Abstract:
A turbocharger includes a compressor assembly having a compressor housing defining a ported shroud and a switchable trim compressor. The switchable trim compressor is moveable from an open trim position to a closed trim position, with the closed trim position minimizing a diameter of the air inlet opening and blocking air flow through the ported shroud. The positioning of the switchable trim compressor in the open position increases the diameter of the air inlet opening and allows a recirculation air flow through the ported shroud from an interior of the compressor assembly to a position upstream of the switchable trim compressor at a position near the air inlet opening.
