Abstract
A turbo housing manifold includes a base plate defining a first opening and a housing conduit portion connected with the base plate and defining a second opening distal from the first opening. The housing conduit can include a first extending portion proximate to the base plate and extending axially away from the base plate, and a second extending portion connected with the first extending portion and distal from the base plate wherein an inner surface of the second extending portion transitions as the second extending portion extends away from the base plate.
Claims17
A turbo housing manifold, comprising:
- a planar base plate comprising a radially-extending overhang defining a first opening;
- and
- a housing conduit portion connected with the base plate and defining a second opening distal from the first opening and axially aligned with the first opening to form a fluid passage between the first opening and the second opening, the housing conduit portion defining an inner surface, the housing conduit portion further including:
- a first extending portion proximate to the base plate and extending axially away from the base plate;
- and
- a second spherical extending portion connected with the first extending portion and distal from the base plate;
- wherein an inner surface of the second spherical extending portion transitions from a larger radius to a smaller radius as the second spherical extending portion extends away from the base plate;
- wherein the overhang extends radially into the fluid passage beyond the first extending portion of the housing conduit portion.
A turbocharger assembly, comprising:
- an upstream turbo housing having a fluid inlet and a hollow passage fluidly coupled to the fluid inlet;
- and
- a turbo housing manifold coupled to the upstream turbo housing to define a flow passage through the hollow passage and the turbo housing manifold, the turbo housing manifold further comprising:
- a planar base plate comprising a radially-extending overhang defining a first opening fluidly coupled to the fluid inlet;
- and
- a housing conduit portion connected with the base plate and defining a second opening, the housing conduit portion further including:
- a first extending portion proximate to the base plate and extending axially away from the base plate;
- and
- a second spherical extending portion connected with the first extending portion and distal from the base plate;
- wherein an inner surface of the second spherical extending portion transitions from a larger radius to a smaller radius as the second spherical extending portion extends away from the base plate;
- and
- wherein the overhang extends radially into the flow passage beyond the first extending portion.
