Abstract

Dans un turbocompresseur servant à comprimer l'air aspiré vers l'intérieur d'un moteur à combustion interne, une solution économique permet de limiter au maximum le jeu entre le carter du compresseur et l'hélice du compresseur et d'améliorer la réaction d'accélération dans une plage de vitesses lentes. Une rainure (14) correspondant à une plage non supérieure à la moitié de la longueur du bord extérieur depuis un orifice de sortie d'écoulement est située sur la paroi intérieure du carter (9) du compresseur et un élément coulissant (14) est placé dans cette rainure (14), de manière à se projeter vers l'extérieur afin de venir pratiquement en contact avec l'hélice (8) du compresseur, ce qui limite au maximum le jeu entre le carter (9) et l'hélice (8). Etant donné que cet élément coulissant (15) doit simplement être placé dans la rainure, on peut fabriquer sans difficultés ce type de turbocompresseur.
