US Patent:

56977069, Dec 16, 1997

Filed:

Dec 26, 1995

Appl. No.:

8/576996

Inventors:

Joseph Ciaravino - Huntington Woods MI
Peter Stryker - Lewisburg PA

Assignee:

Chrysler Corporation - Auburn Hills MI

International Classification:

G01K 700

US Classification:

374166

Abstract:

A temperature probe assembly for reading heat gradients occurring in internal combustion engines or other components. The assembly has a plurality of separate thermocouples each having an inner junction mounted in an associated heat contact ring. These rings are mounted in spaced relationship on a tip of a cylindrical probe member to provide axially spaced and multiple heat pick-up points when the tip is mounted in a test bore in the cylinder head near the combustion chamber. Leads from the thermocouples feed to separate gages remote from the engine. The gages collectively detect temperature gradient by reading electric currents proportional to temperature occurring in the thermocouples during engine testing.

Abstract:

An assembly for controlling a flow of exhaust gas from an engine includes a blowdown manifold and a scavenge manifold adapted to be coupled to the engine for receiving the exhaust gas. The assembly also includes a valve system including a blowdown pipe coupled to the blowdown manifold, a scavenge pipe coupled to the scavenge manifold, a scavenge valve member coupled to the scavenge pipe and disposed within the scavenge passage, and at least one actuator operably coupled to the scavenge valve member. The assembly further includes a turbocharger coupled to the blowdown pipe, with the turbocharger including a turbine housing defining a turbine housing interior. The scavenge valve member of the valve system is disposed outside of the turbine housing interior.
