Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to a compressor and a turbocharger that performs supercharging
by using exhaust gas discharged from an exhaust gas turbine.
Background Art
[0002] A turbocharger has a structure in which a turbine and a compressor are integrally
connected to each other by a rotor shaft and are rotatably accommodated in a housing.
When exhaust gas is supplied into the housing and rotates the turbine, a rotor is
rotationally driven and the compressor is driven. The compressor takes in air from
the outside and pressurizes the air by an impeller to generate compressed air. The
compressed air is supplied to a diesel engine or the like. Meanwhile, there is a turbocharger,
which is disclosed in, for example, PTL 1, as this turbocharger.
[0003] Incidentally, this turbocharger requires that the busted impeller is not scattered
outward in a radial direction and opening caused by the breakage of a silencer provided
on a side in which exhaust gas is taken in does not occur when the impeller is busted.
[0004] In the turbocharger in the related art, an air-guiding cylinder is disposed outside
the impeller. However, since the air-guiding cylinder is manufactured by casting,
the air-guiding cylinder does not have sufficient strength against an impact force.
For this reason, there is a concern that a scroll (scroll chamber) provided outside
the air-guiding cylinder may be broken. A method of improving the strength of the
air-guiding cylinder by increasing the wall thickness of the air-guiding cylinder
may be considered as a countermeasure. In this case, the air-guiding cylinder is not
broken, but the impeller is scattered to the side in which exhaust gas is taken in
and breaks the silencer after colliding with the air-guiding cylinder. For this reason,
there is a concern that opening may occur.
[0005] There is an exhaust gas turbine turbocharger disclosed in, for example, PTL 2 as
a turbocharger that solves this problem. The exhaust gas turbine turbocharger disclosed
in PTL 2 includes a turbine housing, a compressor housing, and a bearing housing.
The bearing housing is provided with a lubricant head tank; the lubricant head tank
is provided with a turbine-side partition wall that is positioned closer to the compressor
than a turbine blade, and a compressor-side partition wall that is positioned closer
to the turbine than a compressor impeller; and an impact absorbing partition wall
is positioned toward the compressor from the compressor-side partition wall with an
interval therebetween.

Summary of Invention
Technical Problem
[0007] In the above-mentioned exhaust gas turbine turbocharger of PTL 2, the turbine-side
partition wall is provided closer to the compressor than the turbine blade, the compressor-side
partition wall is positioned close to the turbine, and the impact absorbing partition
wall is positioned toward the compressor from compressor-side partition wall with
an interval therebetween. In this case, when the impeller is busted, the breakage
of the scroll cannot be prevented.
[0008] The invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problem, and an object of
the invention is to provide a compressor and a turbocharger that can prevent the breakage
of a scroll when an impeller is busted.
Solution to Problem
[0009] In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, a compressor according to an aspect
of the invention includes an impeller that is fixed to a rotor shaft, a guiding cylinder
that is disposed on an outer peripheral side of the impeller and guides fluid taken
in from an intake port to the impeller, a scroll that is disposed on an outer peripheral
side of the guiding cylinder and guides compressed air pressurized by the impeller,
and a ring member that is disposed between the guiding cylinder and the scroll.
[0010] Accordingly, when the impeller is busted, the impeller or a part thereof scattered
outward in the radial direction collides with the guiding cylinder first of all and
the guiding cylinder absorbs the impact force of the impeller or a part thereof while
being broken. After that, the impeller or a part thereof collides with the ring member
but does not break the ring member since the impact force of the impeller or a part
thereof has been previously reduced. For this reason, since the scattering of the
impeller or a part thereof in the axial direction is suppressed, the occurrence of
opening is prevented. As a result, it is possible to prevent the breakage of the scroll
that may occur when the impeller is busted.
[0011] In the compressor according to the aspect of the invention, the scroll is fastened
to a housing by bolts, the guiding cylinder is fastened to the scroll by bolts, and
the ring member is fastened to the guiding cylinder by bolts.
[0012] Accordingly, in a state in which the ring member is fastened to the guiding cylinder,
the ring member and the guiding cylinder may be inserted into the housing and the
guiding cylinder may be fastened to the scroll. Therefore, assemblability can be improved.
[0013] In the compressor according to the aspect of the invention, one end portion of the
ring member in an axial direction is interposed between the scroll and the guiding
cylinder, and fastening bolts pass through the guiding cylinder and are screwed to
one end portion of the ring member in the axial direction.
[0014] Accordingly, the ring member can be rigidly supported.
[0015] In the compressor according to the aspect of the invention, only one end portion
of the ring member in the axial direction is fixed to the guiding cylinder.
[0016] Accordingly, assemblability can be improved, and the ring member can secure an elastic
force.
[0017] In the compressor according to the aspect of the invention, the guiding cylinder
includes a guiding cylinder body that includes a recirculation passage on an inner
peripheral portion thereof and a guide ring that is disposed on an upstream side of
the recirculation passage in a flow direction of the fluid; the guide ring is fastened
to the scroll by bolts; the guiding cylinder body is fastened to the guide ring by
bolts; and the ring member is fastened to the guide ring by bolts.
[0018] Accordingly, in a state in which the ring member is fastened to the guide ring and
the guiding cylinder body is fastened to the guide ring, the ring member and the guide
ring may be inserted into the housing and the guide ring may be fastened to the scroll.
Therefore, assemblability can be improved.
[0019] In the compressor according to the aspect of the invention, the guiding cylinder
and the scroll are manufactured by casting and the ring member is made of rolled steel
for general structure.
[0020] Accordingly, while the guiding cylinder is broken at the time of collision between
the scattered impeller and the guiding cylinder when the guiding cylinder is formed
to have a crushable structure, an impact force can be absorbed. Further, when the
ring member secures ductility, an impact force can be appropriately absorbed by an
elastic force at the time of collision between the scattered impeller and the ring
member.
[0021] In a turbocharger according to an aspect of the invention, the any one of the above-mentioned
compressors and a turbine are integrally connected to each other by a rotor shaft
and are rotatably accommodated in a housing. Advantageous Effects of Invention
[0022] According to the compressor and the turbocharger of the invention, since the ring
member is disposed between the guiding cylinder and the scroll, it is possible to
prevent breakage of the scroll that may occur when the impeller is busted.

Description of Embodiments
[0024] A preferred embodiment of a compressor and a turbocharger according to the invention
will be described below in detail with reference to accompanying drawings. Meanwhile,
the invention is not limited by this embodiment. In a case in which there are a plurality
of embodiments, the invention also includes combinations of the respective embodiments.
[First embodiment]
[0025] Fig. 1 is a schematic sectional view showing a turbocharger of a first embodiment,
and Fig. 2 is a sectional view showing main parts of the turbocharger.
[0026] In the first embodiment, as shown in Fig. 1, a turbocharger 11 is an exhaust gas
turbine turbocharger that is to supply compressed air to an air supply manifold communicating
with the inside of cylinder liners of a marine diesel engine by being mounted on,
for example, the marine diesel engine (not shown).
[0027] The turbocharger 11 has a structure in which a turbine 12 and a compressor 13 are
integrally connected to each other by a rotor shaft 14 and are rotatably accommodated
in a housing 15.
[0028] The housing 15 has a hollow shape, and the rotor shaft 14 is disposed in the housing
15 and is rotatably supported by a thrust bearing 21 and radial bearings 22 and 23.
A turbine disc 24 is fixed to one end portion of the rotor shaft 14 in an axial direction,
and a plurality of axial flow type turbine blades 25 are provided on the outer peripheral
portion of the turbine disc 24 at predetermined intervals in a circumferential direction.
The turbine 12 includes the turbine disc 24 and the plurality of turbine blades 25.
[0029] Further, the housing 15 is provided with an exhaust gas inlet passage 26 and an exhaust
gas outlet passage 27 for the turbine blades 25. Furthermore, the housing 15 is provided
with turbine nozzles 28 between the inlet passage 26 and the turbine blades 25. Accordingly,
an axial exhaust gas flow, which is expanded under static pressure by the turbine
nozzles 28, is led to the plurality of turbine blades 25, so that the turbine 12 can
be rotationally driven.
[0030] A compressor impeller 31, which is provided with a plurality of blades 31a at predetermined
intervals in the circumferential direction, is fixed to the other end portion of the
rotor shaft 14 in the axial direction. The compressor 13 includes the compressor impeller
31. Further, the housing 15 is provided with an air intake port 32 and a compressed
air outlet 33 for the compressor impeller 31. Furthermore, the housing 15 is provided
with an air-guiding cylinder 34 between the compressor impeller 31 and the air intake
port 32, and is provided with a diffuser 35 and a scroll 36, which includes a scroll
chamber 36a, between the compressor impeller 31 and the compressed air outlet 33.
Air, which is compressed by the compressor impeller 31, is discharged through the
diffuser 35 and the scroll 36 (the scroll chamber 36a). Further, a silencer 37 is
mounted on the air intake port 32 of the housing 15.
[0031] Accordingly, exhaust gas, which is discharged from the marine diesel engine, passes
through the exhaust gas inlet passage 26 and is expanded under static pressure by
the turbine nozzles 28. Therefore, an axial exhaust gas flow is led to the plurality
of turbine blades 25, so that the turbine 12 is rotationally driven by the turbine
disc 24 to which the plurality of turbine blades 25 are fixed. Then, exhaust gas,
which has driven the plurality of turbine blades 25, is discharged to the outside
from the outlet passage 27. Meanwhile, when the rotor shaft 14 is rotated, the integrated
compressor impeller 31 is rotated and air is taken through the air intake port 32.
The taken air is pressurized by the compressor impeller 31 and becomes compressed
air, and the compressed air passes through the diffuser 35 and the scroll 36 and is
supplied to the marine diesel engine from the compressed air outlet 33.
[0032] In the compressor 13 having the above-mentioned structure, as shown in Figs. 1 and
2, the rotor shaft 14 is rotatably supported by the housing 15 and the compressor
impeller 31 is integrally fixed to the other end portion of the rotor shaft 14. Further,
the scroll 36 is disposed outside the compressor impeller 31 in a radial direction,
and the outer peripheral portion of the scroll 36 is fixed to the housing 15 by bolts
41. The scroll 36 includes the scroll chamber 36a, and the silencer 37 is fixed to
a mounting portion 36b, which extends toward the air intake port 32, of the scroll
36 by bolts 42. Furthermore, a mounting flange 36c, which extends from the mounting
portion 36b toward the inner peripheral side, is formed at the scroll 36. A mounting
flange 34a, which extends outward, is formed at one end portion, which is close to
the air intake port 32, of the air-guiding cylinder 34. Further, the mounting flange
34a of the air-guiding cylinder 34 overlaps a portion, which is close to the air intake
port 32, of the mounting flange 36c of the scroll 36 and is connected to the portion
of the mounting flange 36c by bolts 43. Meanwhile, the air-guiding cylinder 34 is
divided into the mounting flange 34a and a body 34b, and the mounting flange 34a and
a body 34b are connected to each other by bolts 45 with a liner 44 interposed therebetween.
[0033] Furthermore, a guide plate 46, which has the shape of a ring, is fixed to the inner
peripheral portion of the scroll 36 by bolts 47, and the turbine nozzles 28 are mounted
on the guide plate 46. A middle portion of the air-guiding cylinder 34 in the axial
direction protrudes toward the inner peripheral side so as to have a curved shape
along the outer peripheral surface of the compressor impeller 31, and an end portion
of the air-guiding cylinder 34 comes into close contact with the inner peripheral
portion of the scroll 36 with an O-ring 48 interposed therebetween.
[0034] In the compressor 13 of this embodiment, a containment ring 51 is disposed between
the air-guiding cylinder 34 and the scroll 36. The containment ring 51 is fastened
to the air-guiding cylinder 34 by bolts. That is, the containment ring 51 has the
shape of a ring of which the inner diameter and the outer diameter are constant in
the axial direction, and one end portion of the containment ring 51 in the axial direction
is interposed between the inner peripheral surface of the mounting flange 36c of the
scroll 36 and the outer peripheral surface of the mounting flange 34a of the air-guiding
cylinder 34. Further, one end face of the containment ring 51 in the axial direction
comes into close contact with the mounting flange 34a, and fastening bolts 52 pass
through the mounting flange 34a and are screwed to one end portion of the containment
ring 51. For this reason, only one end portion of the containment ring 51 in the axial
direction is fixed to the end portion, which is close to the air intake port 32, of
the air-guiding cylinder 34.
[0035] Further, the air-guiding cylinder 34 and the scroll 36 are castings that are manufactured
by casting, and the containment ring 51 is a ring member that is made of rolled steel
for general structure (for example, SS400). That is, the air-guiding cylinder 34 and
the scroll 36 are manufactured with high accuracy by casting so as to have a complicated
shape, but do not have sufficient strength against an impact. Meanwhile, the containment
ring 51 is made of rolled steel for general structure so as to have a simple shape,
and particularly, has ductility higher than the ductility of the air-guiding cylinder
34 and has sufficient strength against an impact.
[0036] Accordingly, when the compressor impeller 31 of the turbocharger 11 is busted due
to a certain factor, a part of the busted compressor impeller 31 is scattered outward
in the radial direction. First of all, a part of the compressor impeller 31 collides
with the air-guiding cylinder 34. Since the air-guiding cylinder 34 is manufactured
by casting, the air-guiding cylinder 34 does not have sufficient strength against
an impact and has a crushable structure. Accordingly, the air-guiding cylinder 34
absorbs an impact force of the compressor impeller 31 while being broken. Then, the
compressor impeller 31 collides with the containment ring 51. Since the containment
ring 51 is made of rolled steel for general structure, the containment ring 51 has
high ductility and has sufficient strength against an impact. Accordingly, the containment
ring 51 receives and absorbs the impact force of the compressor impeller 31 without
being broken. For this reason, the scroll 36 is not broken, and the breakage of the
silencer 37 is prevented since the compressor impeller 31 is not scattered in the
axial direction. Therefore, opening is prevented.
[0037] As described above, in the turbocharger of the first embodiment, the turbine 12 and
the compressor 13 are integrally connected to each other by the rotor shaft 14 and
are rotatably accommodated in the housing 15; and the compressor 13 includes the compressor
impeller 31 that is fixed to the rotor shaft 14, the air-guiding cylinder 34 that
is disposed on the outer peripheral side of the compressor impeller 31 and guides
air taken in from the air intake port 32 to the compressor impeller 31, the scroll
36 that is disposed on the outer peripheral side of the air-guiding cylinder 34 and
guides compressed air pressurized by the compressor impeller 31, and the containment
ring 51 that is disposed between the air-guiding cylinder 34 and the scroll 36.
[0038] Accordingly, when the compressor impeller 31 is busted, the compressor impeller 31
or a part thereof scattered outward in the radial direction collides with the air-guiding
cylinder 34 first of all and the air-guiding cylinder 34 absorbs the impact force
of the compressor impeller 31 or a part thereof while being broken. After that, the
compressor impeller 31 or a part thereof collides with the containment ring 51 but
does not break the containment ring 51 since the impact force of the compressor impeller
31 or a part thereof is previously reduced. For this reason, since the scattering
of the compressor impeller 31 or a part thereof in the axial direction is suppressed,
the occurrence of opening is prevented. As a result, it is possible to prevent the
breakage of the scroll 36 that may occur when the compressor impeller 31 is busted.
[0039] In the turbocharger of the first embodiment, the scroll 36 is fastened to the housing
15 by bolts, the air-guiding cylinder 34 is fastened to the scroll 36 by bolts, and
the containment ring 51 is fastened to the air-guiding cylinder 34 by bolts. Accordingly,
in a state in which the containment ring 51 is fastened to the air-guiding cylinder
34, the containment ring 51 and the air-guiding cylinder 34 may be inserted into the
housing 15 and the air-guiding cylinder 34 may be fastened to the scroll 36. Therefore,
assemblability can be improved. In this case, it is possible to easily fix the containment
ring 51 without changing the scroll 36 and the like by merely changing only the air-guiding
cylinder 34.
[0040] In the turbocharger of the first embodiment, one end portion of the containment ring
51 in the axial direction is interposed between the scroll 36 and the air-guiding
cylinder 34 and the fastening bolts 52 pass through the air-guiding cylinder 34 and
are screwed to one end portion of the containment ring 51 in the axial direction.
Accordingly, since the containment ring 51 is fastened by the bolts and also is interposed
between the scroll 36 and the air-guiding cylinder 34, the containment ring 51 can
be rigidly supported in the housing 15.
[0041] In the turbocharger of the first embodiment, only one end portion of the containment
ring 51 in the axial direction is fixed to the air-guiding cylinder 34. Accordingly,
the containment ring 51 is supported in the form of a cantilever. Therefore, assemblability
can be improved since the number of portions to be fastened by bolts is reduced, and
an impact force, which is generated when the compressor impeller 31 collides with
the containment ring 51, can be absorbed since the containment ring 51 secures an
elastic force.
[0042] In the turbocharger of the first embodiment, the air-guiding cylinder 34 and the
scroll 36 are castings that are manufactured by casting and the containment ring 51
is a ring member that is made of rolled steel for general structure. Accordingly,
since the air-guiding cylinder 34 is appropriately broken at the time of collision
between the scattered compressor impeller 31 and the air-guiding cylinder 34 when
the air-guiding cylinder 34 is formed to have a crushable structure, an impact force
generated at this time can be effectively absorbed. Further, when the containment
ring 51 secures ductility, an impact force can be appropriately absorbed by an elastic
force at the time of collision between the scattered compressor impeller 31 and the
containment ring 51.
[Second embodiment]
[0043] Fig. 3 is a sectional view showing main parts of a turbocharger of a second embodiment.
Meanwhile, members having the same functions as those of the above-mentioned embodiment
are denoted by the same reference numerals, and the detailed description thereof will
be omitted.
[0044] In a compressor 61 of the second embodiment, as shown in Fig. 3, a rotor shaft 14
is rotatably supported by a housing 15 and a compressor impeller 31 is integrally
fixed to the other end portion of the rotor shaft 14. Further, a scroll 36 is disposed
outside the compressor impeller 31 in a radial direction, and the outer peripheral
portion of the scroll 36 is fixed to the housing 15 by bolts 41. The scroll 36 includes
a scroll chamber 36a, and a silencer 37 is fixed to a mounting portion 36b, which
extends toward an air intake port 32, of the scroll 36 by bolts 42. Furthermore, a
mounting flange 36c, which extends from the mounting portion 36b toward the inner
peripheral side, is formed at the scroll 36.
[0045] An air-guiding cylinder 62 is provided with a recirculation passage (air recirculation
passage) 63 that prevents surging likely to occur when the amount of intake air is
small. That is, the air-guiding cylinder 62 includes an air-guiding cylinder body
64 that includes the recirculation passage 63 on the inner peripheral portion thereof
and a guide ring 65 that is disposed on the upstream side of the recirculation passage
63 in the flow direction of air. A middle portion of the air-guiding cylinder body
64 in the axial direction protrudes toward the inner peripheral side so as to have
a curved shape along the outer peripheral surface of the compressor impeller 31, and
a part of the air-guiding cylinder body 64 has a shape recessed toward the outer peripheral
side so that the recirculation passage 63 is formed. The recirculation passage 63
includes an inlet portion 63a and a discharge portion 63b that are provided on an
air passage continued from the air intake port 32.
[0046] Further, a mounting flange 65a, which extends outward, is formed at one end portion,
which is close to the air intake port 32, of the guide ring 65. Furthermore, the mounting
flange 65a of the guide ring 65 overlaps a portion, which is close to the air intake
port 32, of the mounting flange 36c of the scroll 36, and is connected to the portion,
which is close to the air intake port 32, of the mounting flange 36c by the bolts
43. A base end portion of the air-guiding cylinder body 64 comes into close contact
with the guide ring 65, and is connected to the guide ring 65 by bolts 66. Further,
a guide plate 46, which has the shape of a ring, is fixed to the inner peripheral
portion of the scroll 36 by bolts 47, and turbine nozzles 28 are mounted on the guide
plate 46. An end portion of the air-guiding cylinder 62 comes into close contact with
the inner peripheral portion of the scroll 36 with an O-ring 48 interposed therebetween.
[0047] In the compressor 61 of this embodiment, a containment ring 71 is disposed between
the air-guiding cylinder 62 and the scroll 36. The containment ring 71 is fastened
to the air-guiding cylinder 62 by bolts. That is, the containment ring 71 has the
shape of a ring of which the inner diameter and the outer diameter are constant in
the axial direction, and one end portion of the containment ring 71 in the axial direction
is interposed between the inner peripheral surface of the mounting flange 36c of the
scroll 36 and the outer peripheral surfaces of the air-guiding cylinder body 64 and
the guide ring 65 of the air-guiding cylinder 62. Furthermore, one end portion of
the containment ring 71 in the axial direction comes into close contact with the mounting
flange 65a, and fastening bolts 52 pass through the mounting flange 65a and are screwed
to one end portion of the containment ring 71. For this reason, only one end portion
of the containment ring 71 in the axial direction is fixed to the end portion, which
is close to the air intake port 32, of the air-guiding cylinder 62.
[0048] Accordingly, when the compressor impeller 31 of the turbocharger 11 is busted due
to a certain factor, a part of the busted compressor impeller 31 is scattered outward
in the radial direction. First of all, a part of the compressor impeller 31 collides
with the air-guiding cylinder 62. Since the air-guiding cylinder 62 is manufactured
by casting, the air-guiding cylinder 62 does not have sufficient strength against
an impact and has a crushable structure. Accordingly, the air-guiding cylinder 62
absorbs an impact force of the compressor impeller 31 while being broken. Then, the
compressor impeller 31 collides with the containment ring 71. Since the containment
ring 71 is made of rolled steel for general structure, the containment ring 71 has
high ductility and has sufficient strength against an impact. Accordingly, the containment
ring 71 receives and absorbs the impact force of the compressor impeller 31 without
being broken. For this reason, the scroll 36 is not broken, and the breakage of the
silencer 37 is prevented since the compressor impeller 31 is not scattered in the
axial direction. Therefore, opening is prevented.
[0049] As described above, in the turbocharger of the second embodiment, the compressor
61 includes the compressor impeller 31 that is fixed to the rotor shaft 14, the air-guiding
cylinder 62 that is disposed on the outer peripheral side of the compressor impeller
31 and guides air taken in from the air intake port 32 to the compressor impeller
31, the scroll 36 that is disposed on the outer peripheral side of the air-guiding
cylinder 62 and guides compressed air pressurized by the compressor impeller 31, and
the containment ring 71 that is disposed between the air-guiding cylinder 62 and the
scroll 36.
[0050] Accordingly, when the compressor impeller 31 is busted, the compressor impeller 31
or a part thereof scattered outward in the radial direction collides with the air-guiding
cylinder 62 first of all and the air-guiding cylinder 62 absorbs the impact force
of the compressor impeller 31 or a part thereof while being broken. After that, the
compressor impeller 31 or a part thereof collides with the containment ring 71 but
does not break the containment ring 71 since the impact force of the compressor impeller
31 or a part thereof is previously reduced. For this reason, since the scattering
of the compressor impeller 31 or a part thereof in the axial direction is suppressed,
the occurrence of opening is prevented. As a result, it is possible to prevent the
breakage of the scroll 36 that may occur when the compressor impeller 31 is busted.
[0051] In the turbocharger of the second embodiment, the air-guiding cylinder 62 includes
the air-guiding cylinder body 64 that includes the recirculation passage 63 on the
inner peripheral portion thereof and the guide ring 65 that is disposed on the upstream
side of the recirculation passage 63 in the flow direction of air; the guide ring
65 is fastened to the scroll 36 by bolts; the air-guiding cylinder body 64 is fastened
to the guide ring 65 by bolts; and the containment ring 71 is fastened to the guide
ring 65 by bolts. Accordingly, in a state in which the containment ring 71 is fastened
to the guide ring 65 and the air-guiding cylinder body 64 is fastened to the guide
ring 65, the containment ring 71 and the guide ring 65 may be inserted into the housing
15 and the guide ring 65 may be fastened to the scroll 36. Therefore, assemblability
can be improved.
[0052] In this case, it is possible to easily fix the containment ring 71 without changing
the scroll 36 and the like by changing only the air-guiding cylinder 62. Further,
even though the air-guiding cylinder 62 includes the recirculation passage 63, the
containment ring 71 can be appropriately fixed.
[0053] Meanwhile, in the above-mentioned embodiments, the containment rings 51 and 71 have
the shape of a cylinder of which the diameter is not changed in the axial direction.
However, the shapes of the containment rings 51 and 71 may be appropriately set according
to the shapes of the air-guiding cylinders 34 and 62, the scroll 36, and the like,
and may be, for example, the shape of a truncated cone, the shape of a combination
of a cylinder and a truncated cone, or a shape including ribs and the like.
[0054] Further, the turbocharger of the invention has been applied to a marine exhaust gas
turbine turbocharger in the above-mentioned embodiments, but is not limited to this
field.
