A suction system for an internal-combustion engine is provided with at least one container, which can be connected by way of feed pipes with the intake ports of a cylinder head. Openings of the intake ports for charge cycle control are monitored by valves. In the container or in the feed pipes, at least one reflection chamber is provided, which is connected with the interior volume of the container by way of a hole structure. The hole structure is formed by a plurality of openings that are formed in a wall section of the container, and are closed off by a cover fastened to the exterior side of the container wall, providing a reflection chamber which reduces noise in the suction system without adversely affecting air flow in the interior of the suction system.

Suction system for an internal-combustion engine

An air intake system comprises a connection pipe which is arranged between opposing resonance containers. Inside the connection pipe, a swivellable throttle valve is provided which is inserted into the connection pipe by way of an opening in the connection pipe. The opening is closed by a bearing support which is held on the connection pipe by fasteners. The throttle valve and the bearing support form a prefabricated constructional unit.

Air intake system with a throttle valve for a multi-cylinder

Two-bank internal-combustion engine, per cylinder bank air intake system has, per cylinder bank, one resonance container and, centered thereto, has another container. By way of suction pipes, the resonance containers are connected to the cylinders and are provided with connecting pipes among one another, with fresh air entering into one of these. Suction pipe extensions are connected to the other containers, and extend partially in the resonance containers while being aligned at a distance with the inflow funnels of the suction pipes. The combination of the connecting pipes acting as a resonance pipe with the suction pipe extensions acting as a ram pipe causes a mean pressure increase, whereby the torque as well as the power of the internal-combustion engine are increased.
