Definitions

  • the opening further includes a seat, wherein the plug is disposed in the seat, and wherein the bypass slot extends to the seat in the outer wall.
  • FIG. 8A the method of creating an extruded multi-chamber manifold 16,18 with internal bypass is shown.
  • An extruded multi-chamber manifold 16,18 with chambers 20 is created with a solid, inner wall 40.
  • An opening 62 including is machined into outer wall 42 using a cutting tool 80.
  • the machined opening 62 first includes a seat 52.
  • a bypass slot 54 is cut out of the inner wall 40 by machining into the inner wall 40 inside each seat 52 using a cutting tool 80.
  • the bypass slot 54 extends to the seat 52.
  • the bypass slot 54 can be a different size than the seat 52.
  • a plug 44 is then inserted into the seat 52 to seal the manifold chambers 20.
  • the plug 44 can be welded into place after insertion.
