Supercharger assembly with rotor end face seal and method of manufacturing a supercharger assembly

A supercharger assembly has a rotor housing defining a chamber. A rotor is within the chamber and has an end with an end face. A seal has a seal face adjacent the end face. The seal face and the end face have complex topographies configured to be complementary to define a gap therebetween. The compl...

Zusammenfassung:	A supercharger assembly has a rotor housing defining a chamber. A rotor is within the chamber and has an end with an end face. A seal has a seal face adjacent the end face. The seal face and the end face have complex topographies configured to be complementary to define a gap therebetween. The complex topographies can be, but are not limited to, interfitting concentric annular channels. The gap functions as a tortuous flow path to inhibit fluid flow past the end face. A method of manufacturing a supercharger assembly is also provided.
