Abstract
A connector for coupling an exhaust manifold with a turbocharger housing may include a manifold coupling part coupled with the exhaust manifold, a housing coupling part integrally coupled with an end of the manifold coupling part and coupled with the turbocharger housing, and a plurality of exhaust gas paths penetrating through the manifold coupling part and the housing coupling part.
Claims5
A connector for coupling an exhaust manifold with a turbocharger housing, comprising:
- a manifold coupling part coupled with the exhaust manifold;
- a housing coupling part integrally coupled with an end of the manifold coupling part and coupled with the turbocharger housing;
- and
- a plurality of exhaust gas paths penetrating through the manifold coupling part and the housing coupling part,
- wherein the housing coupling part protrudes outwardly from the manifold coupling part, and
- wherein an outer stepped surface is formed between the manifold coupling part and the housing coupling part, the outer stepped surface contacting the exhaust manifold, and
- wherein an outer side of the housing coupling part is integrally provided with a plurality of outer grooves so as to reduce a temperature of the exhaust gas by increasing heat exchange depending on an increase in a surface area.
