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: 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.

Abstract: Heat exchange assembly for vehicles, comprising a condenser and a plate subcooler, and an accumulator having an accumulator inlet and an accumulator outlet. The condenser and the subcooler are connected to one another in such a way as to form a single pack of plates. The accumulator is defined by a plurality of through apertures formed through the plates, and aligned with one another. In the accumulator, a filter is arranged, comprising a cage support and a filtering medium arranged on the cage support. The cage support has a first end provided with a sealing lip formation adapted to elastically engage the edges of the through apertures defining the accumulator, and a second end provided with a spacer adapted to engage a bottom of the accumulator so as to set the position of the sealing formation between the accumulator inlet and the accumulator outlet.
