Performance Turbocharger T3/T4 Cutaway (9-Body Assembly)
9-body exhaust gas turbocharger assembly with quarter-section cutaway through the cast iron T3 turbine volute, water-cooled CHRA bearing housing, and aluminum compressor scroll.
Exhaust gas turbochargers operate at up to 160,000 RPM under extreme thermal gradients between the 950°C turbine volute and the ambient compressor housing. This 9-body cutaway assembly exposes the complete rotor-bearing system inside the Center Housing Rotating Assembly (CHRA), including twin hydrodynamic bronze sleeve bearings, a 360° thrust bearing collar, heat shield, and wastegate linkage.
1. Geometry & FEA Mesh
- •9 independent solid bodies: turbine housing (cutaway), compressor housing (cutaway), CHRA core (cutaway), Inconel turbine wheel + shaft, billet compressor impeller, nose nut, heat shield, bronze bearings, and pneumatic wastegate actuator.
- •Zero CAD Collisions Gate verified across all 9 bodies.
2. Loads & Boundary Conditions
- •Concentric radial and axial clearances between rotor shaft, bronze sleeve bearings, and CHRA bore.
3. Simulation Results & Findings
- ✓All 9 turbocharger bodies can be toggled individually in the WebCAE model tree to inspect the high-speed rotor and bearing cartridge.
Provides a production-ready multi-body turbomachinery CAD assembly for rotor dynamics, thermal-structural, and flow-path engineering studies.
14 days of full Pro access. The first charge occurs only after 14 days unless canceled beforehand.
