  • Method and systems for reducing heat loss to a turbocharger during cold engine starting
    Patent number: 11499471
    Abstract: Systems and methods for reducing heat loss to a turbocharger during cold engine starting are described. In one example, a turbocharger bypass pipe and a turbocharger turbine pipe are oriented at forty five degrees relative to a longitudinal axis of a catalyst so that a turbocharger turbine may be completely bypassed, thereby increasing the amount of energy that may be transferred to the catalyst.
    Type: Grant
