Abstract
A charge air line of an internal combustion engine for supplying multiple cylinders of a cylinder bank of the internal combustion engine arranged in-line with charge air, has multiple charge air line sections. Emanating from each charge air line section a branch leads to a cylinder, the branch screwable to a cylinder head of the respective cylinder. The charge air line has an upstream end, via which charge air is feedable to the charge air line, and a downstream end, which is closed by an end cap. At the downstream end, the charge air line has a larger flow cross section than at the downstream end.
Claims10
A charge air line (1) of an internal combustion engine for supplying a plurality of cylinders (2) of a cylinder bank (3) of the internal combustion engine arranged in-line with charge air, the charge air line (1) comprising:
- a plurality of charge air line sections (6), each of the plurality of charge air line sections (6) having, emanating therefrom, a branch (7) that leads to a respective one of the plurality of cylinders (2), the branch (7) being screwable to a cylinder head (4) of the respective one cylinder (2);
- an upstream end (9), via which charge air is feedable to the charge air line (1);
- and
- a downstream end (10) of the charge air line (1), which is closed by an end cap (11),
- wherein the charge air line (1) at the upstream end (9) has a larger flow cross section than at the downstream end (10).
