Abstract:
A compressor wheel for a turbocharger includes a body having a top and a bottom, the body formed from a material comprising titanium, a central hub extending from the top to the bottom of the body of the compressor wheel, a central axis extending longitudinally through a center of the central hub of the compressor wheel, a central opening extending through the central hub of the compressor wheel, and a first set of vanes mounted to the body relative to the central axis such that each of the first set of vanes is off-axis relative to the central axis. Each of the first set of vanes having a top portion proximate a top of the central hub and extending downwardly along a curved path to a bottom portion proximate a bottom of the body. The compressor wheel further includes a second set of vanes mounted to the body having a top portion proximate a midpoint of the body and extending downwardly along a curved path to a bottom portion proximate the bottom of the body. The bottom of the body of the compressor wheel has a bottom surface extending radially inwardly and upwardly such that less of the material is present than if the bottom surface was flat.
