Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention relates to a nozzle ring for use in a variable geometry turbine and a variable geometry turbine incorporating said nozzle ring, such as a variable geometry turbocharger. More specifically, but not exclusively, nozzle rings may be used in variable geometry turbines of diesel powered internal combustion engines. 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 pressure). A conventional turbocharger essentially consists of a housing in which an exhaust gas driven turbine wheel is provided mounted on a rotatable shaft connected downstream of the engine outlet manifold. Rotation of the turbine wheel rotates a compressor wheel mounted on the other end of the shaft. The compressor wheel delivers compressed air to the engine inlet manifold. Traditionally, turbocharger shafts are supported by journals and thrust be...
