Abstract
Nozzle rings for variable geometry turbines comprise: a generally annular wall; an inner flange; an outer flange; and two protrusions. Inner flange is generally perpendicular to the generally annular wall, from which a radially inner edge extends. Outer flange is generally perpendicular to the generally annular wall and extends from a radially outer edge of the generally annular wall. The two protrusions extend from one of the inner or outer flange towards the other one of the inner or outer flange. At least one of the two protrusions extends only partially towards the other one of the inner or outer flange. The two protrusions define a first gap therebetween. Generally annular wall and the two protrusions define a second gap therebetween to receive a support arcuate head portion during use. First gap receives a support intermediate portion. The nozzle rings may be suitable for use in variable geometry turbochargers.
