Abstract

A turbine bypass housing is provided. The housing includes a body having an inlet end and an outlet end and defining an interior, an outlet flange is configured at the outlet end and has a rim diameter, and an inlet flange is configured at the inlet end and has a flange thickness. An interior wall of the body has a first fillet radius proximal to the inlet flange and at least one boss is configured on an exterior of the body, wherein the boss defines a boss aperture therein, the boss aperture extending from an exterior of the body to the interior of the body. The flange thickness is 0.200±0.005 inches (0.508±0.013 cm).

Claims (38)

1. A turbine bypass housing comprising:

A body having an inlet end and an outlet end and defining an interior;

an outlet flange is configured at the outlet end and has a rim diameter;

an inlet flange is configured at the inlet end and has a flange thickness;

an interior wall of the body has a first fillet radius proximal to the inlet flange;

at least one boss is configured on an exterior of the body, wherein the boss defines a boss aperture therein, the boss aperture extending from an exterior of the body to the interior of the body,

wherein the flange thickness is 0.200±0.005 inches.

2. The bypass housing of claim 1 , wherein the body has a general wall thickness of 0.095±0.020 inches.

3. The bypass housing of claim 1 , wherein the first fillet radius is 0.250±0.030 inches.

4. The bypass housing of claim 1 , wherein the body includes a general fillet radius, and wherein a ratio between the first fillet radius and the general fillet radius is 1.330.

5. The bypass housing of claim 1 , wherein the body has an interior radial length, and the at least one boss defines a boss radial length, wherein a ratio of the boss radial length to the interior radial length is 1.176.

6. The bypass housing of claim 5 , wherein the interior radial length is 4.890±0.045 inches.

7. The bypass housing of claim 1 , wherein the boss aperture has a diameter of 0.080±0.005 inches.

8. The bypass housing of claim 1 , wherein the boss aperture has a diameter, and wherein a ratio of the boss aperture diameter to the rim diameter is 0.012.

9. A turbine bypass housing comprising:

a body having an inlet end and an outlet end and defining an interior, the body having a general wall thickness;

an outlet flange is configured at the outlet end and has a rim diameter;

an inlet flange is configured at the inlet end and has a flange thickness;

an interior wall of the body has a first fillet radius proximal to the inlet flange;

at least one boss is configured on an exterior of the body, wherein the boss defines a boss aperture therein, the boss aperture extending from an exterior of the body to the interior of the body,

wherein a ratio of the flange thickness to the general wall thickness is 2.105.

10. The bypass housing of claim 9 , wherein the body has a general wall thickness of 0.095±0.020 inches.

11. The bypass housing of claim 9 , wherein the first fillet radius is 0.250±0.030 inches.

12. The bypass housing of claim 9 , wherein the body includes a general fillet radius, and wherein a ratio between the first fillet radius and the general fillet radius is 1.330.

13. The bypass housing of claim 9 , wherein the body has an interior radial length, and the at least one boss defines a boss radial length, wherein a ratio of the boss radial length to the interior radial length is 1.176.

14. The bypass housing of claim 13 , wherein the interior radial length is 4.890±0.045 inches.

15. The bypass housing of claim 9 , wherein the boss aperture has a diameter of 0.080±0.005 inches.

16. The bypass housing of claim 9 , wherein the boss aperture has a diameter, and wherein a ratio of the boss aperture diameter to the rim diameter is 0.012.

17. A turbine bypass housing comprising:

a body having an inlet end and an outlet end and defining an interior;

an outlet flange is configured at the outlet end and has a rim diameter;

an inlet flange is configured at the inlet end and has a flange thickness;

an interior wall of the body has a first fillet radius proximal to the inlet flange;

at least one boss is configured on an exterior of the body, wherein the boss defines a boss aperture therein, the boss aperture extending from an exterior of the body to the interior of the body,

wherein the body includes a general fillet radius, and wherein a ratio between the first fillet radius and the general fillet radius is 1.330.

18. The bypass housing of claim 17 , wherein the first fillet radius is 0.250±0.030 inches.

19. The bypass housing of claim 17 , wherein the boss aperture has a diameter of 0.080±0.005 inches.

20. The bypass housing of claim 17 , wherein the boss aperture has a diameter, and wherein a ratio of the boss aperture diameter to the rim diameter is 0.012.
