Abstract: A conduit for transferring fluid from one location to another. The conduit includes a tube having an outer surface and an insulation layer surrounding the tube. A heating layer is disposed between the insulation layer and the tube, such that the heating layer is wrapped around the outer surface of the tube. The conduit includes a reinforcement layer sandwiched between the insulation layer and the heating layer.

Abstract: A fluid supply system for a machine such as an internal combustion engine includes a shutoff valve having an electrical actuator that includes a solenoid subassembly, and a stabilizer for the electrical valve actuator. The stabilizer includes a fitting structured to couple the shutoff valve to adjacent hardware in the fluid supply system, and a strongarm extending between the fitting and the solenoid assembly and clamped to the solenoid subassembly. A vibration-damping reinforced grommet may be clamped between the solenoid subassembly and the clamp.

Abstract: An internal combustion engine includes a crankcase having first and second pluralities of openings. A oil separation module has at least one inlet housing that communicates with a oil separation filter and is connectable to at least one opening from the first plurality of openings or from the second plurality of openings to define a crankcase vent.

Abstract: Air valves, such as wastegates, utilize a shaft that rotates within a bushing system. Conventional deposition processes limit the thickness of the wear material between the shaft and bushing system. Accordingly, embodiments disclosed herein utilize one or more coating sleeves that are press-fit onto the shaft. This enables a thicker layer of wear material to be applied to the shaft, thereby improving the longevity and durability of the air valve, while also simplifying the manufacturing process. Embodiments may also utilize one or more anti-rotation features, such as a dowel or axial protrusion, and/or may utilize snap ring(s) to prevent axial sliding of the coating sleeve(s).
