Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of exhaust gas guide component design of a multi-cylinder engine turbocharger, and more specifically, to a design method for a double-channel volute. Background Art

[0002] In a turbocharger, the main function of the turbine volute is to collect the exhaust gas discharged by the accelerated engine and make it impact the turbine at a certain angle. The volute is widely used in various automotive and ship turbochargers, and plays an irreplaceable role in the fields of national defense and civil industry. The volute is one of the core components of the turbocharger turbine. Its main function is to accelerate and guide the engine exhaust gas to meet the turbine's intake requirements and improve the turbine's working capacity.

[0003] At present, the design of turbine volute profile mainly includes the design of volute spiral section, volute pre-swirl section and volute inlet section. The most commonly used design method is to divide the volute cross section into two parts: trapezoidal and circular parts based on the law of conservation of momentum of gas flow in the volute, calculate the law of change of volute profile with azimuth angle, and then use CAD software to shape it. This method works better when facing relatively simple cross-sectional shapes, but it is difficult to deal with situations with more complex cross-sectional shapes. In addition, with the development of multi-cylinder engines, traditional single-channel volutes will have intake interference problems, which will lead to increased airflow chaos, increase airflow losses, and weaken the flow guidance and acceleration effect of the volute.
