Abstract
A turbine housing defining a pair of volutes with respective outlets divided by a divider wall, includes a diffuser space in the gas flow path between the volutes and the turbine wheel. The diffuser space has an upstream portion having a smaller axial extent than a downstream portion of the diffuser space. The widening of the diffuser space tends to direct exhaust gas entering the diffusion space from at least one side of the divider wall towards the corresponding axial end of the diffuser space. Thus reduces the tendency of this gas to interrupt the flow into the diffuser space of exhaust gas from the other inlet volute.
