1. A charge air cooler assembly for an internal combustion engine, the charge air cooler assembly comprising:
a charge air cooling section having an upstream side and a downstream side; a first housing section fluidly coupled to the upstream side of the charge air cooling section and including a first housing inlet adapted to be fluidly coupled to a fuel supply conduit of an engine; and a second housing section including an upstream portion connected and fluidly coupled to the downstream side of the charge air cooling section, a downstream portion extending from the upstream portion, a first outlet port and a second outlet port at a distal end of the downstream portion of the second housing section, and a dividing wall dividing the upstream portion and the downstream portion to form a first fluid flow path between the downstream side of the charge air cooling section and the first outlet port and a second fluid flow path between the downstream side of the charge air cooling section and the second outlet port, wherein the dividing wall extends from the downstream side of the charge air cooling section to a back wall of the second housing section perpendicular to the dividing wall, wherein a portion of the back wall forms a portion of the first outlet port and another portion of the back wall forms a portion of the second outlet port, and the dividing wall comprises a first surface parallel and opposite a second surface of the dividing wall, the first surface and the second surface contacting, respectively, the first fluid flow path and the second fluid flow path; and wherein the upstream portion of the second housing section has an upstream cross-sectional area perpendicular to a flow direction larger than a downstream cross-sectional area of the downstream portion of the second housing section, the downstream cross-sectional area being intermediate the upstream portion and the portion of the second housing section to which the dividing wall extends. |
