Abstract
An apparatus for improving the efficiency of a turbo-supercharger at low load levels is disclosed. The apparatus includes an annular gas inlet housing which encircles the turbine of the turbo-supercharger and which housing includes an inlet for gases flowing toward the turbine. Arranged within the housing is a diaphragm, an outer periphery of which diaphragm is connected to the housing. Connected to the inner periphery of the diaphragm is a guide vane ring. Biasing springs, arranged within the housing, urge the diaphragm, and thus the guide vane ring connected to the diaphragm, toward the inlet.
