Abstract
Abstract Method of increasing supercharge pressure at low full-load speed of an engine and for simultaneously limiting the supercharge pressure to a given value at high full-load speed of the engine, includes passing a flow of exhaust gas through a bladed rotor of an exhaust-gas turbine inwardly from the outside through respective entrances and exits of the rotor blades which, in the region of the entrances thereof, are disposed in a plane wherein the axis of the turbine is also disposed, so that a difference in a respective circumferential component of the velocity of the exhaust-gas flow between the blade entrance and the blade exit, taken with respect to the circumferential component of the exhaust-gas flow velocity at the blade entrance, is at least as great at low speeds of the engine as at higher speeds thereof.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
123 words
Exhaust-gas turbosupercharger for limiting supercharge pressure comprising an exhaust-gas turbine having a bladed rotor, a compressor operatively connected to said bladed rotor, and means for passing a flow of exhaust gas inwardly in substantially radial direction from the outside through respective entrances and exits of the rotor blades, said blades, respectively, being disposed at least partly, in longitudinal planes and, at a region of said exits of said blades, intersecting with a plane radial to said blades at an exit angle of at least 90° as measured on the pressure side of said blades, said blades having an entrance diameter and an exit diameter, and the ratio of the exit diameter to the entrance diameter of said blades is between 0.5 and 0.75.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
123 words
Exhaust-gas turbosupercharger for limiting supercharge pressure comprising an exhaust-gas turbine having a bladed rotor, a compressor operatively connected to said bladed rotor, and means for passing a flow of exhaust gas inwardly in substantially radial direction from the outside through respective entrances and exits of the rotor blades, said blades, respectively, being disposed at least partly, in longitudinal planes and, at a region of said exits of said blades, intersecting with a plane radial to said blades at an exit angle of at least 90° as measured on the pressure side of said blades, said blades having an entrance diameter and an exit diameter, and the ratio of the exit diameter to the entrance diameter of said blades is between 0.5 and 0.75.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
127 words
Exhaust-gas turbosupercharger for limiting supercharge pressure comprising an exhaust-gas turbine having a bladed rotor, a compressor operatively connected to said bladed rotor, and means for passing a flow of exhaust gas inwardly in substantially radial direction from the outside through respective entrances and exits of the rotor blades, said blades, respectively, being disposed at least partly, in longitudinal planes and, at a region of said exits of said blades, intersecting with a plane radial to said blades at an exit angle of at least 90° as measured on the pressure side of said blades, said turbine rotor being a wheel having a rear wall, and said rotor blades having an entrance diameter, said rear wall having a diameter smaller than the entrance diameter of said rotor blades.
