turbine outlet area ( 143 ) for permitting exhaust gas to bypass the turbine wheel ( 116 ), the bypass channel ( 128 ) having a flow cross section (Au) which is also adjustable by rotation of the adjusting ring ( 120 ) for controlling the exhaust gas flow bypassing the turbine wheel accommodation space ( 114 ). 2. The turbine ( 54 ) according to claim 1 , wherein the bypass channel ( 128 ) has at least one flow passage ( 146 ) with a flow cross-section which is adjustable by movement of the adjusting ring ( 120 ) into an overlapping position with the by-pass channel ( 128 ). 3. The turbine ( 54 ) according to claim 1 , wherein the bypass channel ( 128 ) is in fluid communication with at least one of the spiral channel ( 94 , 96 ) and a further spiral channel ( 102 ) via which exhaust gas is supplied to the at least one spiral channel ( 94 , 96 ), and the bypass duct opens into a turbine outlet area ( 143 ) of the housing pert ( 104 ) downstream from the turbine wheel ( 116 ). 4. The turbine ( 54 ) according to claim 1 , wherein the adjusting ring ( 120 ) is movable so as to move the blocking member ( 122 , 124 ) in the peripheral direction ( 108 ) of the accommodation space ( 114 ). 5. The turbine ( 54 ) according to claim 1 , wherein at least one sealing element ( 147 ) is disposed between the adjusting ring ( 120 ) and at least one of an outer housing part ( 104 ) end an inner housing part ( 151 ) of the turbine ( 54 ). 6. The turbine ( 54 ) according to claim 5 , wherein the bypass duct ( 128 ) is integrated at least partly into the outer and inner housing parts ( 104 , 151 ) of the turbine ( 54 ).
