Abstract

In a turbine for an exhaust gas turbocharger of an internal combustion engine comprising a turbine housing part, which has at least two spiral channels with respective inlets through which exhaust gas of the internal combustion engine is directed onto a turbine rotor disposed in the turbine housing part, the turbine housing part is disposed in an accommodating chamber, which is formed by a further housing part of the turbine, and from which accommodating chamber exhaust gas of the internal combustion engine can flow through the channel inlets into the spiral channels.

Claims

1. A turbine of an exhaust gas turbocharger (22) of an internal combustion engine (10), comprising at least a first inner housing part (56), which has at least two spiral inlet channels (58) with trumpet-shaped inlet areas (80) which are arranged circumferentially spaced around the first housing part (56), the first housing part (56) with the at least two spiral inlet channels (58) being disposed in a second, outer housing part (72) extending annularly all around the first housing part (56) in spaced relationship therefrom and forming a sealed accommodating chamber (74) in communication with the internal combustion engine to receive and direct an exhaust gas flow of the internal combustion engine (10) through the at least two spiral inlet channels (58) to a turbine wheel (60) disposed within the first housing part (56).

2. The turbine according to claim 1, wherein each of the at least two spiral inlet channels (58) has a nozzle cross-section (AR), via which the turbine wheel (60) of the turbine (54) mounted in the first housing part (56) is impinged by the exhaust gas, wherein the nozzle cross-sections (AR) are arranged along a rotational axis (62) of the turbine (60) and an adjustment device (64) is arranged around the turbine wheel (60) to adjust the respective nozzle cross-section (AR) of each of the at least two spiral inlet channels (58).

3. The turbine according to claim 1, wherein the at least two spiral inlet channels (58) are formed with a wrap-round angle of together at least 350°

.

4. The turbine according to claim 1, wherein each of the at least two spiral inlet channels has a wraparound angle of at least 30°

.

5. The turbine according to claim 1, wherein the first housing part (56) comprising the at least two spiral channels (58) is one of an investment casting and a stamped sheet metal part.

6. The turbine according to claim 1, wherein the second outer housing part (72) defining the accommodating chamber (74) is a cast part.

7. The turbine according to claim 1, wherein the first housing part (56) is molded into the second outer housing part (72).

8. The turbine according to claim 1, wherein a tangential inflow channel (76) to the second outer housing part (72) has a flow cross-section which is tapered according to a direction of the exhaust gas flow.

9. The turbine according to claim 1, wherein the second outer housing part (72) defining the accommodating chamber (74) has a circular cross-section and the tangential inflow channel extends tangentially with respect to the circular second housing part (72).
