ABSTRACT:
To reduce the speed of air being sucked towards a compressor turbine wheel, typically an exhaust gas supercharger turbine for an internal combustion engine, guide vanes (18) are located in the path of air being supplied to an inlet (3) of the compressor (1) which are positioned to impart a rotating component of motion to the air stream of air column being supplied to the compressor, the guide vanes extending essentially perpendicularly to the plane of radially positioned damping elements (14), while being inclined with respect to a radial line (19) passing through the axis of rotation of the compressor and, typically, of the housing (8) which has an air-pervious circumferential wall (8). The speed of air being supplied to the turbine thus can be reduced below Mach 1, thereby increasing the efficiency of operation of the turbine while substantially reducing its noise level.
