Embodiment Construction

[0020] Embodiments of the present invention will now be described by the following detailed description in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0021] figure 1 and figure 2 Shown is a prior art end cover for a charge air cooler of a turbocharged internal combustion engine. Engines employing the end cover 1 of the charge air cooler are large internal combustion engines, such as main or auxiliary engines of ships or engines used by power plants to generate electricity. Circular openings 16, 17, 18, 19 at the lower end of the end cap 1 accommodate connecting pipes which are used to connect the end cap 1 to the flow channels in the turbocharger bracket. In order to replace the O-rings used between the connecting pipes and the end cover 1 and between the connecting pipes and the flow channels of the turbocharger bracket, the entire end cover 1 needs to be removed from the charge air cooler. Before the end cover 1 can be removed, it is also necessary to remove the muffl...

Abstract

The end cover (1) for a charge air cooler of turbocharged internal combustion engine comprises a plurality of chambers (9, 11, 13, 14) that are provided with openings for accommodating connecting pipes (39, 40, 41). Each of the chambers (9, 11, 13, 14) comprises a maintenance hole (20, 21, 22, 23) for accessing the chamber (9, 11, 13, 14).

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an end cover for a charge air cooler of a turbocharged internal combustion engine. Background technique [0002] Most turbocharged large internal combustion engines, such as marine or power plant engines, are equipped with a charge air cooler to reduce the temperature of the intake air before it is introduced into the engine cylinders. In certain types of engines, the charge air cooler is arranged inside the bracket of the turbocharger. In V-engines, the two-row engine may be equipped with its own charge air cooler. The charge air cooler consists of an end cover which is a heavy cast iron block which may weigh 300kg or more. figure 1 and figure 2 An example of such an end cap is shown. The circular opening at the lower end of the end cover accommodates a connecting pipe, which connects the end cover with the flow channel in the turbocharger bracket or the independent pipe under the turbocharger bracket. O-rings are used t...
