Patent number: 10619946Abstract: A heat exchanger for cooling a flow of compressed air using a liquid coolant includes a stack of coolant flow plates extending in a stacking direction. An enclosure surrounds the stack of coolant flow plates to at least partially define the flow path for the compressed air, and includes a first wall generally arranged in a plane parallel to the stacking direction, a second wall joined to the first wall and generally arranged in a second plane perpendicular to the stacking direction, a coolant port provided on an external surface of the first wall, an aperture provided on an internal surface of the second walls, and a coolant flow path extending through the interior of both the first wall and the second wall between the coolant port and the aperture.Type: GrantFiled: February 12, 2016Date of Patent: April 14, 2020Assignee: MODINE MANUFACTURING COMPANYInventors: Steven Meshenky, Christopher Michael Moore

Patent number: 10605545Abstract: A heat exchanger includes a heat exchanger core having two core sections, each core section having coolant flow passages. A mounting bracket is arranged between the core sections, being joined to each core section. A housing for the heat exchanger core includes multiple housing sections joined together to define an air flow path. The mounting bracket is secured between the multiple housing sections.Type: GrantFiled: February 8, 2017Date of Patent: March 31, 2020Assignee: MODINE MANUFACTURING COMPANYInventor: Steven Meshenky

Patent number: 10337801Abstract: A heat exchanger for cooling a flow of charge air includes a heat exchanger core that is inserted through an aperture of a housing. A leak-free seal is maintained along the periphery of the aperture by the compression of a gasket between a top plate of the heat exchanger core and a planar bearing surface of the housing. Compression of the gasket is maintained by one or more deformable retaining members that are disposed against the top plate.Type: GrantFiled: December 18, 2014Date of Patent: July 2, 2019Assignee: MODINE MANUFACTURING COMPANYInventors: Steven Meshenky, Christopher Michael Moore, Robert Cook

Patent number: 10196964Abstract: A charge air cooler includes a first, second, and third heat exchange sections. In the first heat exchange section, heat is transferred from a first flow of liquid coolant to a refrigerant in order to cool the first flow of liquid coolant from a first temperature to a second temperature. In the second heat exchange section, heat is transferred from a flow of charge air to a second flow of liquid coolant in order to cool the flow of charge air from a third temperature to a fourth temperature. In the third heat exchange section, heat is transferred from the flow of charge air to the first flow of liquid coolant in order to cool the flow of charge air from the fourth temperature to a fifth temperature, the fifth temperature being less than the first temperature.Type: GrantFiled: June 6, 2016Date of Patent: February 5, 2019Assignee: MODINE MANUFACTURING COMPANYInventors: Jason Braun, Frank Lippke, Steven Meshenky, Ashutosh Patil, Mitchell Crawford, Kyle Shisler

Patent number: 9038609Abstract: An air intake manifold for an engine includes an air inlet to receive a flow of compressed charge air, and multiple runners to deliver cooled compressed charge air to corresponding combustion cylinders of the engine. A charge air cooler is arranged within the intake manifold between the air inlet and the runners, and includes a first core section and a second core section. The first and second core sections are arranged fluidly in parallel with respect to the flow of compressed charge air, so that the charge air is divided into a first portion that is substantially directed through the first core section to a first subset of the runners, and a second portion that is substantially directed through the second core section to a second subset of the runners.Type: GrantFiled: February 12, 2014Date of Patent: May 26, 2015Assignees: Modine Manufacturing Company, Mann+Hummel GmbHInventors: Steven Meshenky, Jason Braun, Christopher Moore

Publication number: 20060081361Abstract: An oil cooler with a integral filter includes first and second elongated tubular headers (10, 12) in spaced parallel relation together with tube slots in each of the headers with the tube slots facing at an alignment with one another. Elongated flattened tubes (14) have their ends in aligned ones of the tube slots and are sealed thereto. Fins (18) extend between the tubes (14) in thermal conducting relation therewith. A filter housing (28) is mounted on the oil cooler and an oil filter element (40) is located within the housing (28).Type: ApplicationFiled: September 13, 2004Publication date: April 20, 2006Inventors: Lawrence Gabbey, Thomas Lefeber, Robert Barfknecht, Steven Meshenky, LeRoy Goines, Peter Kottal, Richard Mielke, Baio Yu

Publication number: 20050058535Abstract: A compact rotary compressor unit within internal intercooling includes a rotary shaft (10) with at least one compressor wheel (14,16) mounted thereon for rotation therewith. The compressor wheel (14,16) has an inlet end (18) of relatively small diameter and a radial discharge end (20) of relatively large diameter. A nominally donut-shaped intercooling heat exchanger (42) is centered about the shaft (10) to receive compressed air from the compressor wheel and cool the same. Both the compressor wheel (14,16) and the heat exchanger (42) are confined in a housing (28).Type: ApplicationFiled: September 16, 2003Publication date: March 17, 2005Inventors: Steven Meshenky, Robert Barfknecht, Kenneth Cornell, James Hennes, LeRoy Goines, Peter Kottal
