Abstract
Device for air intake of a heat engine including: —a main circulation system (105) which connects a supercharging apparatus (106) or an air intake manifold (107) which incorporates a heat exchanger (108), —a bypass system (109) linked to the main circulation system along the exchanger, the bypass system incorporating a heating apparatus (29), —a circuit selection device mounted between the main circulation system and the bypass system to channel at least some of the air into one or the other system.
Claims5
An air intake device for a heat engine, comprising:
- a main circuit which connects a supercharger to an intake manifold and which incorporates a heat exchanger,
- a bypass circuit connected to the main circuit on each side of the heat exchanger,
- a circuit selection member mounted between the main circuit and the bypass circuit in order to direct at least a portion of air one of the main circuit and the bypass circuit,
- wherein the bypass circuit incorporates a heating member.
5 The device as claimed in claim 2, in which the first and second pipes open into a third pipe and wherein the first pipe is provided with a first shutter and the second pipe is provided with a second shutter, wherein the first and second shutters are connected to drive means designed to move the first and second shutters between positions for opening and closing the first and second pipes.
