WATER SEPARATOR FOR AIR INTAKE SYSTEMS OF INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINES

摘要

The invention describes a water separator (2) for air intake system (1) of internal combustion engines. The air intake system (1) operating under negative pressure and comprising an untreated air suction duct (D) presenting a curve (C) to direct the suctioned air stream from a suction point (S) to the adjoining water separator (2). The water separator (2) consists of an outer duct (3) and an inner duct (4), the inner duct (4) being concentric to and projecting into the outer duct (3), wherein the water separator (2) is positioned substantially in vertical direction and presents between the inner duct (4) and the end of the outer duct (3) an annular gap (G) for the water outlet. The water separator (2) of the present invention operates continuously without a discharge valve and with minimal pressure loss.
