An assembly for an exhaust bypass valve of a two-stage turbocharger can include a first turbocharger stage; a second turbocharger stage; an exhaust bypass valve that includes an open state and a closed state; an actuator; and a linkage mechanism that links the exhaust bypass valve to the actuator where the linkage mechanism includes a spring-biased linkage with a preset load where, in the closed state of the exhaust bypass valve, an axial length of the spring-biased linkage increases responsive to application of a load by the actuator that exceeds the preset load.

Linkage for exhaust bypass valve of multi-stage turbocharger

An assembly can include a valve seat for an exhaust bypass valve of a serial turbocharger system where the valve seat includes a base portion and a wall portion that extends axially away from the base portion; and a gasket that includes a planar portion that defines a perimeter and a socket disposed interior to the perimeter, where the socket includes a valve seat surface axially recessed from the planar portion and configured to position the seat. In various examples, the valve seat is positioned in the socket of the gasket and fixed to the gasket. Various other examples of devices, assemblies, systems, methods, etc., are also disclosed.

Valve seat and gasket for exhaust bypass valve

A subassembly of a system including an exhaust gas turbocharger system coupled with an internal combustion engine exhaust system, includes first and second components secured to each other, wherein the components are heated to an operational temperature by engine exhaust gases during engine operation. The components are secured to each other by or with a 'low-melt material' whose melting temperature is less than the operational temperature, such that the low-melt material melts or at least loses its securing and/or positioning functionality upon operation of the engine and turbocharger system, and thus no longer performs any fastening or positioning function for the components. In some embodiments, temporary fasteners made of or including the low-melt material are employed for temporarily securing and positioning the components.

Turbocharger system subassemblies and associated assembly methods

A variable nozzle device for a turbocharger comprises an annular arrangement of vanes disposed in a nozzle formed between an inner wall and an outer wall, the outer wall being constituted by an axially displaceable member, wherein the axially displaceable member is displaceable by an action exerted from the side of the inner wall.

Nozzle device for a turbocharger and associated control method

A turbocharger having a sliding piston assembly comprising a tubular piston disposed in the bore of the turbine housing such that the piston is axially slidable relative to the turbine housing. The piston assembly further comprises a tubular carrier inserted axially into the bore of the turbine housing surrounding the piston and fixed against axial movement relative to the turbine housing, a radially outer surface of the carrier engaging an inner surface of the bore and a radially inner surface of the carrier being slidably engaged by a radially outer surface of the piston. The carrier defines an axial split extending a length of the carrier, and the carrier is resiliently flexible. Accordingly, the axial split allows the carrier to expand and contract in diameter.

Turbocharger with sliding piston assembly

A turbocharger having a variable geometry turbine inlet incorporates a piston movable to vary the area of the inlet nozzle into the turbine. Vanes extending from the heat shield for flow control in the nozzle are engaged by the piston in a first closed position. In a second open position, the piston is spaced from the vanes increasing the inlet nozzle area.
