Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Methods and systems are provided for injecting exhaust gases from an exhaust gas recirculation system proximate to a trailing edge of a compressor wheel of a compressor. In one example, a compressor of a turbocharger may include an exhaust gas recirculation inlet volute within a casting of the compressor. The exhaust gas recirculation inlet volute may include an injection port positioned downstream of the trailing edge of the compressor wheel for injecting exhaust gases into intake air flow.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A compressor of a turbocharger, comprising: a compressor wheel rotatable about a central rotational axis of the compressor; a volute positioned within a casting of the compressor and including a diffuser; and an exhaust gas recirculation inlet volute positioned within a backplate of the compressor, the exhaust gas recirculation inlet volute having an injection port coupled to the diffuser downstream of a trailing edge of the compressor wheel, where…
