A two-way thermo-mechanical shield assembly for a sensor of a heat-producing apparatus having an apparatus housing includes a first shield and a second shield. Each shield is configured to be mounted to the apparatus housing and are together configured to encase the sensor. The first shield is configured to protect the sensor from thermal energy originating internal to the apparatus housing, while the second shield is configured to protect the sensor from physical impact and thermal energy originating external to the apparatus housing.

Two-way thermo-mechanical sensor shield

A thermo-structural spacer is provided. The spacer includes a cylindrical center portion, a first flange connected to a first end of the cylindrical center portion, a second flange connected to a second end of the cylindrical center portion. The second end is distal from the first end. The spacer further includes an annular inner wall configured for providing a through hole extending through a longitudinal axis of the thermo-structural spacer. The cylindrical center portion is narrower than the first flange. The cylindrical center portion is narrower than the second flange. The thermo-structural spacer is configured for restricting heat transfer between the first flange and the second flange.

System including a thermo-structural spacer for air inlet and compressor interface

The present disclosure provides a cylinder block for an internal combustion engine having a first cylinder, a first cylinder sleeve, a second cylinder, and a second cylinder sleeve. The first cylinder defines a first cylindrical wall while the second cylinder defines a second cylindrical wall. The first cylinder sleeve lines the first cylindrical wall while the second cylinder sleeve lines the second cylindrical wall. Each of the first and the second cylinder sleeves define a thrust sleeve region, an anti-thrust sleeve region opposite the thrust sleeve region, and a pair of Siamese regions. The outer wall of each of the first and second cylinder sleeves progressively widens toward the top sleeve surface of each of the first and second cylinder sleeves.
