Abstract
Abstract A turbine housing for a centrifugal turbosupercharger comprising a spiral wall defining a gas passage through which exhaust gas from an engine passes and a partition wall dividing said gas passage into two passages wherein the height of the partition wall gradually decreases in the downstream direction. In such a manner that the gap between the outer periphery of a turbine rotor and the tip of the partition wall reaches a maximum at about 225° as measured from an intersection of the inner periphery of the partition wall and a line passing through the center of the turbine rotor and drawn perpendicular to the direction of introduction of exhaust gas.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 2
Claim 1
Independent Claim
150 words
In a turbine housing for a centrifugal turbosupercharger including a spiral wall defining a gas passage through which exhaust gas from an engine passes, an inlet for exhaust gas formed integrally with said spiral wall, an outlet for exhaust gas formed integrally with said spiral wall and a partition wall for dividing said gas passage into two sections, said partition wall being formed integrally with said spiral wall wherein the improvement is characterised in that the height of said partition wall gradually decreases in the downstream direction in such a manner that the gap between the outer periphery of a turbine rotor and the tip of said partition wall reaches a maximum at about 225° as measured from an intersection of the inner periphery of the partition wall and a line passing through the centre of the turbine rotor and drawn perpendicular to the direction of introduction of exhaust gas.
