Mass Air Flow Sensor Adaptor

View page
US Patent:
20090241683, Oct 1, 2009
Filed:
Mar 28, 2008
Appl. No.:
12/057772
Inventors:
Andrew P. Perr - Columbus IN, US
Yongquan Chai - Columbus IN, US
Assignee:
Cummins, Inc. - Indianapolis IN
International Classification:
G01F 1/00
F02M 35/10
US Classification:
73861, 123391, 73198, 12318453
Abstract:
Mass air flow sensing for internal combustion engines. In one aspect, a sensor adaptor for use in an internal combustion engine includes an inlet housing including an approximately 90-degree elbow and directing air within the inlet housing to the internal combustion engine in an airflow direction. A mass air flow sensor is coupled to the housing at a location after the 90-degree elbow with respect to the airflow direction and senses the air flowing within the inlet housing.

Replaceable Cylinder Liner With Improved Cooling

View page
US Patent:
61161985, Sep 12, 2000
Filed:
Jul 21, 1997
Appl. No.:
8/897912
Inventors:
Daniel E. Kirtley - Columbus IN
Carol L. Corbeels - Columbus IN
Andrew P. Perr - Columbus IN
Abby J. Dawkins - San Jose CA
Kristopher R. Bare - Columbus IN
Assignee:
Cummins Engine Company, Inc. - Columbus IN
International Classification:
F02F 116
US Classification:
123 4184
Abstract:
A replaceable cylinder liner for an internal combustion engine. The position of the liner within the block is established by a midstop. An interference fit below the midstop seals the bottom end of a cooling passage that extends around the liner. The top end of the cooling passage is sealed by an o-ring, and when the engine is warmed up by an interference fit also. The top of the cooling passage is close to the top dead center position of the top piston ring, and reduces the temperature of the top piston ring.

Dedicated Overhead Cam Shaft For Unit Injector

View page
US Patent:
59750600, Nov 2, 1999
Filed:
Jan 20, 1998
Appl. No.:
9/008808
Inventors:
Thomas R. Stover - Columbus IN
Andrew P. Perr - Columbus IN
Assignee:
Cummins Engine Company, Inc. - Columbus IN
International Classification:
F02M 3704
US Classification:
123508
Abstract:
The present invention provides an internal combustion engine drive train actuating assembly which includes a dual overhead cam shaft arrangement wherein a pair of cam shafts is supported in the head section of the engine. One cam shaft is positioned to actuate the intake and exhaust valves. The other cam shaft is dedicated to actuating only the unit fuel injectors and is positioned relative to the injector actuating rocker levers to contact only these rocker levers during engine operation. The rocker lever-contacting lobes on the dedicated injector-actuating cam shaft are dimensionally wider than has heretofore been possible, which allows the high fuel injection pressures required to achieve optimum fuel economy and emissions while minimizing hertz stresses on the cam shaft.
