Claim Text:
1. A diesel engine system, comprising: a diesel engine; and a turbocharger that is mounted with a turbine axis of the turbocharger transverse to a crankshaft axis of the engine; wherein the turbocharger includes a compressor and the engine includes an aftercooler, a compressor outlet of the compressor being connected with the aftercooler by a charge air piping extending from the compressor outlet along a first line angled with reference to the crankshaft axis in a first plane orthogonal to the turbine axis, then along a second line angled with reference to the turbine axis in a second plane orthogonal to the crankshaft axis, and then along a third line parallel to the crankshaft axis and ending at an intake air manifold of the aftercooler; wherein the charge air piping includes a first portion that connects to the compressor outlet, an expansion portion that extends orthogonal from the first portion, and a third portion that extends orthogonal from the expansion portion to the aftercooler; and wherein the third portion of the charge air piping includes a second flange that is secured to the expansion portion of the charge air piping, a constant flow area second bend disposed in a flow direction from the second flange, a flared oblong piece disposed in the flow direction from the second bend, and a discharge flange attaching the flared oblong piece to the aftercooler.
