Cooler Bypass Valve System And Method
view source
US Patent:

7007680, Mar 7, 2006
Filed:

Aug 7, 2003
Appl. No.:

10/635500
Inventors:

Brian Lee Tussing - Hagerstown MD, US
David Oliver Britner - Hagerstown MD, US
Stephen Mark Geyer - State Line PA, US
Assignee:

Mack Trucks, Inc. - Allentown PA
International Classification:

F02M 25/07
F02B 33/34
US Classification:

12356812, 123563
Abstract:

In preferred embodiments, to, e. g. , eliminate condensation build-up in the intake manifold and power cylinders, a charge-air cooler (CAC) and/or EGR cooler “bypass” system is provided that can, e. g. , control the intake manifold temperature (IMT) above the dew-point temperature of the boosted air. Preferably, a two-port, single valve-body type valve is provided that proportionally controls the amount of charge-air that is “bypassed” (e. g. , not cooled), while simultaneously diverting the charge-air cooler return, preferably, inversely proportionally.

US Patent:

56495056, Jul 22, 1997
Filed:

Jan 18, 1996
Appl. No.:

8/588133
Inventors:

Brian L. Tussing - Columbus IN
Assignee:

Cummins Engine Company, Inc. - Columbus IN
International Classification:

F01P 104
US Classification:

123 4135
Abstract:

A piston cooling nozzle for an internal combustion engine includes a two-part construction comprising a mounting base and a main body. The mounting base includes a substantially flat end panel which is designed to attach directly to a plateau area on the engine block. The mounting base also includes a plug portion which is designed to seal closed an open end of the main body. The main body includes a through hole which is located in communication with an engine oil rifle. The main body represents a single piece component with an extension arm and cooling nozzle head. The extension arm includes a plurality of drilled passageways which are in communication with four flow jet apertures in the cooling nozzle head. The cooling nozzle head has a generally triangular shape and the four flow jet apertures are arranged so as to track the arc-like curvature of the corresponding piston cooling gallery. Oil flowing through the oil rifle passes through the extension arm and exits from the cooling nozzle head as four narrow and well defined jets of oil.
