Abstract
A buffer chamber and outlet guide provide an air path from an intake passage in a compressor housing to an upstream position relative to an intake port of the compressor. Surging is minimized during low airflow conditions while cyclic forces on the blades of the impeller are minimized during high airflow conditions. By providing an air path through the buffer chamber and outlet guide, ribs or other supporting structures are eliminated within the air pathway through the intake port and intake passage within the compressor housing.
