Estimating the term…
Fuel supply devices for an engine are disposed within an intake duct located upstream of an air cleaner. Thus, the fuel supply devices such as fuel injection valves and a fuel supply pipe are always cooled by intake air flow while the engine is being driven. In addition, heat conducted from the engine to the fuel supply device can be insulated by the intake duct when the engine is stopped. Further, since the intake duct located upstream of the air cleaner does not dispose functional parts such as a filter therein, a high degree of freedom for mounting the intake duct on the engine is maintained so that the intake duct can be easily disposed at the position where the fuel supply devices are located.
An air intake system which reduces the temperature of combustion fuel supply devices while also supplying combustion air to an internal combustion engine, said system comprising:
An intake system for introducing intake air into an internal combustion engine, said system comprising:
An intake duct forming an air passage for introducing intake air into an internal combustion engine, said intake duct being disposed upstream of an air cleaner for filtering air flowing from said intake duct, said intake duct comprising:
A method for reducing the temperature of combustion fuel supply devices while also supplying combustion air to an internal combustion engine, said method comprising:
