Embodiment Construction

[0019] The following is a more detailed description of various concepts and embodiments related to the inventive charge air pipe support assembly and method of supporting charge air pipes of a turbocharger connected to an internal combustion engine. It should be appreciated that the various concepts introduced above and discussed in greater detail below can be implemented in any of numerous ways, as the disclosed concepts are not limited to any particular implementation. Examples of specific implementations and applications are provided primarily for purposes of illustration.

[0020] figure 1 is an engine assembly including a charge air tube support assembly according to an example embodiment. Internal combustion engines, including but not limited to diesel engines, may implement a turbocharger 101 to compress air received at the engine's intake. The compression of the air allows an increase in the amount of intake or charge air received in the internal combustion engine. ...

Abstract

An engine assembly and methods of supporting components of an engine assembly. An internal combustion engine includes an intake port. A charge air cooler is coupled to the intake port. A turbocharger including a charge air output port is fluidly coupled to the charge air cooler. A charge air tube is coupled to the charge air output port of the turbocharger. The charge air tube fluidly couples the turbocharger to the charge air cooler for transfer of compressed charge air from the turbocharger to the intake port of the internal combustion engine. A charge air tube support assembly is coupled to the charge air tube. The charge air tube support assembly is configured to allow axial displacement of the charge air tube along an axis of the charge air tube extending from the output port of the turbocharger to the charge air cooler in response to thermal expansion of the charge air tube. The charge air tube support assembly comprises a wear sleeve and a clamp.

Description

[0001] Related Application Cross Reference [0002] This application claims the benefit of priority to US Provisional Application No. 62 / 074,363, filed November 3, 2014, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. technical field [0003] The present disclosure relates to systems and methods for supporting charge air ducts. Background technique [0004] Internal combustion engines may advantageously incorporate systems such as turbochargers to compress intake air or recirculate exhaust gases. This gas compression allows the engine to produce more power. However, compression of this intake or recirculated gas results in an increase in the temperature of this gas. Turbochargers are typically coupled to the intake components of the engine via ducts or conduits commonly referred to as charge air ducts. The intake components may include an intake throttle and a charge air cooler configured to cool the compressed gas. The increase in temperature of the compresse...
