ABSTRACT:
A turbocharger for compressing air on the air inlet side of a fuel air combustor or in the air intake manifold of an internal combustion engine of a compression ignition engine whereby the exhaust energy of the exhaust gases for the engine is used to boost the intake manifold pressure or the combustor air inlet pressure, the turbocharger having a rotor with multiple air and gas cells situated in a shroud so that the cells communicate through ported stators with air inlet and exhaust ports and gas inlet and exhaust ports, pressure waves established in the cells effecting compression of the inlet air for the engine, the materials used for the rotor and the shroud being closen to effect a minimum, uniform running clearance therebetween to reduce leakage and improve operating efficiency, the running clearance between the stators on either side of the rotor and the rotor itself being minimized by the use of an abradable seal.
