Abstract: A charge air cooler comprises an outlet tank having a drain mechanism integrated in a wall thereof. The drain mechanism comprises a first valve head disposed to a first side of the wall, a first spring member disposed between the first valve head and the wall, a second valve head disposed to a second side of the wall, a second spring member disposed between the second valve head and the wall, and a valve stem coupled to each of the first valve head and the second valve head. The valve stem is reciprocatingly disposed within an aperture formed in the wall. The drain mechanism is configured to be in a closed position when an internal pressure within the outlet tank is at least one of greater than a first pressure value and lower than a second pressure value.

Abstract: A charge air cooler for use with a turbocharged engine system of a motor vehicle includes an outlet tank in fluid communication with a heat exchanger core. A condensation separator comprising an array of baffle plates is disposed adjacent a fluid outlet of the outlet tank. The baffle plates are spaced apart from each other and each of the baffle plates includes an alternating pattern of ridges and grooves formed therein to form a tortuous flow channel between adjacent ones of the baffle plates. The tortuous flow channels cause liquid water originating from the heat exchanger core and flowing through the condensation separator to encounter a surface of the baffle plates before exiting the fluid outlet. The baffle plates may be covered with a surface feature adapted to capture or absorb the liquid water, thereby preventing an undesired quantity of liquid water from entering the engine of the motor vehicle.
