Abstract: Intake system for a supercharged internal combustion engine, comprising an intake duct with a cooling line comprising a high temperature cooler and a lower temperature cooler arranged in series along the intake duct, and a by-pass branch arranged in parallel with the low temperature cooler, and a heating line with a heater. The heating line is arranged in parallel with the cooling line. The intake system is configured so that it may be modulated between a heating mode, where the gaseous intake fluid is heated through the heater, and a cooling mode, where the gaseous intake fluid is cooled through at least one of the high temperature cooler and the low temperature cooler.

Abstract: Cooling apparatus for a supercharged internal combustion engine, comprising a circuit provided with a pump for circulating a cooling fluid between the internal combustion engine and a cooling radiator which exchanges heat with external atmospheric air; the cooling radiator has a main outlet connected to a suction side of the pump. The apparatus further comprises a conduit for cooling a gaseous intake fluid for the engine, the conduit comprising a low temperature radiator which exchanges heat with external atmospheric air, and which is connected to a secondary outlet of the cooling radiator, this outlet being different from the main outlet, and a cooler which cools the gaseous intake fluid by means of a heat exchange with the cooling fluid, connected to an outlet of the low temperature radiator, an outlet of the cooler being connected to a suction side of the pump, downstream of the main outlet of the cooling radiator.

Abstract: An intake system for a turbocharged internal combustion engine and a method for controlling warm-up of a turbocharged internal combustion engine are provided. The intake system includes an intake manifold defining a plenum chamber connectable to a plurality of engine cylinders, an intake duct opening into the plenum chamber and supplying a gaseous fluid thereto, an electric heater provided for heating the gaseous fluid, and a cooler supplied with a cooling fluid, provided for cooling the gaseous fluid. The heater and the cooler cooperate to form a conditioning module positioned within the plenum chamber in such a way as to intercept at least a substantial part of the gaseous fluid entering the plenum chamber from the intake duct, wherein the cooler is arranged in series with the heater.
