Machine system having cooler with pack seal and header assembly for same
A machine system includes a compressor, and a cooler having an inlet tank to receive compressed air from the compressor, and a header assembly attached to the inlet tank and including a plurality of cooling tubes supported in the header and each having an external heat exchange surface exposed to a flow of cooling air. The cooler further includes a plurality of graphite pack seals each extending peripherally around one of the cooling tubes, and a clamping assembly clamping the pack seals against the header to squeeze the pack seals into sealing contact with the cooling tubes and the header.
Passive air cooling
A passive cooling system includes a fan configured to generate an air flow path for a radiator, the air flow path extending from the fan to the radiator and a cooling pipe extended between a turbocharger and an intake manifold, the cooling path positioned in the air flow path between the fan and the radiator.
TWO-STAGE TURBOCHARGED INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE
A two-stage turbocharged internal combustion engine comprises a low-pressure stage turbocharger mounted at a first end side of an engine block and a high-pressure stage turbocharger mounted at the same first end side of the engine block. The respective turbochargers are mounted via a mounting structure, Which also accommodates the charge air coolers associated with the turbochargers. In order to obtain a compact arrangement and reduce a length of pipe connections between the different components, the different charge air coolers are mounted to mounting structure such that they overlap in a plan view of the internal combustion engine. Further, flow directions of charge air in the different charge air coolers are opposite to each other.
Air fin for a heat exchanger
An air fin for a heat exchanger has air channels defined by corrugations, the corrugations having generally planar flanks joined by alternating crests and troughs. Perforations extend through portions of at least some of the flanks and are aligned within two spaced apart planes. A rectangular aperture extends through at least two consecutive ones of the corrugations, and is bounded by the two planes. A method of making the air fin includes forming perforations into a continuous strip of metal sheet at regular intervals, corrugating the strip to form crests and troughs between the perforations, and punching out a portion of the strip at regular intervals. The punching out includes shearing webs between the perforations, and results in the formation of the rectangular aperture.
DIESEL ENGINE
This diesel engine comprises: an engine body part in which a cylinder head is fastened to an upper section of a cylinder block; a turbocharger; and an exhaust gas post-treatment device. A cooling fan is provided on the front side in the front-rear direction of the engine body part. The cylinder head is configured to have an exhaust side on the left side in the engine width direction, and an intake side on the right side. The exhaust gas post-treatment device is disposed above the cylinder head so as to extend in the engine front-rear direction. The turbocharger is disposed on the exhaust side of the cylinder head and is configured to spray compressed air in the engine front-rear direction.
Intake device of internal combustion engine
An intake device for an internal combustion engine includes: a main pipe having an upstream end forming a suction port and a downstream end configured to be connected to an intake port of an internal combustion engine main body; a compressor of a supercharger provided in the main pipe; an intercooler provided in the main pipe at a position downstream of the compressor and including a cooling part, an upstream header provided upstream of the cooling part, and a downstream header provided downstream of the cooling part; a throttle valve disposed in the main pipe at a position downstream of the intercooler; a bypass pipe having a first end and a second end, the bypass pipe being connected to a part of the main pipe between the cooling part and the throttle valve; and a catch tank provided in the bypass pipe and configure to catch condensed water.
Heater control for engine exhaust
One or more techniques and/or systems are disclosed for controlling exhaust heating to reduce engine out NO.sub.x emission. A heater is used for exhaust temperature control of an exhaust system and is activated at a non-active selective catalytic reduction (SCR) system temperature. One or more exhaust air flow bypasses are controlled during operation of the heater and heating of an exhaust air flow is maintained by the heater prior to activation of the SCR system.
Intake manifold with in-built heat exchanger
Disclosed is an air intake manifold including a heat exchanger built into its body and including at least two ducts for supplying and removing heat-exchange liquid, the ducts extending through the wall of the body of the manifold with a liquid-tight seal and an airtight seal, which are distinct and mutually offset along the longitudinal axis of the relevant duct being created on each of the ducts. The unit creating the liquid tight seal is arranged between the relevant duct and a circulation pipe connected to the free end of the duct. The unit creating the airtight seal is positioned between the relevant duct and the body of the distributor. A leakage path associated with the liquid-tight seal is created between the latter and the airtight seal.
HIGH EFFICIENCY TURBOCHARGER WITH EGR SYSTEM
In accordance with one aspect of the present disclosure, a turbocharger includes a compressor having a compressor wheel, a turbine provided within a housing, and an exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) flow path. The EGR flow path includes a first fluid connection in the housing and located in proximity to the turbine, a second fluid connection located in proximity to a trailing edge of the compressor wheel, an EGR control valve disposed between the first fluid connection and the second fluid connection, the EGR control valve configured to selectively operate the turbocharger in a low-heat mode having an EGR up to 50% and an operational mode having an EGR rate typically less than 35%.
Turbo air cooler
An air cooler for a natural gas engine. The air cooler includes a cooler body having an air inlet, an air outlet, a natural gas inlet, and a natural gas outlet, wherein the air inlet is configured to receive air and the air outlet is configured to discharge the air, and wherein the natural gas inlet is configured to receive natural gas and the natural gas outlet is configured to discharge the natural gas; and a plurality of cooling tubes disposed within the cooler body between the air inlet and the air outlet and in fluid communication with the natural gas inlet and the natural gas outlet, wherein the plurality of cooling tubes are configured to draw heat away from the air using the natural gas when the air flows through the cooler body from the air inlet to the air outlet and passes over the plurality of cooling tubes.
