A supercharger intercooler includes three sequential Anti-Reversion Plenums (ARPs) separated by heat exchangers, in right and left air paths between the supercharger and intake ports. The intercooler resides above and beside the supercharger and has paths for each bank of a V8 engine. An air flow from the supercharger is up and into a first ARP, is split into right and left flows into right and left first heat exchangers, passes into second ARPs and turns down, flows though right and left second heat exchangers into third ARPs and then into the engine. Reversion pulses from the engine are reduced by each ARP, increasing air flow into the engine, and reducing pulsations in the air flow, thereby increasing power, improving fuel economy, throttle response, driveability, and reducing emissions.

A method for manufacturing a waterproof felt duct may include (a) laminating a waterproof film on one side of a first nonwoven fabric and laminating a second nonwoven fabric on the waterproof film laminated on the first nonwoven fabric to form a laminated body; (b) forming a waterproof felt base material by thermally adhering the laminated body; (c) cutting the waterproof felt base material into a desired shape; (d) molding a duct while surrounding the waterproof felt base material cut into the desired shape around the external surface of a molding jig having a worm gear shape; (e) heat-treating the molded duct; (f) cooling the heat-treated duct; and (g) ejecting the cooled duct from the molding jig.

Methods and systems are provided for a noise mitigating device for a turbocharger compressor. In one example, the noise mitigating device includes a set of perforated rings arranged in a recirculation passage of a compressor casing treatment. The rings of the set of perforated rings may be oriented so that apertures of one ring are offset from apertures of one or more adjacent rings, forcing air to flow through the apertures via a non-linear path while deflecting at least a portion of sounds waves generated in the compressor.

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.

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 housing includes an inlet chamber and at least one resonator chamber. The inlet chamber is defined by an exterior wall of the inlet housing and at least one in interior wall disposed within the inlet housing. The resonator chamber includes an insulation material, an exterior wall region, and an interior wall wherein the insulation material is disposed between the interior and exterior walls. The interior wall defines at least one aperture and divides the resonator chamber from the inlet chamber. The insulating material is configured to attenuate sound waves.

A turbocharger air intake silencer with adjustable cavity space structures is provided. The turbocharger air intake silencer comprises a silencer connecting flange and a first resonator device. The first resonator device comprises a first silencer sealing plate, a first annular sound absorption cavity body, a first rotary table, a first rotary steering gear and a first valve. A first sound absorption cavity is enclosed by the first silencer sealing plate, the first annular sound absorption cavity body, the first valve and the first rotary table. A first sound absorption cavity inlet pipe is arranged beside the first sound absorption cavity. The first sound absorption cavity and the first sound absorption cavity inlet pipe form a Helmholtz resonator. The first rotary steering gear is mounted on the silencer connecting flange. The rotary steering gear is connected with a first rotary rack.

A supercharger outlet resonator comprises a housing, a first surface comprising a first opening and a housing axis bisecting the first opening, and a second surface comprising a second opening, the second surface located parallel to the first surface. A channel is perpendicular to the housing axis and connects the first opening to the second opening. The channel comprises at least one sidewall. An envelope is fluidly separated from the channel by the at least one sidewall, the envelope at least partially surrounds the channel, and the envelope extends from the first surface to the second surface. The envelope comprises a third opening and at least one second sidewall. A noise-reducing material located on the housing.

A turbocharging assembly is described. The turbocharging assembly includes a compressor having a compressor wheel and a turbine having a turbine wheel. The turbine wheel and the compressor wheel are mounted back-to-back on a shaft. The shaft is coupled to a power converter provided in front of the compressor wheel. Additionally, the turbocharging assembly includes a housing extension encasing the power converter. The housing extension is connected with a compressor housing. The power converter includes a rotor and a stator. The stator is mounted to the housing extension. Further, the turbocharging assembly includes a filter silencer arranged between the compressor and the power converter. Yet further, the turbocharging assembly includes a blower mounted to the shaft. The blower is arranged at a side of the power converter facing away from the compressor.

In an air cleaner, an air cleaner case having an upper opening which opens upward is formed. The air cleaner case is formed of a front wall, a rear fender, and right and left side covers. The upper opening is closed by a seat. A sound absorbing member is bonded to a bottom plate of the seat and housed in an air cleaner space. The intake noise in the air cleaner is absorbed by the sound absorbing member.
