Condensation trap for charge air cooler

摘要

Various systems and methods are described for a charge air cooler coupled to an engine. One example method comprises collecting condensate discharged from the cooler in a condensation trap coupled to an outside surface of a bend in an outlet duct of the cooler; during a first condition, temporarily storing the condensate in a reservoir of the condensation trap; and, during first and second conditions, releasing the condensate to the outlet duct in a direction of airflow via a tube.

主权项

1. A system comprising:
an outlet duct having a bend with an opening in the bend; and a condensation trap comprising:
a reservoir coupled to an outside surface of the bend via the opening, the opening disposed to allow condensate from an airflow in the bend to pass through the opening and into the reservoir; anda tube passing through and extending past the opening and disposed to have a first end in the reservoir and a second end extending into the airflow in an airflow direction.
