  • Publication number: 20200347978
    Abstract: A thermal expansion/pressure compensator includes a body having an inlet at a first connection point and an outlet at a second connection point. The body includes a flexible member extending along a portion of the body. The body has an internal chamber configured to receive a fluid via the inlet. The internal chamber is shaped to direct fluid through the flexible member and out of the body via the outlet. The flexible member is configured to flex responsive to expansion of the body. The compensator also includes a rigid member operably coupled with the body. The rigid member is thermally and fluidly isolated from the body and the flexible member. The body, the flexible member, and the rigid member are formed as a unitary structure.

  • 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.
