Abstract:
A turbocharger with at least one axial turbine stage. Separate circumferential sections of the turbine are fed by separate exhaust system runners. The turbine is designed to harness pulse energy. Corresponding engine having cylinders comprising such a turbocharger.

Claim (Index 13):
An engine having cylinders and a pulse-driven exhaust-gas-driven turbocharger, and including:\n a bearing housing, a turbine housing adjacent the bearing housing, in which an axial turbine wheel is housed in a cylindrical turbine wheel space having an inlet side and an outlet side, the turbine wheel having an axis of rotation, the turbine housing designed to direct exhaust gasses through the turbine wheel in a generally axial direction, the turbine housing including a circumferentially extending collector chamber for collecting exhaust adjacent the bearing housing, runners ( 10 a,  10 b,  10 c ) separately supplying exhaust gas from one or more cylinders of the engine to different circumferentially separated sectors of the turbine wheel space of the turbocharger, the sectors collectively feeding the entire axial inlet side of the turbine wheel space, wherein each of the runners introduces exhaust gas from the engine into the turbine housing axially, wherein, in the collector chamber, exhaust flow axially exiting the turbine wheel space is changed in direction from axial to radial, is collected, and is guided away from the turbocharger to a vehicle exhaust.
