An air intake duct 8 is fixed to a rear of a cab 3 of a transport vehicle to extend vertically, air intakes 6a, 6b, 6c, 6d, 6e and 6f being opened on an upper portion of the air intake duct for suction of fresh air through the intakes as engine intake air. The air intake duct 8 is constituted by a blow-molded duct body 9 and an internal partition component 10 enclosed in the duct body in blow molding of the duct body 9 to partition an interior of the duct body 9 into a plurality of channels A, B, C, D, E and F reaching the air intakes.

An air intake assembly for a vehicle includes a vehicle-forward air intake inlet, an airflow diverter opening, and a moisture-diverting gutter surrounding a portion of the vehicle-forward air intake inlet. The moisture-diverting gutter may surround at least a top and opposed sides of the vehicle-forward air intake inlet. The assembly further includes an air intake inlet shield which may define a slope. The airflow diverter opening may be positioned below the vehicle-forward air intake inlet.

An internal combustion engine for an outboard motor for driving a vessel has an air guide system acting by way of a covering hood surrounding surfaces of the internal combustion engine and ancillary units. Covering hood inlet and outlet openings permit airflows to move in an interior space of the covering hood, and a fan driven by the internal combustion engine influences the airflows in the covering hood interior space. Airflows enter the interior space of the covering hood via an inlet opening and a first routing arrangement. Assisted by the fan, part of the airflows acts on the surfaces of the internal combustion engine and of the ancillary units. A second routing arrangement routs another portion of the airflows, as intake air, to an engine suction system. Airflows heated by engine and ancillary unit surfaces are conveyed by the fan and a third routing arrangement outside the covering hood.

The present disclosure provides a fuel injection unit for an internal combustion engine. The fuel injection unit includes: a separator that is disposed in an intake port to supplie air into a combustion chamber formed in an engine head, and that divides a channel for air into an upper channel and a lower channel; a blade disposed ahead of the separator and opening or closing the upper channel or the lower channel by rotating; and a first injector disposed over the intake port. In particular, when the first injector injects fuel, the blade does not interfere with the fuel.

A cylinder head for an internal combustion engine is disclosed having an intake port geometry configured to reduce fuel puddling and improve fuel atomization. The cylinder head includes a housing having a recess defining a top portion of a combustion chamber. The cylinder head further includes intake and exhaust ports defined by channels extending from the top portion of the combustion chamber to an outer end of the housing. An intake valve is positioned within the cylinder head to control communication of the intake port with the combustion chamber, and an exhaust valve is positioned within the cylinder head to control communication of the exhaust port with the combustion chamber. The intake port further includes a cross-section having a modified D-shape with a single 90 degree corner. The modified D-shape cross-section extends substantially a length of the intake port.

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.

An intake swirl gasket is disclosed herein. It is installed between a cylinder head and an intake manifold and comprises plural airflow holes for respectively communicating with plural intake passages of the cylinder head; and plural diversion devices respectively disposed in the plural airflow holes and each having an axis and plural splitter blades extended from the axis for connecting to an inner wall of each of the plural airflow holes, wherein each of the plural splitter blades is shaped as an arc to form a recessed surface towards the intake manifold at one side thereof and a convex surface towards the cylinder head at the other side thereof, and wherein an included angle between each of the plural splitter blades and an end face of the intake swirl gasket oriented towards the cylinder head ranges from 50 to 80 degrees.

An article of manufacture for providing an automobile turbocharging fitting is disclosed. A turbo fitting is a funnel shaped device that is attached to an outgoing airflow port of an air filter intake enclosure and secured into an air flow line running to the input to a throttle body of an internal combustion engine. The inner diameter of the turbo fitting is reduced from its width at the air filter enclosure to its exit diameter in the air flow line. Air directional devices, which may be raised tabs or grooves, running the length of the inner surface of the turbo fitting. These air directional devices are oriented in a clockwise direction when viewed into the turbo fitting from the air filter enclosure end.

Methods and systems are provided for introducing a charge motion to a cylinder via a bladder in an intake manifold runner. In one example, a system may include positioning a bladder in an intake port proximate to a cylinder.

An air intake structure for a vehicle engine includes: a variable flap rotatably provided in an intake air passage so as to control a cross-sectional area of intake air flow; a port plate provided to a downstream of the variable flap, and generating displacement in cooperation with the variable flap; a driving unit supplying a driving force for generating displacement of both the variable flap and the port plate; and a controller determining a rotation angle of the variable flap in accordance with an operating range of an engine, and controlling the rotation angle of the variable flap by driving the driving unit.
