Claudius Wurm

Title: Claudius Wurm and Turbocharger Innovations.

Introduction

Claudius Wurm is an inventor based in Augsburg, Germany, whose patent work focuses on turbocharger bearing and lubrication designs. His listed portfolio includes 2 patents, and he is associated with MAN Energy Solutions SE.

Latest Patents

Wurm’s listed patents address two related turbocharger designs. Both describe a turbine and compressor connected by a shaft, supported by a bearing housed between the turbine and compressor housings.

One design provides separate lubrication paths for the bearing’s radially outer and inner gaps. Oil from the supply main line can reach each gap independently, offering a distinct approach to lubricating the bearing bush and shaft.

The other design focuses on the bearing bush’s construction. It specifies a rotationally fixed bush and gives its axial ends a greater extent at the radially outer section than at the radially inner section. This geometry distinguishes the design’s bearing arrangement.

Career Highlights

Wurm’s patent record highlights engineering work on turbocharger components, particularly bearing support, lubrication, and bearing-bush geometry. His inventions address design details within systems that couple a turbine rotor to a compressor rotor.

Collaborations

Wurm is associated with MAN Energy Solutions SE. Harald Denkel and Sven Brandt are identified as coworkers.

Conclusion

Claudius Wurm’s listed inventions center on turbocharger bearing designs, with particular attention to independent lubrication paths and the geometry of bearing bushes.
