Abstract
A turbocharger unit for an internal combustion engine having at least one exhaust line for the evacuation of exhaust gases from the combustion chamber of the engine and at least one inlet line for the supply of air to the combustion chamber is provided. The turbocharger unit includes a turbine which interacts with a compressor in order to extract energy from the exhaust-gas flow of the engine and pressurize the inlet air of the engine. The compressor is of the radial type and is provided with an impeller having backswept blades in which the blade angle between an imaginary extension of the center line of the blade between root section and tip section in the direction of the outlet tangent and a line connecting the center axis of the impeller to the outer tip of the blade is at least about 40 degrees. The ratio between the inlet diameter of the impeller and its outlet diameter lies within the range 0.50-0.62. The compressor diffuser is provided with blades, the length of which has a ratio to the distance between them, along the periphery in the blade inlet, within the range 0.7-1.5.
