MUMBAI, India, April 17 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202621023354 A) filed by Ve Commercial Vehicles Ltd., Dhar, Madhya Pradesh, on Feb. 27, for 'flywheel assembly for enhanced heat dissipation and resistance to thermal cracking.'
Inventor(s) include Kartik Tajta; Ashish Jain; P. Kumar; Akhilesh Shukla; and Sachin Agarwal.
The application for the patent was published on April 17, under issue no. 16/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "A flywheel assembly (100) for enhanced heat dissipation and resistance to thermal cracking for use in a heavy-duty internal combustion engine is disclosed. Further, the assembly (100) comprising a flywheel body formed from a thermally conductive alloy having metallurgical characteristics selected to increase toughness and thermal fatigue resistance. Further, at least one localized structural modification provided specifically in regions identified as thermal hot zones during engine operation. Further, material selection configured to provide coefficient of thermal expansion compatibility for reducing cyclic thermal stress. Further, the localized structural modification and metallurgical characteristics are determined based on thermal mapping performed using thermal strips (102) applied to the flywheel during vehicle operation and correlated with computer-aided engineering thermal simulation to reduce thermal crack initiation and propagation."
