Patent attributes
A turbo assembly may include a coupling member, a heat shield, and a turbo mechanism. The coupling member may include first and second ends and an annular body extending between the first and second ends. The first end may fix the coupling member to an exhaust manifold of an engine and the annular body may define an exhaust gas channel that receives exhaust gas from the exhaust manifold. The annular body may include a coolant passage that receives a coolant fluid. The heat shield may extend axially within the exhaust gas channel and radially between the annular body and an exhaust gas flow within the exhaust gas channel to limit an amount of heat transferred from the exhaust gas to the annular body. The turbo mechanism may include a housing fixed to the second end of the coupling member and in communication with the exhaust gas channel to receive the exhaust gas therefrom.
