Abstract
A compressor scroll is provided for redirecting an airflow from a compressor. The compressor scroll includes a spiral-shaped body; a radial inlet formed in the body for receiving the airflow from the compressor as inlet airflow; and an outlet formed in the body such that inlet airflow flows through the body and exits the outlet as outlet airflow, with at least a portion of the outlet airflow crossing at least a portion of the inlet airflow.
