An engine includes a combustion chamber, a cylinder head, an intake valve, a partition wall plate, and a tumble valve. The cylinder head includes an intake port that communicates with the combustion chamber. The intake valve includes a head configured to open and close an open end of the intake port. The partition wall plate partitions the intake port into first and second passages. The tumble valve is configured to open and close either one of the first passage and the second passage. A cross sectional shape of the partition wall plate is defined on a basis of a shape of a gap that is surrounded by a contour of the head and a contour of the open end, as viewed in a reference direction. The reference direction is a direction from a reference point in the intake port to a gap between the open end and the head.

A muffler for a filter system has a base body with an inlet opening. A fluid guiding rib is externally arranged on the base body so as to guide a fluid to be filtered by the filter system toward the inlet opening of the base body. The fluid guiding rib extends along a first flow direction, wherein the fluid to be filtered passes through the base body along the first flow direction. A filter system with a filter housing and a filter element removably received in the filter housing is provided with such a muffler. The muffler is attached to the filter housing.

The invention relates to an intake device for a compressor. The intake device comprises a support structure having a plurality of struts which are arranged in the circumferential direction about an axis of the support structure and extend in the radial direction. Furthermore, the intake device comprises a plurality of first sound-damping elements which are arranged in the radial continuation of the plurality of struts. In addition, the intake device comprises a plurality of second sound-damping elements, each of which is arranged between adjacent first sound-damping elements. The invention furthermore relates to an exhaust-gas turbocharger having the intake device according to the invention, and an internal combustion engine having an exhaust-gas turbocharger of this kind.

A filter muffler includes a front element, a rear element, and a plurality of damping elements arranged between the front element and the rear element, where the damping elements are arranged radially around a central axis of the filter muffler such that a flow channel is formed between adjacent damping elements, where respective outflow-side ends of the damping elements have a diffuser element which has an outflow-side tapering, and where an angle α between two opposite sides of the diffuser element is selected from a range of 1°≤α≤8°.

An acoustic component is provided with a flow channel for a fluid. The flow channel has an inlet pipe and an outlet pipe. A flow channel section is arranged between the inlet pipe and the outlet pipe, wherein the flow channel section has a silencer volume connected in the flow channel section via openings to the flow channel. A flow deflection device is arranged at least in the flow channel section with the silencer volume, wherein the flow deflection device deflects a flow of the fluid in the flow channel section with the silencer volume away from the openings. The openings in the flow channel section are arranged in a sheltered zone of the flow deflection device.

A vehicle shown herein is a side by side utility vehicle having frame configured to effectively transfer various loads throughout the frame as whole. The vehicle may further or alternatively include a routing tray configured to retain various fluid lines of the vehicle, a transmission including a passive duct acoustical attenuation device, a door seal configured to allow the frame to contact the seal at an angle, a modular door actuating mechanism, and/or a modular skid plate.

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.

Disclosed herein is a meta-muffler for reducing broadband noise. The meta-muffler includes: a flow pipe through which a fluid flows; an outer barrel disposed outside the flow pipe to be spaced apart from the flow pipe; and multiple metastructures arranged in a flow direction of the fluid and each comprising an opening opened parallel to the flow direction of the fluid, a resonance chamber disposed between the flow pipe and the outer barrel and communicating with the flow pipe through the opening, and a neck adjustment member extending from the outer barrel toward the flow pipe to be spaced apart from the opening in the flow direction of the fluid. The meta-muffler can increase transmission loss of noise flowing through the flow pipe through maximization of energy loss of sound waves entering the resonance chamber of the metastructure and can effectively attenuate noise over a wide band ranging from low frequencies to high frequencies.

The intake noise reduction device is capable of suppressing hindrance to the airflow caused by deformation of a flow-regulating net portion and suppressing a reduction in the airflow amount. A linear portion having a mesh shape constituting a flow-regulating net portion 120 includes a circumferential linear portion 122 that extends circumferentially and, an radial width t1 in the upstream side, with respect to the airflow direction, of the circumferential linear portion 122 is larger than a radial width t2 in the downstream side thereof, and a radially outer surface 122A is constituted by a tapered surface that tapers toward the downstream side.

An intake device is provided with a throttle body having a valve that can rotate relative to a body, and an intake pipe provided downstream of the throttle body and connected to an internal combustion engine, an intake passage of the intake pipe being provided with a flow adjustment part that guides the air supplied from the throttle body in the direction in which the intake passage extends, and the flow adjustment part being provided to an upstream end that is on the throttle body-side in the intake passage and also being provided so as to connect to an inner peripheral surface of the intake passage at a position of non-contact when the valve is fully open.
