An intake plenum is for a marine engine, the marine engine having first and second throttle devices for controlling flow of intake air to the marine engine. The intake plenum has an airbox providing an expansion volume, first and second inlets that convey the intake air in parallel to the expansion volume, first and second outlets that convey the intake air in parallel from the expansion volume to the first and second throttle devices, and first and second Helmholtz-style attenuator devices located at the first and second outlets, respectively. Together the first and second inlets, expansion volume, and first and second Helmholtz-style attenuator devices are configured to attenuate different frequencies of sound emanating from the marine engine via the first and second outlets.

An intake system of an engine is provided, including a first passage provided to an engine bay, for leading fresh air to the engine, a second passage branched from a branching part at an intermediate location of the first passage, and extending toward a cabin, and an intake noise increasing device provided to the second passage, and configured to increase intake pressure in response to an intake air pressure wave. The intake noise increasing device has a cylindrical bellows part configured to expand and contract in a cylindrical axis direction, and a vibrating membrane formed integrally with the bellows part to close a first opening of the bellows part. The second passage has an introducing passage section connected to a second opening of the bellows part, and extending toward the branching part, and the introducing passage section is disposed so as to be lowered while separating from the bellows part.

An air intake duct includes a peripheral wall, which is formed by a compressed fiber portion made of a compression molded fiber material. The compressed fiber portion includes high-compression portions having a high compression ratio and low-compression portions having a relatively low compression ratio. The high-compression portions include circumferentially extending sections. Each circumferentially extending section is located in a plane that is perpendicular to an extension direction of the peripheral wall with part of the circumferentially extending section disposed between the low-compression portions. Each circumferentially extending section extends continuously over the entire circumference of the peripheral wall.

An intake noise reduction device that can mitigate deformation of a flow-regulating net portion made of an elastic body. The intake noise reduction device 100 is made of an elastic body that is disposed downstream of a throttle valve and includes an annular gasket portion 110 and a flow-regulating net portion 120 provided inside the gasket portion 110 integrally with the gasket portion 110, constituted by a linear portion having a mesh shape. The linear portion having the mesh shape constituting the flow-regulating net portion 120 includes first linear parts 121 that extend radially and second linear parts 122 that extend circumferentially. One of any given two parts of the first linear part 121 on a radially outer side has a width larger than or equal to that of the other part on a radially inner side, and a radially outermost part of the first linear part has a larger width than a radially innermost part.

A throttle body fuel injection system including a throttle body with at least one air intake, a fuel injector coupled to the throttle body at a fuel port and an annular ring coupled to the cylindrical inner wall of the air intake. The annular ring includes a primary fuel discharge orifice adjacent to the fuel port and a plurality of secondary fuel discharge orifices arranged radially around the annular ring for spraying atomized fuel into the air intake.

An intake sound amplifier amplifies intake sound that is transmitted from an engine mounted in an engine compartment of a vehicle to a cabin. The intake sound amplifier includes a first passage branched from an intake passage, through which intake air is introduced into an engine; a device body that includes a vibrating body vibrated by pulsation of the intake air and is connected to a downstream end of the first passage; and a second passage that is connected to a downstream end of the device body and extends to the cabin side. The device body is located outward in a vehicle width direction of a side frame that extends in a vehicle front-rear direction and separates inside of the engine compartment from outside in the vehicle width direction.

The resonator is configured to attenuate the noise in a duct delimiting an internal channel for the flow of a fluid according to a reference axis, of the type including an annular compartment configured to extend around the channel and provided with at least one orifice forming a neck for communication with the flow channel so as to form a resonance chamber. Accordingly, the compartment has an inner structure with a geometry shaped so as to produce a revolution annular asymmetry of the resonance chamber about the reference axis, adapted to generate a phase shift of an acoustic pressure wave reflected inside the chamber relative to an acoustic pressure wave incident from the main flow.

The invention relates to an exhaust gas turbocharger with a silencer. The silencer comprises a multiplicity of damping elements which are arranged concentrically about a central axis of the silencer and are spaced apart concentrically from one another, with the result that a flow duct is formed in each case between adjacent damping elements. The flow duct has an inlet which is at a greater radial spacing from the central axis than an outlet of the flow duct.

A breather device for an outboard motor engine, the outboard motor engine including a breather chamber formed in an engine main body, and an intake passage guiding air into the engine main body, in which an intake port of the intake passage is open inside an engine cover that covers the engine main body, the breather device includes a resonator chamber communicating with an upstream side of the intake passage, and a breather passage extending from the breather chamber and communicating with the resonator chamber.

Suction muffler (1) for a hermetic refrigeration compressor (2), the suction muffler (1) comprising an inlet (3), so that refrigerant can flow into the suction muffler (1), and an outlet (4), so that refrigerant can flow out from the suction muffler (1), the suction muffler (1) further comprising two damping chambers (5, 6) for sound damping, where the two damping chambers (5, 6) each has a floor (8, 9) and where a wall element (11) is provided, in order to separate the two damping chambers (5, 6) from each other for the refrigerant in the region of their floors (8, 9). In order to guarantee that the damping chambers (5, 6) are overall as gas-tight and sound-tight as possible, it is provided according to the invention that in the region of the wall element (11) at least one siphon segment (16) that connects the two floors is disposed, in order to receive oil (14) in an operating position of the suction muffler (1), where the at least one siphon segment (16) connects the two damping chambers (5, 6) in siphon fashion to each other for the oil (14).
