Abstract
An integrated air intake system, particularly for the combustion air of an internal-combustion engine, which comprises a plastic housing (10), an air intake manifold, an air filter (21) and at least one additional electric and/or mechanical component. The housing is constructed of a plurality of shells and is formed with a bottom part (37) and a top part (38) divided by a parting plane extending along the intake manifold (23). The air filter is arranged in an unfiltered air chamber in the top part, and a cover (12) on the top part closes off the unfiltered air chamber and secures the air filter therein.
Claims7
An integrated air intake system for combustion air for an internal combustion engine comprising a plastic housing, an air intake manifold, an air filter and at least one other electric or mechanical component, wherein said housing is constructed of multiple shells and comprises a top part and a bottom part divided by a parting plane extending along the intake manifold, said air filter is arranged in an unfiltered air chamber in said top part, and a cover member is attached to said intake system to close off said unfiltered air chamber and secure said air filter in said unfiltered air chamber;
- said air intake system further comprising an intermediate housing part arranged in a welded composite assembly with one of said top and bottom housing parts such that said intermediate housing part and said one of said housing parts together form between them a portion of an intake air guide channel.
An integrated air intake system for combustion air for an internal combustion engine comprising a plastic housings an air intake manifold, an air filter and at least one other electric or mechanical component, wherein said housing is constructed of multiple shells and comprises a top part and a bottom part divided by a parting plane extending along the intake manifold, said air filter is arranged in an unfiltered air chamber in said top part, a cover member is attached to said intake system to close off said unfiltered air chamber and secure said air filter in said unfiltered air chamber, and a resonance system is arranged in said housing, said resonance system comprising a resonance flap and two air conducting systems, said resonance flap connecting said two air conducting systems.
An integrated air intake system for combustion air for an internal combustion engine comprising a plastic housing, an air intake manifold, an air filter and at least one other electric or mechanical component, wherein said housing is constructed of multiple shells and comprises a top part and a bottom part divided by a parting plane extending along the intake manifold, said air filter is arranged in an unfiltered air chamber in said top part, and a cover member is attached to said intake system to close off said unfiltered air chamber and secure said air filter in said unfiltered air chamber, said integrated air intake system further comprising a turbulence system which comprises a turbulence collector and a plurality of turbulence ducts each leading to a respective intake valve of the internal combustion engine, wherein said turbulence ducts are formed by said top part and said bottom part of said housing and extend substantially parallel to pipes of said intake manifold.
