Embodiment Construction

[0023] According to some embodiments, a substantially circular manifold 10 is provided. Manifold 10 may include an inner body 12 . The inner body 12 may have an outer surface 14 of the inner body 12 . Optionally, the inner body 12 may have a void or hole 16 in its central portion. In other embodiments, the inner body 12 may be solid in a central portion.

[0024] Grooves or passages 18 , 20 , 22 and 24 may be formed on the exterior surface 14 of the inner body 12 . Grooves 18 , 20 , 22 and 24 are passageways that allow fluid to flow within manifold 10 . For example, in some embodiments, different axial passages 26 may be fluidly connected to one another via grooves or passages 18 , 20 , 22 , and 24 .

[0025] When the inner body 12 is tightly fitted in the outer body 30, as figure 2 As shown, grooves or passages 18, 20, 22 and 24 are fluidly isolated from each other. Fluid flows through passages 18 , 20 , 22 and 24 to provide fluid communication to a different axial pas...

Abstract

A manifold is provided. The manifold includes: a first body having an outer surface; a second body having an inner surface corresponding to the outer surface of the first body and the first body is micro-welded to the second body; and a groove formed in one or both of the outer and inner surfaces, wherein the first body is dimensioned to fit within the second body so that the outer surface contacts the inner surface and the groove forms a fluid passage located between the first and second bodies, the fluid passage having an inlet and an outlet. Also in some embodiments a method of forming a manifold is provided. The method includes: filling a die with powdered metal having grains; compressing the powdered metal in the die thereby forming a first body; removing the compressed part from the die; contacting the first body to a second body subjecting the bodies to heat; and forming micro-weld between grains of metal between the two bodies.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application claims U.S. Patent Application Serial No. 14 / 716,755, filed May 19, 2015, and entitled "A Multi-Component Conical Concentric Manifold and Method of Making the Same," and filed on August 10, 2015 Priority to U.S. Patent Application No. 14 / 821,985, entitled "A Multi-Component Manifold and Method of Making the Same," filed on , the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. technical field [0003] The present invention generally relates to a manifold. More specifically, the present invention relates to a multi-component, concentric, tapered, compact manifold. Background technique [0004] Manifolds are traditionally used to assist in the routing of various fluids. A single housing or block often has various passages formed or machined therein to provide conduits for fluids. Typically, the shell or block is angular or rectangular in shape. In many cases, pathways are mach...
