Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2009003144A2] A variable geometry turbocharger is provided. The turbocharger improves efficiency by controlling flow to the rotor (230) via movable vanes (260). The vanes (260) can be rotated using a pin (380, 480) and groove (385, 485) system. The vanes (260) can be multiple structures (710, 730) that are movable with respect to each other to increase the length of each of the vanes (260). The turbocharger also improves efficiency by creating a better seal in the area between the vanes (260) and the adjustment ring (240). The seal can be provided by biasing the adjustment ring (240) towards each of the vanes (260). The seal can be provided by expanding each of the vanes (260). The seal can be provided by having a movable portion (1150) of the adjustment ring (240) that is actuated by a pressure source or the like and axially moves towards the vanes (260). The plurality of vanes (260) can be low solidity vanes.
