Abstract
A turbocharger includes an annular bypass passage with an annular bypass valve disposed therein. The bypass valve includes a fixed annular valve seat and a rotary annular valve member disposed against the valve seat. The valve member is rotatable about the axis for varying a degree of alignment between orifices in the valve seat and valve member so as to form flow passages having a flow area A for exhaust gas. The orifices are shaped to provide a first phase of evolution of the flow area A from zero up to a value Aand then a second phase of evolution from the value Aup to a value A, and such that the first and second phases have distinctly different slopes on a curve of flow area versus rotational position of the valve member, with a distinct break point in the curve between the first and second phases.
