TURBOCHARGER FOR A VEHICLE
DRIVE
June 14, 2017
The invention relates to an exhaust gas turbocharger for a supercharged internal combustion engine with charge air cooler. In order to prevent condensate from forming in the charge air-conducting parts, which, above a certain amount, if it remains within the charge air-conducting parts, leads to damage to the engine, such as for example ice formation, water hammer, or corrosion, it is proposed to provide a condensate drain opening on the compressor of the exhaust gas turbocharger, which is provided in a lowermost region of a charge air flow path through the compressor.
