  • Apparatus and method for passive charge air condensate drain with exhaust stack vent
    Patent number: 9702323
    Abstract: A charge air cooling chamber has a lower wall with an orifice in the lower wall. A condensate pipe is fluidly connected to drain exhaust fume condensate from the orifice into a collection tank. A vent pipe is fluidly connected to vent fumes from an upper opening of the collection tank to an exhaust stack. A loop seal is fluidly connected to drain condensate from a lower opening of the collection tank. Exhaust gas moisture condensate drains from the cooling chamber into the collection tank, via the continuously open orifice. Exhaust gas moisture condensate fumes vent from the collection tank to the exhaust stack.
