Abstract
The invention relates to a line element (10) for a fluid-cooled turbocharger (20) of an internal combustion engine (30), having a supply line (11) for supplying cooling fluid to the turbocharger (30) and an outlet line for discharging cooling fluid from the turbocharger (20), wherein the turbocharger (20) has an internal cooling fluid path (23) which has an inlet (21) which can be connected for fluid flow to the supply line (11), and an outlet (22) which can be connected for fluid flow to the outlet line (12), and wherein the supply line (11) is also connected to the outlet line (12) via a bypass connection (14, 15, 16).
Claims12
A line element for a fluid-cooled component of an internal combustion engine, comprising a supply line for supplying cooling fluid to the component and an outlet line for discharging cooling fluid from the component, wherein the component has an internal cooling fluid path which has an inlet which can be connected for fluid flow to the supply line, and an outlet which can be connected for fluid flow to the outlet line, and wherein the supply line is also fluidically connected to the outlet line via a bypass connection, wherein
- the bypass connection is formed as a recess in the component between the inlet and the outlet, wherein one shared seal is provided which seals the inlet, the outlet, and the recess relative to surroundings of the component;
- a flow resistance of the bypass connection is lower than a flow resistance of the internal cooling fluid path of the component;
- and
- the component is a bearing housing of a compressor for compressing air and for conveying air to the internal combustion engine.
