Abstract
The invention relates to an exhaust turbocharger (1), having a turbine housing (2), which comprises an intake connection (3), the intake connection (3) being integrally connected to an exhaust manifold (4), which comprises a single exhaust gas intake (10).
Claims9
An exhaust turbocharger comprising:
- a cylinder head presenting an exhaust gas outlet that forms a single port in the cylinder head that is directly open to a plurality of exhaust ports;
- a turbine housing integrally formed with an exhaust manifold and connected to the exhaust gas outlet, an intake connection of the turbine housing integrally connected to the exhaust manifold, the intake connection comprising a single exhaust gas intake, wherein the single exhaust gas intake is formed by a depression in the cylinder head in cooperation with a depression in the exhaust manifold and extends along and covers the plurality of exhaust ports wherein the cylinder head includes a first water circuit opening that completely surrounds the exhaust gas outlet and wherein the turbine housing includes a second water circuit opening that mates with the first water circuit opening to allow cooling water to flow between the cylinder head and the turbine housing completely around the exhaust gas outlet.
An exhaust turbocharger comprising:
- a cylinder head of an internal combustion engine that includes a plurality of cylinders, the cylinder head including an exhaust port wherein the exhaust port includes a first cavity in the cylinder head that extends along the cylinder head so that exhaust ports from each of the plurality of cylinders open directly and individually into the cavity;
- a turbine housing configured to house a turbine, the turbine housing being formed with an integral exhaust manifold so as to have a second cavity that extends along and mates with the first cavity in the cylinder head;
- wherein the first and second cavities form a single unitary exhaust gas intake for the exhaust turbocharger, wherein the cylinder head includes a first water circuit opening that completely surrounds the first cavity and wherein the turbine housing includes a second water circuit opening that mates with the first water circuit opening to allow cooling water to flow between the cylinder head and the turbine housing completely around the exhaust port.
