<p>An arrangement of the air induction system in a supercharged internal combustion engine whereby the compressed air is cooled prior to introduction into the inlet manifold (9) of the engine. The arrangement provides a turbine (20) driven by a proportion of the exhaust gas from the engine, the turbine (20) driving a compressor (21) whereby a first air stream is compressed, the first air stream thereafter being passed through an expansion device (22, 17) to a heat exchange device (7) through which a second compressed air stream passes prior to introduction into the inlet manifold (9) of the engine, the heat exchange device (7) thereby acting to cool the second compressed air stream.</p> |
