CHARGE AIR COOLER, AND INTAKE MANIFOLD INCLUDING THE SAME

摘要

An air intake manifold for an engine includes an air inlet to receive a flow of compressed charge air, and multiple runners to deliver cooled compressed charge air to corresponding combustion cylinders of the engine. A charge air cooler is arranged within the intake manifold between the air inlet and the runners, and includes a first core section and a second core section. The first and second core sections are arranged fluidly in parallel with respect to the flow of compressed charge air, so that the charge air is divided into a first portion that is substantially directed through the first core section to a first subset of the runners, and a second portion that is substantially directed through the second core section to a second subset of the runners.

1. An air intake manifold for an engine, comprising:
an air inlet to receive a flow of compressed charge air; a plurality of runners to deliver cooled compressed charge air to a corresponding plurality of combustion cylinders of the engine; and a charge air cooler arranged within the intake manifold between the air inlet and the runners, the charge air cooler comprising a first core section, a second core section, a coolant inlet manifold, and a coolant outlet manifold, the coolant inlet manifold and the coolant outlet manifold arranged between the first and second core sections, the first and second core sections arranged fluidly in parallel with respect to the flow of compressed charge air to divide the flow of compressed charge air into a first portion substantially directed through the first core section to a first subset of the plurality of runners, and a second portion substantially directed through the second core section to a second subset of the plurality of runners.
