Turbocharger

A turbocharger comprising:

• a turbine housing that accommodates a turbine wheel;
• a compressor housing that accommodates a compressor wheel;
• a bearing housing that connects the turbine housing and the compressor housing to each other;
• a tubular floating bearing inserted into the bearing housing;
• and
• a shaft that connects the turbine wheel and the compressor wheel to each other, the shaft being inserted into the floating bearing, wherein
• the shaft is rotatable relative to the floating bearing,
• the floating bearing and the shaft are configured to permit oil to be drawn into a gap between an inner circumferential surface of the floating bearing and an outer circumferential surface of the shaft,
• the shaft includes
• a shaft body having an axially central portion inserted into the floating bearing and opposite axial ends protruding from the floating bearing, and
• an annular slinger protruding outward in a radial direction from an outer circumferential surface of at least one of the opposite axial ends of the shaft body,
• the bearing housing defines an oil discharge space surrounding the slinger externally in the radial direction and an oil discharge port connecting the oil discharge space to an outside of the bearing housing, and
• the bearing housing includes a guide wall protruding from an inner wall surface of the oil discharge space, the guide wall being configured to guide oil in the oil discharge space toward the oil discharge port.
