Abstract
Systems are provided for a combined compressor-cooling unit for an intake system. In one example, the system includes a housing, with a compressor, a liquid cooling system, a filter, and an air intake arranged within the housing such that the filter encases the compressor at least in part.
Claims16
A system, comprising:
- a compressor housing, a compressor, a cooler, and a filter, wherein the cooler is cylindrically shaped and surrounds the compressor within the compressor housing;
- wherein the compressor is electrically driven via an electric motor;
- and
- wherein the cooler directs coolant to the electric motor, and wherein coolant from the electric motor is discharged through an outlet configured to expel the coolant from the compressor housing.
1 more element
An intake system, comprising:
- a housing, a compressor, an electric motor, a cooler, and an air filter integrally arranged therein, wherein the cooler is fluidly coupled to a radiator of an engine coolant system and wherein the air filter, the compressor, and the cooler are concentric about an axis of the housing.
A system, comprising:
- a housing containing a compressor surrounded by a cylindrically shaped cooler, the housing further containing an air filter integrally arranged therein;
- wherein the housing comprises a single inlet, wherein the inlet is configured to direct air to the air filter, wherein air flows to the compressor after flowing through the air filter, and wherein air from the compressor flows through the cylindrically shaped cooler, and through an outlet of the housing toward an engine intake.
