Patent number: 10247149Abstract: An engine assembly with an air intake system and a turbocharger device in fluid communication with the air intake system includes an electronic control unit in communication with the air intake system and turbocharger device. A CAC system is in downstream fluid communication with the turbocharger device and in upstream fluid communication with the air intake system and includes at least one flow adjustment mechanism in communication with the electronic control unit and selectively positionable between a first position and one or more second positions to adjust velocity of air from the turbocharger device flowing through the CAC system and to manage condensation buildup in the CAC system and/or to open a bypass duct in order for some or all of the turbo airflow to bypass the CAC system to reduce or eliminate condensation buildup in the CAC system at warm ambient conditions and ice buildup at cold ambient conditions.Type: GrantFiled: June 7, 2016Date of Patent: April 2, 2019Assignee: GM Global Technology Operations LLCInventors: Mark D. Nemesh, Werner Filsinger, Kai Becker
