Abstract: An intake manifold includes plural intake pipes, a distribution portion connecting to the plural intake pipes and guiding fluid at an inside of the distribution portion to the plural intake pipes and a first protruding portion providing at least a same number of the plural intake pipes at the inside of the distribution portion, the first protruding portion being directed to the corresponding intake pipes.

Abstract: Provided are an arrangement capable of reliably preventing freeze of a PCV channel without requiring additional piping and an intake manifold having this arrangement. This arrangement for freeze prevention of a PCV channel includes a PCV channel returning blowby gas containing un-combusted fuel gas as a main component thereof and leaked into an engine to an intake port, an EGR channel returning exhaust gas exhausted from the engine to the intake port, and a heating portion as a common portion between a PCV outer wall of the PCV channel and an EGR outer wall of the EGR channel.

Abstract: An intake manifold capable of discharging oil or water in a liquid reservoir in a stable manner includes an introduction section for introducing air to a combustion chamber of an engine, a liquid reservoir provided under the introduction section for retaining a liquid medium, a differential pressure tank including a first chamber, a second chamber, and a differential pressure valve for regulating flow from the second chamber to the first chamber, a return passage for allowing the liquid medium accumulated in the liquid reservoir to return to the first chamber from the liquid reservoir when the pressure in the second chamber is higher than the pressure in the first chamber, and an exhaust passage for discharging the liquid medium having flown into the second chamber from the first chamber to the instruction section when the pressure in the second chamber is lower than the pressure in the first chamber.
