The invention relates to an arrangement pertaining to internal combustion engines (1) that include a supercharger (6) and an intermediate cooler (13) mounted in a casing (4). The intermediate cooler includes tubular elements (14, 15) through which coolant flows for cooling the combustion air compressed by the supercharger (6). Conventional arrangements of this kind take up a significant amount of space, which is difficult to find in a typically crowded engine space, and also result in undesirable heating of the engine space. A significant improvement has been achieved in these respects by means of the present invention, which is characterized in that the tubular elements (14, 15) are housed in a cylindrical housing (16, 17) which includes longitudinally extending slots (20, 21) and which forms in the casing (4) a partition wall which is broken by said slots (20, 21) through which the compressed combustion air is intended to pass into and out from the spaces between the tubular elements (14, 15) and the housing.
An arrangement pertaining to an internal combustion engine (1) that includes a supercharger (6) for compression of combustion air delivered to said engine, and a cooling means (13) for cooling the compressed combustion air by means of a heat exchanger that includes tubular elements (14, 15) through which a coolant flows and which are contacted externally by the compressed combustion air, wherein engine cylinder induction ports (2) are connected directly to outlet openings (3) allocated to respective induction ports, wherein said outlet openings (3) are formed in a casing (4) which communicates with the supercharger (6) and which forms a distribution chamber (5) for the compressed combustion air and in which the tubular elements ( 14, 15) in said heat exchanger are mounted in front of at least the major part of the outlet openings (3), wherewith the compressed combustion air flows transversely to the outlet openings (3), characterised in that the tubular elements (14, 15) of the heat exchanger are housed in a cylindrical housing (16, 17) that includes longitudinally extending slots (20, 21) and that forms integral with said casing a partition wall which is broken solely by the slots (20, 21 ) through which the compressed combustion air is intended to pass into the spaces between the tubular elements (14, 15) and the housing and out through said spaces in a direction towards the outlet openings (3) in said casing.
