Ashaft (5) connects theTurbine Wheel with the Compressor Wheel, making It awheel assembly. The Bearing Housing is oil cooled.Engine oil is circulated through the Bearing Housingwhich acts as a heat barrier between the hot Turbine andthe compressor. Bearings are of the sleeve type and arelubricated by engine oil. Oil is taken directly from theclean oil side of the engine oil filters. Piston ring typeseals are used at each end of the shaft.Turbine Housing (e) and Compressor Housing (7) arelocated at opposite ends of the core assembly.Figure 2. - Turbocharger Core Assembly1.Core Assembly2.Turbine Wheel3.Bearing4.Compressor Wheel5.Shaft6.Turbine Housing7.Compressor HousingCGES-185-3PRINTED IN UNITED STATES OF AMERICAPage 3
