Air intake system with reduced water intake |
摘要 |
A novel air intake system which is suitable for at least substantially reducing the inadvertent intake of water with ambient air into an air compressor or other operational component of a fuel cell or internal combustion engine is disclosed. The air intake system typically includes an elongated air flow conduit having a downwardly-angled air inlet arm that is typically fitted with multiple louver elements and a splash shield to deflect entering water downwardly into a drain or gullet chamber. The air intake system typically further includes a mechanism for gravity-mediated draining of water from the air flow conduit to prevent entering water from being drawn into the air compressor or other component. |
