1. An exhaust gas turbocharger for an internal combustion engine, comprising:
- a housing having a housing interior that is at least partially enclosed by the housing;
an impeller with an impeller shaft disposed in the housing interior and rotatably mounted in a bearing block; and
an intermediate element arranged coaxially to the impeller shaft, the intermediate element having a bearing block side axially adjacent to the bearing block, an impeller side axially adjacent to the impeller, and a crucible-shaped wall portion extending axially between the impeller side and the bearing block side,whereinthe housing includes at least one flow channel configured to supply fluid to, or discharge fluid from, the impeller,a radially outer flange at the bearing block side of the intermediate element is axially fixed between an axial stop surface of the housing and an axial stop surface of the bearing block,at least one of the housing and the bearing block axially overlaps the intermediate element flange in a region radially outside the intermediate element flange,the housing and the bearing block have adjacent axially-opposed faces in the region radially outside the intermediate element flange, andat the impeller side of the intermediate element at least a section of the intermediate element forms an impeller-side wall delimiting at least a section of at least one of the at least one flow channels having an outer radius smaller than an inner radius of the axial stop surface of the housing at the bearing block side of the intermediate element.
