Patent number: 10329998Abstract: An engine assembly and methods of supporting components of an engine assembly. An internal combustion engine includes an intake port. A charge air cooler is coupled to the intake port. A turbocharger including a charge air output port is fluidly coupled to the charge air cooler. A charge air tube is coupled to the charge air output port of the turbocharger. The charge air tube fluidly couples the turbocharger to the charge air cooler for transfer of compressed charge air from the turbocharger to the intake port of the internal combustion engine. A charge air tube support assembly is coupled to the charge air tube. The charge air tube support assembly is configured to allow axial displacement of the charge air tube along an axis of the charge air tube extending from the output port of the turbocharger to the charge air cooler in response to thermal expansion of the charge air tube. The charge air tube support assembly comprises a wear sleeve and a clamp.Type: GrantFiled: October 19, 2015Date of Patent: June 25, 2019Assignee: Cummins Inc.Inventors: Stephen Sunadh Gidla, David P.

Patent number: 10295086Abstract: A pipe hanger includes generally U-shaped upper and lower hanger parts, and a locking bolt for interconnecting the upper and lower part. The lower hanger part has a saddle portion for supporting a pipe. One of the arms of the upper hanger part has a hook formed on a lower end. The corresponding arm of the lower hanger part has an aperture that is arranged over the hook. The same arm of the lower hanger part has at its end a tilt limiting abutment. In an open state of the pipe hanger the lower hanger part can be suspended from the hook and is allowed to swivel until the tilt limiting abutment abuts the corresponding arm of the upper hanger part. The other arm of the lower hanger part has a bore for the locking bolt to lock the lower hanger part and upper hanger part in the closed position.Type: GrantFiled: January 16, 2017Date of Patent: May 21, 2019Assignee: J. van Walraven Holding B.V.Inventors: Marek Juzak, Frank Nijdam
