A simplified, low cost, turbine flow controlling device, using a sliding gate, with an actuator to control exhaust flow to multiple volutes, which volutes have perforated transverse divider walls. By moving the sliding gate (80) from a closed position (88) through a displacement of “a” to the next position b1; and then from position b1 through a displacement of “b” to the next position c1, each a discreet movement, by a simple actuator, an increasing number of volutes are opened for flow from the exhaust manifold, via the volutes with perforated transverse divider walls, to the turbine wheel, without the attenuation of pulse energy usually seen in VTGs, at a cost lower than that of a VTG.

1. A variable geometry turbocharger turbine housing comprising: an exhaust gas inlet (51);a volute for channeling exhaust gas from said exhaust gas inlet and defined in part by a radially outer volute wall;a turbine wheel chamber adapted for enveloping a turbine wheel (70) mounted for rotation about an axis;a vortex zone in which exhaust gas transitions from the volute to the turbine wheel;an exhaust gas outlet (52);at least first and second divider walls (58, 59; 58′, 59′), generally parallel to the axis of the turbine wheel, dividing the volute into at least first, second and third volute portions, said first and second divider walls each having a plurality of communicating openings (82, 83), said first and second divider walls each having an upstream end and a downstream end; anda sliding gate valve (80), adapted to being moved between positions, wherein in at least one of the positions the sliding gate valve blocks exhaust gas flow to at least one of the volute portions,wherein each volute portion channels exhaust gas to a different circumferential area of the vortex zone. 2. The turbocharger turbine housing as in claim 1, wherein the first and second divider walls divide said volute into at least one radially outer volute portion, one radially inner volute portion, and one volute portion intermediate said outer and inner portions. 3. The turbocharger turbine housing as in claim 1, wherein the first divider wall, measured from a termination point of the radially outer volute wall to a trailing end of the first divider wall (92), spans an arc of from 90° to 150°, and wherein said second divider wall, measured from the trailing end of the first divider wall (92) to the trailing end of the second divider wall, spans an arc of 90° to 150°. 4. The turbocharger turbine housing as in claim 1, wherein each volute portion channels exhaust gas to approximately one-third of the vortex zone. 5. The turbocharger turbine housing as in claim 1, wherein each divider wall measured from a termination point (93) of the radially outer volute wall (53) to a trailing end of the divider wall spans an arc of greater than 180°. 6. The turbocharger turbine housing as in claim 5, wherein each volute portion measured from the termination point (93) of the radially outer volute wall (53) to the trailing end of the volute portion spans an arc of 270° or more. 7. The turbocharger turbine housing as in claim 1, wherein said sliding gate valve is a plate-type gate mounted for reciprocation in a guideway between positions wherein said gate opens all said volute portions, and wherein said gate closes one or more of said volute portions, and wherein said sliding gate has a leading edge cooperating with the leading edge of the first divider wall for completely blocking one volute portion while leaving free another volute portion. 8. The turbocharger turbine housing as in claim 1, wherein said sliding gate valve is a plate-type gate mounted for reciprocation in a guideway between positions in increments smaller than a distance from one divider wall (59, 59′) to a next divider wall, whereby movement of said sliding gate produces gradual blockage of said volute portions. 9. The turbocharger turbine housing as in claim 1, wherein said sliding gate valve is a variably positionable gate valve controlled by an intelligent actuator.
