Axial-flow turbine for turbocharger
Abstract:
An object is to provide an axial-flow turbine for a turbocharger in which low-temperature outside air or lubricant oil does not flow backward into a gas flow path from a gap between an upstream end face of a hub part and a housing end face. An axial-flow turbine for a turbocharger includes a bearing, a rotational shaft supported rotatably by the bearing, a hub part disposed on an axial end of the rotational shaft, a turbine wheel having a plurality of rotor blades protruding outwardly in a radial direction from a circumferential face of the hub part; and a housing which houses the turbine wheel and which at least includes a rotational shaft housing section accommodating the rotational shaft, a scroll part which swirls gas having been introduced into the housing around the rotational shaft, and a bend section which is formed around the rotational shaft housing section and configured to direct gas having flowed out from an outlet of the scroll part in an axial direction. The housing includes a bypass flow path disposed at an upstream side with respect to a housing end face facing an upstream end face of the hub part of the turbine wheel and through which the bend section and the rotational shaft housing section are in communication with each other.
