Abstract
A power train system includes a heat exchanger reservoir to collect condensate, a layered intake manifold, and integral tubing leading from the reservoir to an interior of the intake manifold via an intake manifold wall such that there is no seal between the condensate port and the manifold. The tubing splits into at least two branches transitioning into a set of wings containing a plurality of nozzles protruding into the interior.
