Patent number: 11365670Abstract: A method of modifying the oil cooling system of a diesel engine includes the steps of removing the original equipment liquid-to-liquid heat exchanger and installing a manifold having a configuration adapted to match the mounting configuration of the oil passages of the original equipment liquid-to-liquid heat exchanger. The manifold has an oil outlet port directed to a remotely mounted oil cooler. The manifold also has a water passage having a configuration that is adapted to match the mounting configuration of the water passages of the original equipment liquid-to-liquid heat exchanger. The water passage causes the entirety of the flow of water to be discharged back to the water cooling system of the engine where it is circulated by the water pump through the water cooling passages in the engine.Type: GrantFiled: September 26, 2019Date of Patent: June 21, 2022Assignee: Neal Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Gene Neal, Kennieth Neal

Publication number: 20190214712Abstract: A third brake light antenna adapter includes an antenna base attached to a spacer that is installed between the vehicle third brake light and the third brake light opening. The spacer is provided with gaskets, substantially identical to the OEM third brake light gaskets, which provide weatherproof seals between the spacer and the vehicle and between the spacer and the third brake light. Special support brackets enable the spacer to grip the inside of the vehicle passenger compartment to hold it securely to the vehicle without extensive modifications to the vehicle structure itself.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 12, 2019Publication date: July 11, 2019Inventor: Kennieth Neal

Patent number: 10071446Abstract: An apparatus and method are presented for repairing damage to the boundary wall between an engine coolant passage and a fuel injector bore in a cylinder head. The method involves removing the fuel injector from the fuel injector bore adjoining the damaged boundary wall and inserting a purpose-built sealant injector tool into the fuel injector bore. The sealant injector tool is dimensionally equivalent to the fuel injector in critical regions so that it conforms to the interior surface of the fuel injector bore. Sealant is injected into the sealant injector tool at high pressure until the sealant flows into the crack between the fuel injector bore and the coolant passage after which the sealant injector tool is removed and the fuel injector reinstalled.Type: GrantFiled: May 16, 2016Date of Patent: September 11, 2018Inventors: Kennieth Neal, Eugene Neal

Patent number: 10016856Abstract: A method of rebuilding a salvaged EGR coolers is disclosed in which the existing heat exchanger elements are removed from the salvaged stock EGR cooler housing and replaced with a heat exchanger element made from a pair of heat exchanger tube sub-assemblies. Each of the heat exchanger tube sub-assemblies includes an end plate with a selected number of attached tubes and a selected number of bores, which are adapted to receive the ends of the tubes attached to the other tube sub-assembly. The tube sub-assemblies are mated together with the free ends of the tubes received into the bores of the opposite end plate. Exhaust fittings are then welded to the ends of the housing.Type: GrantFiled: August 18, 2014Date of Patent: July 10, 2018Inventors: Eugene Neal, Kennieth Neal

Patent number: 9964077Abstract: A heat exchanger for transferring heat between two fluids consists of a shell surrounding at least two tube bundles attached at both ends to a tube header. Each of the tube bundles is constructed from a plurality of individual tubes that are twisted into identical helixes formed about a common helical axis. Because each individual tube is formed in the shape of a helix, rather than as a straight tube, thermal elongation of the individual tubes results in a considerably reduced axial force on the tube attachments and tube header. Use of multiple tube bundles wound with opposite twist direction improves spacing efficiency between tubes.Type: GrantFiled: February 16, 2017Date of Patent: May 8, 2018Inventors: Kennieth Neal, Eugene Neal
