A rotating group for a supercharger includes a driving shaft and rotor assembly including a driving shaft connected to a driving rotor. A driven shaft and rotor assembly include a driven shaft connected to a driven rotor. The driving rotor is in intermeshing engagement with the driven rotor to rotate in a pair of transversely overlapping cylindrical chambers defined in a rotor housing of the supercharger. A driving shaft bearing is disposed in a bottom plate to radially and axially support the driving shaft for rotating the driving rotor in the rotor housing at a first predetermined axial location of the driving rotor from the bottom plate. A driven shaft bearing is disposed in the bottom plate to radially and axially support the driven shaft for rotating the driven rotor in the rotor housing at a second predetermined axial location of the driven rotor from the bottom plate.

Supercharger

A supercharger exhaust bypass system, comprises a supercharger comprising an inlet and outlet, a bypass valve connected to the supercharger outlet, a first intercooler connected to receive compressed air from the outlet of the supercharger and connected to cool and expel air, a second intercooler comprising an envelope inlet, an exhaust inlet, an exhaust outlet, an exhaust passage between the exhaust inlet and the exhaust outlet, and an envelope connected to the envelope inlet and surrounding the exhaust passage, an engine system connected to receive expelled air from the first intercooler and further connected to output exhaust to the exhaust inlet of the second intercooler, and a bypass conduit connected to the bypass valve and connected to the envelope inlet.
