This air distributor (1) has an exterior casing defining an interior volume, an air inlet (4) opening into this interior volume, several air outlets (4) intended to convey air from the interior volume towards the cylinders of an engine, and a heat exchanger (8) arranged in the interior volume. The heat exchanger (8) comprises a stack of plates (10) of plastic material where adjacent plates (10) are arranged so as to define a set of intermediate spaces comprising closed intermediate spaces (12) in fluid communication to enable circulation of fluid through the stack of plates (10), and open intermediate spaces (14) configured to enable a passage of air through the stack of plates (10) from the air inlet (4) to the air outlets (6).
An air distributor having an outer enclosure delimiting an interior volume, an air inlet opening into this interior volume, and several air outlets intended to conduct air from the interior volume to the cylinders of an engine, wherein the air distributor comprises a heat exchanger arranged in the interior volume, the heat exchanger comprising a stack of plates made of plastic material, where the adjacent plates of the stack of plates are arranged so as to delimit a set of intermediate spaces, the set of intermediate spaces comprising closed intermediate spaces that are fluidically connected together to allow a circulation of fluid through the stack of plates, and open intermediate spaces that are configured to allow an air passage through the stack of plates from the air inlet to the air outlets of the distributor.
