Abstract
A variable-capacity radial turbine is provided with a gas flow rate control plate which may throttle a restriction of a scroll-shaped channel of a turbine casing, through which flows the exhaust gases into a turbine impeller, so that the impeller may rotate substantially at a constant speed and consequently the intake pressure may be maintained constant over a predetermined engine speed range.
