  • Patent number: 7950228
    Abstract: A turbo charge system of an engine minimizes energy loss of exhaust gas as a consequence of a crossover pipe that connects exhaust manifolds respectively mounted to cylinder heads at both sides of the engine with each other and that is mounted in each cylinder head, and the crossover pipe is formed as a double pipe structure. The turbo charge system of the engine may include a pair of exhaust manifolds respectively mounted to cylinder heads at both sides of the engine; a pair of turbo chargers connected respectively to the pair of exhaust manifolds and increasing intake air amount by using energy of exhaust gas; and a crossover pipe connecting the pair of exhaust manifolds with each other, wherein a crossover pipe is mounted in each cylinder head.

  • Publication number: 20100139584
    Abstract: An intercooler assembly for a vehicle. The intercooler assembly may include an inflow portion on which an inflow hose is mounted, the inflow portion including a buffering space to temporarily accumulate an in-flowing air, a first cooling portion fluidly connected to the inflow portion, an outflow portion on which an outflow hose is mounted, a second cooling portion fluidly connected to the outflow portion, and a turnaround portion fluidly connecting the first cooling portion and the second cooling portion, wherein the turnaround portion changes a flow direction of the in-flowing air and guides the in-flowing air toward the outflow portion so as to discharge the air.
