ABSTRACT:
A condensate extractor system for an internal combustion engine assembly with a charge air cooler system is provided. The condensate extractor system includes a hose member with a first end in direct fluid communication with the charge air cooler system, and a second end in direct fluid communication with the intake manifold of the engine air intake system. The hose member removes condensate from the charge air cooler system in a continuous manner in response to a pressure gradient created by the throttle body when the engine is in an on-state. The hose member defines an orifice configured to restrict the flow of air and condensate through the hose member. A filter is placed in direct fluid communication with the hose member, upstream from the orifice. The hose member is preferably characterized by a lack of fluid communication with a reservoir configured to collect condensate.
