ABSTRACT:
Variable geometry turbine, in particular a gas turbine, comprising a housing (2, 22), a turbine rotor (4), a fluid inlet scroll (1) that surrounds the turbine rotor, a vaned nozzle interposed between the inlet scroll and the turbine rotor conceived to accelerate the flow of fluid, the nozzle comprising an axially adjustable ring (5, 25) conceived to vary the nozzle gap (3, 23) and having a wall (19) delimiting the nozzle gap, the wall having balance holes (6, 26, 26′) connecting the nozzle gap with a chamber (12) delimited by the housing and the ring, characterised in that the edges (16), formed by the holes with the surface (18) of the wall facing the nozzle gap, are rounded in the portion (17, 17′) located downstream the holes with respect to the fluid flow. Turbocharger and supercharged engine comprising the engine.
