CHARGE AIR GUIDE ELEMENT AND WATER RING ELEMENT FOR INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE

摘要

A charge air guide element and a water ring element for an internal combustion engine are configured to supply cooling water to the water ring element via the charge air guide element. A cooling water channel system may be integrated into a wall structure of the charge air guide element and may include at least one opening at the cylinder unit side of the charge air guide element, which opens towards the top side of the charge air guide element, and at least one opening at an access side of the charge air guide element, the access side being opposite to the cylinder unit side. An arrangement of screw guiding holes at the charge air guide element may allow using the charge air guide element for in-line and V-configuration internal combustion engines.
