Abstract
Disclosed is an intake pipe for a combustion engine, comprising a housing (1) with a supply duct (2) for especially compressed air, a heat exchanger (8) which is disposed within a main duct (4) in the housing (1) and through which the air can flow in order to exchange heat with a fluid, and a bypass duct (5) that is separated from the main duct (4) in at least some sections and is fitted with at least one positioning element (7) to allow the fed air to adjustably bypass the heat exchanger (8). An end of the bypass duct (5) on the engine side is placed at a still flow-relevant short distance from an opening (11) of an intake valve (10) of the combustion engine.

An intake pipe for a combustion engine, comprising
- a housing (1) having a feed (2) for compressed air, in particular,
- a heat exchanger (8), which is arranged within a main duct (4) in the housing (1) and through which the air can flow for heat exchange with a fluid, and
- a bypass duct (5), which is separated from the main duct (4) at least sectionwise and has at least one control element (7) to enable the air fed in to bypass the heat exchanger (8) in an adjustable manner,
- wherein
- an engine-side end of the bypass duct (5) is at a short distance from an opening (11) of an inlet valve (10) of the combustion engine, which distance is still relevant to the flow.
