Abstract
An air management assembly (10) for use in an engine (12) with an exhaust manifold (14) that outputs an exhaust gas and an intake manifold (16), with a filter (18) in fluid communication between the exhaust manifold (14) and turbocharger (20). The air management assembly (10) provides a compressor (22), a turbine (24), at least one gaseous fluid cooler (32, 36, 44), at least one bypass (28, 28)′ and a housing (30) where the compressor (22), turbine (24), at least one gaseous fluid cooler (32), (36, 44), bypass (28, 28′), or combination thereof are integrated into the housing (30). The compressor (22) is in fluid communication with the intake manifold (16). The turbine (24) is in fluid communication with the exhaust manifold (14). The turbine (24) and the compressor (22) are moveably coupled and move in conjunction with one another. The gaseous fluid coolers (32, 36, 44) are in fluid communication with the compressor (32), turbine (24), or combination thereof. The bypass (28′) is in fluid communication with an output of the turbine (24) and an input of the compressor (22) for selective bypassing of the gaseous fluid cooler (44).
