Abstract
An air pipe for an intake tract of an internal combustion engine may include at least one air channel for guiding a through-flow of air to at least one compressor arranged downstream thereof. An air guiding device may be arranged to influence a forward flow of air running in a direction towards the at least one compressor and facilitate reducing turbulences of the air flow.
Claims20
An air pipe for an intake tract of an internal combustion engine, comprising:
- at least one channel for guiding a through-flow of air to at least one compressor for compressing air arranged downstream thereof;
- and
- an air guiding device arranged to influence a forward flow of air running in a direction towards the at least one compressor and facilitate reducing turbulences of the forward flow of air.
An intake tract of for supplying air to an internal combustion engine, comprising:
- an air pipe;
- a compressor fluidly connected to an outlet side of the air pipe;
- the air pipe including:
- at least one channel for guiding a through-flow of air to the compressor arranged downstream of the air pipe;
- and
- an air guiding device arranged to influence a forward flow of air running in a direction towards the compressor and facilitate reducing turbulences of the forward flow of air.
An air pipe for an intake tract of an internal combustion engine, comprising:
- a pipe body defining at least one channel for guiding a through-flow of air to an air compressor arranged downstream thereof, the pipe body including a wall at least partially defining the at least one channel;
- an air guiding device arranged to influence a forward flow of air running in a direction towards the compressor and facilitate reducing turbulences of the forward flow of air, the air guiding device including a plurality of guiding fins projecting inwards from the wall;
- and
- wherein the plurality of guiding fins are arranged spaced apart from one another along the wall in a circumferential direction of the pipe body.
