A silencing device includes an intake air pipe, a silencer, and a heater. The intake air pipe communicates with a supercharging device configured to supercharge intake air to be sucked into an engine. The intake air pipe is configured to introduce the intake air into the supercharging device. The silencer is disposed in the intake air pipe, and configured to silence air flow noise. The heater is disposed in the intake air pipe, and configured to heat the intake air introduced through the intake air pipe.

An air cleaner for a vehicle includes a case having an air inlet pipe and an air outlet pipe. A cover is removably attached to the case for covering an open top portion of the case. With the cover attached to the case an interior of the air cleaner defines a flow passage directed through the air cleaner from the air inlet pipe to the air outlet pipe. A filter element is received in the interior and is arranged over the flow passage. The flow passage immediately downstream of the filter element includes an elbow-shaped section for redirecting airflow from the filter element toward the air outlet pipe. The elbow-shaped section is provided with at least one first guide rib shaped correspondingly to the elbow-shaped section. The flow passage upstream of the air outlet pipe defines a branching section formed as an acoustic resonator for reducing air intake noise.

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.

A high frequency attenuating device for an air flow induction system of a vehicle employing a thermoformed fibrous mat of any shape that fits robustly inside the duct. The dissipative nature of the fibrous mat helps in achieving broadband attenuation in the high frequency regime. The ability to manufacture the fibrous mat into any shape helps with restriction, targets different attenuation bands, and makes it more feasible to manufacture. Hybrid solutions are possible when combined with low frequency perforated silencers or high frequency QWT arrays injection molded onto them.

A work vehicle includes an engine, an intake passage through which combustion air flows from an ambient air inlet to an engine, an air cleaner for removing dust contained in the combustion air, a throttle valve for adjusting an intake amount of the combustion air by the engine, a blowby gas returning passage for returning blowby gas discharged from the engine to a mid portion of the intake passage, and an inclined passage portion that assumes a progressively downwardly inclined posture to be located at a lower position on downstream side in a flow direction, the inclined passage portion having a water draining portion at its lowermost end.

In an intake manifold, a downstream end of an intake introduction pipe has an intake chamber connected thereto, and a resonator is provided adjacent to a bent section of the intake introduction pipe. A resonance chamber of this resonator communicates with the intake chamber via a path-for-resonance. A bottom section of the resonance chamber representing a downward side in a gravity direction inclines downwardly toward a center in a width direction, and a communicating path is formed to communicate with the bent section of the intake introduction pipe. Condensed water accumulated in the resonator flows to the intake introduction pipe through the communicating path from the bottom section, and flows into a projection projecting downwardly from the bent section. Subsequently, the condensed water is discharged to an internal combustion engine side through a gas introduction pipe by which a blow-by gas is introduced.

An intake duct structure (22) of an engine intake system for an internal combustion engine of a vehicle includes a passage portion (28) internally defining an air passage having an air inlet (22A) located in an upstream end part of the passage portion and an air outlet (22B) located in a downstream end part of the passage portion, and extending above a structural member (40, 11B) of a vehicle body, and a resonator portion (29) depending from the downstream end part of the passage portion and internally defining a resonator chamber (35). The passage portion is provided with a bottom surface (28G) configured to rest on an upper surface of the structural member, and the resonator portion is provided with a vertical surface (29C) opposing a vertical surface of the structural member.

A composite resonator, such as for use in a vehicle air intake system, includes a fiber reinforced contacting a semi-crystalline polymer substrate. The fiber reinforced composite includes a plurality of fibers in a polymer matrix. The composite resonator further includes a particle coating contacting the fiber reinforced composite. The particle coating includes a plurality of particles deposited onto the fiber reinforced composite. In a vehicle air intake system, the composite resonator is connected to the air intake pathway. The vehicle air intake system also includes a turbocharger compressor connected to the air intake pathway.

The present invention relates to a vehicular resonator comprising: an outer pipe that constitutes the exterior thereof; an inner pipe, a part of which is inserted into the outer pipe, and which has a slit formed therein as an air movement passage; a movable pipe configured to be able to move inside a resonation chamber formed between the outer pipe and the inner pipe; and an elastic body having one side thereof coupled to the inner pipe and the other side thereof coupled to the movable pipe, thereby providing the movable pipe with an elastic force such that the movable pipe can move.

A vehicle charge air cooler of a vehicle engine air induction system. The vehicle engine air induction system could also be equipped with a turbocharger or a supercharger located upstream of the vehicle charge air cooler. The vehicle charge air cooler has an inlet housing. The inlet housing includes an inlet chamber and a resonator chamber. The inlet chamber and resonator chamber are partitioned from each other by way of a wall of the inlet housing. One or more additional walls define the inlet chamber and define the resonator chamber. The vehicle charge air cooler further has a heat exchanger.
