Controlled charge air cooler accumulated water draining method by using throttle-plate delta pressure and metering orifice

A system and method for discharging condensation from an engine system is disclosed. The system includes a drainage pathway from an upstream body that collects water to a downstream portion of the air intake system. A controller may initiate a draining event upon determining a threshold amount of water has been collected in the upstream body.

ENGINE INTAKE SYSTEM

An intake system of an engine mounted on a vehicle where a cabin is air-conditioned by an air conditioner, is provided. A heat exchanger of an evaporator of the air conditioner is divided into a first heat exchanger and a second heat exchanger that are mutually independent, and an air passage includes a first division passage and a second division passage. The intake system cools intake air utilizing a part of the air conditioner, and includes a connecting passage that guides first air cooled by passing through the first heat exchanger, a passage switch, and a controller. When the controller determines that a cooling demand for the intake air exists, it controls the first air to flow into an intake passage through the connecting passage, and when the controller determines that there is no cooling demand, it controls the first air to flow into the first division passage.
