  • Cooled gear housing assembly
    Patent number: 9777824
    Abstract: A cooled gear housing includes a first casing section and a second casing section joined together to define an internal volume of the gear housing assembly. A heat conducting membrane is arranged within the gear housing assembly to hydraulically separate a first portion of the internal volume from a second portion of the internal volume. Two or more meshed gears are located within the first portion of the internal volume. Coolant inlet and outlet ports are arranged on one of the casing sections, and are in fluid communication with the second portion of the internal volume.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 9, 2015
    Date of Patent: October 3, 2017
    Assignee: Modine Manufacturing Company

  • GEAR CASING HEAT EXCHANGER
    Publication number: 20150369354
    Abstract: A gear casing heat exchanger has a mounting flange separating the heat exchanger into a first side and a second side. A manifold section is on the first side, and includes an inlet manifold and an outlet manifold. A heat exchange section is on the second side, and extends from the mounting flange in a lengthwise direction. A sealing perimeter is on the second side, and the heat exchange section is entirely contained within a projection of the sealing perimeter in the lengthwise direction. The heat exchange section of the heat exchanger can be inserted through an aperture of a gear casing to provide a cooled gear assembly.
