Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The present invention relates to a variable geometry turbine and a method of controlling the variable geometry turbine. In particular, but not exclusively, the present invention relates to variable turbochargers, and more particularly to turbochargers operative to control engine braking or to affect the temperature of the exhaust gases of an internal combustion engine. Background technique
[0002] A turbocharger is a well known device for supplying air to the intake of an internal combustion engine at a pressure above atmospheric pressure (boost). A conventional turbocharger basically consists of an exhaust gas driven turbine wheel mounted on a rotatable shaft within a turbine housing connected downstream of the engine outlet manifold. Rotation of the turbine wheel rotates a compressor wheel mounted on the other end of the shaft within the compressor housing. The compressor wheel delivers compressed air to the engine inlet manifold. The turbocharge...
