  • Publication number: 20100037870
    Abstract: An intake manifold configuration is provided for a chargeable internal combustion engine. The intake manifold configuration includes, but is not limited to an intake pipe leading to a turbocharger, an intake manifold leading from the turbocharger to the internal combustion engine, and a first blow-by channel leading from a crankcase of the internal combustion engine to the intake manifold, the first blow-by channel being connected via a valve to the intake manifold, and the intake manifold configuration comprising a second blow-by channel, which runs from the first blow-by channel to the intake pipe. In this way, on the one hand, a more compact construction of the internal combustion engine is made possible and, on the other hand, the susceptibility to frost is minimized and thus sufficient crankcase ventilation is ensured.
