SUPERCHARGER AIR FLOW DIVERTER

摘要

A supercharger system includes a supercharger main housing enclosing one or more active components for moving air from an upstream side to a downstream side of the supercharger main housing. The system includes a supercharger inlet housing mounted at the upstream side of the supercharger main housing and a re-circulation line. The re-circulation line provides fluid communication between the downstream side of the supercharger main housing and the supercharger inlet housing. The line includes a flow diverter having first and second portions within the supercharger inlet housing. The first portion defines a first re-circulation flow direction and the second portion defines a second re-circulation flow direction. The second direction may be 45-135 degrees relative to the first recirculation direction.

1. A supercharger system comprising:
a supercharger main housing enclosing one or more active components for moving air from an upstream side to a downstream side of the supercharger main housing; a supercharger inlet housing mounted at the upstream side of the supercharger main housing; and a re-circulation line that provides fluid communication between the downstream side of the supercharger main housing and the supercharger inlet housing, the re-circulation line including a flow diverter having first and second portions within the supercharger inlet housing, the first portion defining a first re-circulation flow direction and the second portion defining a second re-circulation flow direction, the second re-circulation direction being angled relative to the first recirculation direction, and the second portion being located at an outlet end of the re-circulation line.
