Cylinder head with integrated turbocharger
A cylinder head assembly for an internal combustion engine includes a cast cylinder head and a turbocharger housing integrally cast with the cylinder head and having an integrally cast wastegate housing. The turbocharger housing is configured to receive a turbocharger cartridge rotatably supporting a shaft coupled between a compressor wheel and a turbine wheel. The integrally cast wastegate housing defines a wastegate chamber configured to receive a wastegate valve, a flow of exhaust gas from the turbine wheel, and a flow of wastegate exhaust gas.
Downhole power generation system and method
A downhole power generation includes a power generation module for providing power to a load. A turbine is driven by flow of a downhole fluid to rotate. A generator is coupled with the turbine for converting rotational energy from the turbine to electrical energy, and an AC-DC rectifier is coupled with the generator for converting an alternating voltage from the generator to a direct voltage. A power conversion circuit couples the AC-DC rectifier with the load. The power conversion circuit is configured for providing a first power to the load when the load is in a working mode and providing a second power to the load when the load is in a non-working mode. The second power is less than the first power. A downhole power generation method is also disclosed.
Arrangement of exchangers for marinization of a marine engine
An arrangement of exchangers for marinization of a marine engine, including an engine block with in-line cylinders or cylinders in a V, cooled by a cooling fluid, at least one turbocompressor with a hot chamber connected to an outlet and a cold chamber connected to the cylinders of the engine block, a reverser including a housing and containing oil, wherein the arrangement includes: a radiator hose for supplying cooling water, a turbocompressor exchanger, an engine exchanger, a reverser exchanger, a radiator hose for discharging cooling water toward an outlet of combustion gases, downstream from the hot chamber of the at least one turbocompressor,
with these three exchangers being placed in this order and inserted in the circulation direction of the water between the radiator hose for supplying the cooling water and the radiator hose for discharging this same cooling water.
METHOD FOR DIAGNOSING A PART OF A POWERTRAIN SYSTEM
