Abstract: A product may include a bearing housing in which a shaft may be supported by a bearing so that it may rotate. A compressor wheel may be disposed on the shaft. A compressor cover may be connected with the bearing housing, which may form a compressor body and may define a chamber within which the compressor wheel may rotate. A diffuser may extend radially outward from the chamber and may receive gas from the compressor wheel. An inlet may be provided to the compressor body, which may receive a supply of exhaust gas. An EGR distribution cavity may be defined within the compressor body and may extend around the shaft. An EGR inlet channel may extend into the bearing housing from the inlet to the EGR distribution cavity. An EGR passage may extend from the EGR distribution cavity to the diffuser.

Abstract: A method of detecting leakage in a compressed air system having a compressor includes configuring an electrical monitor to measure one or more electrical parameters indicative of operation of the compressor. The method further includes identifying periods of time during which the compressor is not in use; analyzing running times and intervals of the compressor between compressor operations during one or more of identified periods of time to establish a baseline for air leakage. The method further includes continuing to analyze running times and intervals of the compressor between compressor operations when the compressor is not in use. The method further includes notifying one or more users when running times and intervals between compressor operations vary from the baseline.
