Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A turbocharger is disclosed for use with an engine system. The turbocharger may have a housing at least partially defining a compressor shroud and a turbine shroud. The turbine shroud may form a first volute and a second volute, each having an inlet configured to receive exhaust from an exhaust manifold of the engine in a tangential direction, and an axial channel disposed downstream of the inlet. The turbocharger may also have a turbine wheel disposed within the turbine shroud and configured to receive exhaust from the axial channels of the first and second volutes, a compressor wheel disposed within the compressor shroud, and a shaft connecting the turbine wheel to the compressor wheel. The turbocharger may further have a nozzle ring in fluid communication with the axial channels of the first and second volutes at a location upstream of the turbine wheel.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A turbocharger for an engine, comprising: a housing at least partially defining a compressor shroud and a turbine shroud, the turbine shroud forming a first volute and a second volute each having: a volute inlet configured to receive exhaust from an exhaust manifold of the engine in a tangential direction; and an axial channel disposed downstream of the volute inlet; the first volute having an inner annular wall and an annular tongue disposed coaxially…
