Air intake arrangement an internal combustion engine

摘要

An air intake apparatus for supplying air to an internal combustion engine (1) comprises a hollow enclosure (50), housing an air filter (9) and an air compressor (10) which when activated compresses air supplied to the engine (1). An engine air supply path through the enclosure (50) passes from an air inlet (52) to the enclosure to an air outlet (54) from the enclosure via the air filter (9). The enclosure (50) housing is subdivided by a dividing plate (74) which holds the air filter (9) upstream of the air compressor (10). The dividing plate (74) also has an air inlet feature (126) to allow air to enter an inlet (98) to the air compressor (10) after the air has passed through the air filter (74).
