Abstract
A turbocharger and method of controlling the same includes a turbine housing comprising an inlet and an outlet, turbine wheel coupled to a shaft. The turbine housing comprising a first scroll and a second scroll for fluidically coupling the inlet and the turbine wheel. The first scroll has a first end adjacent the inlet and a second end adjacent the turbine wheel. The second scroll has a third end adjacent the inlet and a fourth end adjacent the turbine wheel. An exhaust gas diverter valve is coupled to the turbine housing restricting flow into the first scroll or the second scroll.
Claims11
A system comprising:
- an engine comprising a throttle body;
- a turbocharger comprising a turbine portion and a compressor portion, the turbine portion driven by exhaust of the engine, the compressor portion driven by the turbine portion to pressurize air that is fed to a boost box;
- the boost box directing air to the engine,
- said turbocharger and said engine disposed on a first side of the boost box within a vehicle;
- a bypass path coupling the boost box to ambient air outside the boost box by bypassing the compressor portion;
- a one way valve disposed on a second side of the boost box opposite the engine and the turbocharger on the first side, the second side rearward relative to the front of the vehicle, said one way valve coupled in the bypass path communicating air through the one way valve when a first pressure in the boost box is lower than air pressure outside the boost box.
A system comprising:
- an engine comprising a throttle body;
- a turbocharger comprising a turbine portion and a compressor portion, the turbine portion driven by exhaust of the engine, the compressor portion driven by the turbine portion to pressurize air that is fed to a boost box;
- the boost box comprising a boost box outer wall and directing air to the engine through the throttle body;
- a bypass path coupling the boost box to ambient air outside the boost box by bypassing the compressor portion, the bypass path is formed by a duct fluidically coupled to the boost box;
- a one way valve coupled in the bypass path communicating air through the one way valve when a first pressure in the boost box is lower than air pressure outside the boost box,
- the duct is partially formed by a fuel tank outer wall, the duct is partially formed by a boost box outer wall, and there is a seal between the fuel tank outer wall and the boost box outer wall.
