VEHICLE AIR INDUCTION SYSTEM

摘要

This invention is an air induction system that enables an enhanced flow of temperature-controlled, magnetically influenced forced air to the air intake of internal combustion, turbine-type, and other engines having an air intake manifold (15). An interior air inlet (35) is positioned in communication with a passenger compartment (55) of the vehicle. Additionally, or alternatively, a plenum outlet (20) is positioned in an HVAC plenum (25) of the vehicle. An air supply duct (30) extends between the interior air inlet (35) and/or the plenum outlet (20) and the air intake manifold (15) supplies conditioned air to the air intake manifold (15). Performance may be enhanced with the positioning of magnets (50) and/or an air diverter valve (40) into the system. As a result of the enhanced flow of magnetically influenced air and the more steady state of the temperature of the inducted air, fuel consumption and air emissions levels are reduced.
