Abstract

A guide vane of a turbo-compressor has variable turbine geometry, in particular for a motor vehicle. The guide vane has a profile with a lower side, an upper side and a front edge. The guide vane is characterized by a nose which extends along the front edge of the vane, from the front edge of the vane to the upper side of the vane and forms a low pressure on the upper side of the vane when waste gas impacts the guide vane. A guide vane configuration, a turbo-compressor, a motor vehicle and a method for operating this type of turbo-compressor are further disclosed.
