  • Patent number: 7077093
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a fresh gas supply system for an internal combustion engine, in particular of a motor vehicle. A fresh gas distributor can be connected on the inlet side with a fresh gas feed line, and on the outlet side to an internal combustion engine by means of several connection pipes. The connection pipes are allocated in each case to a combustion chamber of the internal combustion engine. An improvement in the fresh gas supply system can be achieved in that a bypass resonator or Helmholtz resonator is connected to the fresh gas distributor, which, at a predetermined revolution speed of the internal combustion engine, improves the fresh gas filling of the combustion chambers by resonance charging.

  • Patent number: 5983870
    Abstract: A process and device are provided to supply the air mass flux required to regenerate the adsorption material of an adsorption filter in the fuel tank venting system of an internal combustion engine while the engine is running and independently of a depression in the air intake pipe of the engine. For this purpose, atmospheric air is fed at least partially and temporarily by an air pump through the adsorption filter to the air intake pipe of the internal combustion engine while the engine is running. The air pump integrated in the device makes it possible to obtain a module which is easy to produce and to handle and which contains all units of the venting system.
