Title: Waste gate assembly
Inventor: Nikhil B Patil
IPC: F02B37/18
Filed: 2016-11-18
Abstract: A waste gate assembly 6 includes a conduit configured to receive exhaust gas. The waste gate conduit includes a first portion 26 having a first inner diameter D1 and a second portion 28 having a second inner diameter D2 and fluidly coupled to the first portion. The first diameter is less than the second diameter. The waste gate assembly includes a valve 24 operably coupled to the conduit and configured to move between an open position and a closed position.
