Intermediate flange system for an internal combustion engine with direct fuel injection

摘要

An intermediate flange system for an internal combustion engine with direct fuel injection. The intermediate flange system is mounted between the intake device and the cylinder head and includes two subunits (10, 11). The first subunit includes a basic body (12) and is responsible for conducting the fuel. The other subunit includes a basic body (13) and serves to conduct the intake air. Both basic bodies can be optimally designed as a function of demands to which they are subjected. Thus, basic body (13) is preferably made of synthetic resin material, and basic body (12) of aluminum. Consequently, the overall intermediate flange system is lighter than prior art systems, which heretofore have been made entirely of aluminum.
