Abstract
A method for operating a compressor, which supplies an internal combustion engine that is assigned to the compressor at its output end with air compressed to a boost pressure, in which the boost pressure is reducible by releasing the compressed air at least partially via a pressure release valve. The air released via the pressure release valve is used for driving a compressor wheel of the compressor.
Claims15
A method for operating a compressor, the method comprising:
- supplying an internal combustion engine, assigned to an output end of the compressor, with air compressed to a boost pressure, in which the boost pressure is reducible by releasing the compressed air at least partially via a pressure release valve;
- releasing air via the pressure release valve;
- and
- conveying the released air onto a compressor wheel for driving the compressor wheel of the compressor;
- wherein there is a first turbine in rotary connection with a compressor wheel and a second turbine in rotary connection to the compressor wheel, and wherein the air is released via the pressure release valve onto the second turbine.
A compressor for supplying an internal combustion engine, assigned to an output end of the compressor, with air compressed to a boost pressure, in which a pressure release valve is situated to reduce the boost pressure by at least a partial release of the compressed air, comprising:
- a compressor arrangement conveying the air released via the pressure release valve onto at least one turbine that is in rotary connection to the compressor wheel, so as to drive the compressor wheel, wherein the at least one turbine includes a first turbine in rotary connection with the compressor wheel;
- and
- a second turbine in rotary connection to the compressor wheel and situated in a separate turbine housing from a turbine housing of the first turbine, wherein the compressor arrangement conveys the released air via the pressure release valve onto the second turbine so as to drive the compressor wheel.
An internal combustion engine, comprising:
- a compressor configured to supply the internal combustion engine, assigned to an output end of the compressor, with air compressed to a boost pressure, in which a pressure release valve is situated in order to reduce the boost pressure by at least a partial release of the compressed air;
- wherein the air released via the pressure release valve is conveyed onto at least one turbine that is in rotary connection to the compressor wheel so as to drive the compressor wheel, and
- wherein the at least one turbine includes a first turbine and a second turbine, and wherein the compressor includes the first turbine in rotary connection with a compressor wheel, and the second turbine in rotary connection to the compressor wheel.
An internal combustion engine, comprising:
- a compressor configured to supply the internal combustion engine, assigned to an output end of the compressor, with air compressed to a boost pressure, in which a pressure release valve is situated in order to reduce the boost pressure by at least a partial release of the compressed air;
- wherein the air released via the pressure release valve is conveyed onto at least one turbine that is in rotary connection to the compressor wheel so as to drive the compressor wheel, and
- wherein the compressor includes a throttling arrangement at an input side of the compressor arrangement for limiting an air mass flow supplied at the input side.
