SUPERCHARGER HAVING PRE-BOOSTING CONFIGURATION

摘要

A supercharger constructed in accordance to one example of the present disclosure can include a shaft portion connected to a pulley. A pair of supercharger rotors can be arranged for concurrent rotation with respective rotor shafts. A clutch rotor can be mounted to the shaft portion. The clutch rotor can rotate around a longitudinal axis. A clutch armature can be mounted to a drive shaft and unconnected to the shaft portion. The clutch armature can be configured to rotate around the longitudinal axis. The clutch rotor and the clutch armature can selectively cooperate in an engaged position and a disengaged position. In the engaged position, the clutch rotor and the clutch armature rotate together. An electric motor can have an output that provides a rotational input to one of the rotor shafts.
