Abstract: A system and method for integrated electrification of vehicle accessories conventionally driven by an internal combustion engine includes an electric motor coupled to a common accessory drive that drive a plurality of accessories, such as a power steering pump, an air conditioning compressor, an air compressor, a thermodynamic heater and/or a coolant pump. The integrated electrified accessory unit preferably has the electric motor, accessory drive and accessories arranged in a common housing which is configured to be mounted to a chassis frame rail of the vehicle, the common housing including wall penetrations which facilitate rapid connection of the accessories to external lines of the vehicle.

Abstract: A perimeter electric machine cooling arrangement includes a cooling conduit arranged to remove heat from an integrated housing containing an electric motor and a power inverter. The electrical connections between the electric motor and the power inverter are provided by flexible, pre-formed busbars that are arranged in pass over liquid cooling connections in the region between the electric motor and the power inverter. The integrated housing includes an intermediate cover over the electric motor and the power inverter portions of the housing, with a window through which the busbars can pass to reach the electric motor. The housing is further provided with an outer housing cover and seals that isolate the electric motor and the power inverter from the exterior environment and one another.

Abstract: A crankcase assembly for a reciprocating machine is provided in which a crankcase having at least one cylinder with a wet cylinder liner arranged therein. A cylinder head for charging and discharging pressurized gas is mounted on the crankcase and a cylinder head gasket for preventing leakage of pressurized gas out of the cylinder is arranged between the crankcase and the cylinder head and is running circumferentially spaced from the inner wall of the cylinder liner. A circumferential coolant channel is formed between the inner crankcase wall and an outer wall of the cylinder liner, wherein a lower sealing means is arranged between the inner crankcase wall and the cylinder liner on the crankshaft side of the coolant channel for preventing leakage of coolant fluid. An upper sealing means is arranged between the inner crankcase wall and the cylinder liner on the cylinder head side of the coolant channel for preventing leakage of coolant fluid.
