Abstract
A product is disclosed for use with a turbocharging system. The product may include a bearing housing configured to house a bearing and having a flange. A shaft may extend through the bearing and a turbine wheel may be connected to one end of the shaft. A turbine housing may be disposed around the turbine wheel and may include an annular wall adapted to mate with the flange of the bearing housing. A cooling plate may comprise a washer shaped body and may be disposed around, and spaced apart from, the bearing housing. The cooling plate may be connected to the turbine housing to transfer heat from the turbine housing and away from the bearing housing.
