Abstract

An assembly can include a valve seat for an exhaust bypass valve of a serial turbocharger system where the valve seat includes a base portion and a wall portion that extends axially away from the base portion; and a gasket that includes a planar portion that defines a perimeter and a socket disposed interior to the perimeter, where the socket includes a valve seat surface axially recessed from the planar portion and configured to position the seat. In various examples, the valve seat is positioned in the socket of the gasket and fixed to the gasket. Various other examples of devices, assemblies, systems, methods, etc., are also disclosed.

Claims (35)

1. An assembly comprising:

a valve seat of an exhaust bypass valve of an exhaust turbocharger turbine bypass in a serial turbocharger system for an internal combustion engine,

wherein the valve seat comprises a base portion and a wall portion that extends axially away from the base portion; and

a gasket that comprises a planar portion that defines a perimeter and a socket disposed interior to the perimeter, wherein the socket comprises a valve seat surface axially recessed from the planar portion and configured to position the valve seat,

wherein the valve seat surface of the gasket comprises a lip and a shoulder.

2. The assembly of claim 1 wherein the lip comprises a curled lip.

3. The assembly of claim 1 wherein the valve seat is positioned in the socket and fixed to the gasket.

4. An assembly comprising:

a valve seat of an exhaust bypass valve of an exhaust turbocharger turbine bypass in a serial turbocharger system for an internal combustion engine,

wherein the valve seat comprises a base portion and a wall portion that extends axially away from the base portion; and

a gasket that comprises a planar portion that defines a perimeter and a socket disposed interior to the perimeter, wherein the socket comprises a valve seat surface axially recessed from the planar portion and configured to position the valve seat wherein the valve seat comprises a valve seat thickness and wherein the gasket comprises a gasket thickness wherein the valve seat thickness exceeds the gasket thickness.

5. The assembly of claim 4 wherein the valve seat is positioned in the socket and fixed to the gasket.

6. An assembly comprising:

a valve seat of an exhaust bypass valve of an exhaust turbocharger turbine bypass in a serial turbocharger system for an internal combustion engine,

wherein the valve seat comprises a base portion and a wall portion that extends axially away from the base portion; and

a gasket that comprises a planar portion that defines a perimeter and a socket disposed interior to the perimeter, wherein the socket comprises a valve seat surface axially recessed from the planar portion and configured to position the valve seat,

wherein the valve seat comprises an outer radius associated with the base portion and an inner radius associated with the wall portion.

7. The assembly of claim 6 wherein the valve seat is positioned in the socket and fixed to the gasket.

8. The assembly of claim 6 wherein the valve seat is positioned in the socket and welded to the gasket.

9. The assembly of claim 6 wherein the valve seat surface of the gasket comprises a lip and a shoulder.

10. The assembly of claim 9 wherein the lip comprises a curled lip.

11. The assembly of claim 6 wherein the valve seat comprises a valve seat thickness and wherein the gasket comprises a gasket thickness wherein the valve seat thickness exceeds the gasket thickness.

12. The assembly of claim 6 wherein the valve seat comprises nickel and chromium.

13. The assembly of claim 6 further comprising a component that comprises a recess configured to accommodate the valve seat as disposed in the socket of the gasket.

14. The assembly of claim 6 further comprising the exhaust bypass valve wherein a face of the exhaust bypass valve seats against the valve seat for a closed orientation of the exhaust bypass valve.

15. The assembly of claim 14 further comprising a housing configured to house the exhaust bypass valve wherein the housing comprises a perimeter that matches the perimeter of the gasket.

16. The assembly of claim 6 further comprising:

the exhaust bypass valve wherein the exhaust bypass valve comprises an arm and a poppet;

a housing that comprises an exhaust chamber configured to house the exhaust bypass valve; and

a component configured for attachment to the housing wherein the component comprises an exhaust passage configured for receipt of internal combustion engine exhaust;

wherein the gasket positions the valve seat with respect to the poppet for an orientation of the exhaust bypass valve that seals the exhaust chamber from the exhaust passage.

17. The assembly of claim 16 wherein the housing comprises a passage to direct exhaust from the exhaust chamber to an inlet of a volute.

18. The assembly of claim 17 wherein the housing comprises a wastegate opening configured to divert exhaust from the passage.

19. The assembly of claim 17 wherein the housing defines the volute.

20. The assembly of claim 16 wherein the component comprises a recess configured to accommodate the valve seat as disposed in a socket of the gasket.
