<p>The invention relates to an arrangement pertaining to internal combustion engines (1) that include a supercharger (6) and an intermediate cooler (13) mounted in a casing (4). The intermediate cooler includes tubular elements (14, 15) through which coolant flows for cooling the combustion air compressed by the supercharger (6). Conventional arrangements of this kind take up a significant amount of space, which is difficult to find in a typically crowded engine space, and also result in undesirable heating of the engine space. A significant improvement has been achieved in these respects by means of the present invention, which is characterised in that the tubular elements (14, 15) are housed in a cylindrical housing (16, 17) which includes longitudinally extending slots (20, 21) and which forms in the casing (4) a partition wall which is broken by said slots (20, 21) through which the compressed combustion air is intended to pass into and out from the spaces between the tubular elements (14, 15) and the housing.</p> |
