  • Exhaust manifold having turbine connector with turbine foot
    Patent number: 11988126
    Abstract: A turbine connector (40) in an engine exhaust manifold (30) includes a turbine foot (54) attached to incoming exhaust conduits (42,46). The turbine foot (54) has an outer perimetric edge (72) defining a trapezoidal shape, and inner perimetric edges (86,90) forming exhaust outlets (88,92) from the incoming exhaust conduits (42,46). The inner perimetric edges (86,90) have varied perimetric curvatures largest in finite curvature size upon a web (94) extending between the exhaust outlets (88,92), and together forming an hourglass web profile in a turbine-mounting plane defined by the turbine foot (54).
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 19, 2021
    Date of Patent: May 21, 2024
    Assignee: Caterpillar Inc.
