Abstract
An inlet system for an internal combustion engine is provided and includes a compressor including a rotor, and an air guide arranged to guide an air flow from an air inlet to at least one cylinder of the engine via the compressor. The inlet system also includes at least two fluid sources, and at least two fluid guiding elements each arranged to guide a fluid from a respective of the fluid sources to the air guide, between the air inlet and an outlet of the compressor, that the fluid guiding elements present a first conduit for guiding a fluid from a first of the fluid sources, and a second conduit for guiding a fluid from a second of the fluid sources, and that a restriction of a flow of the fluid from the first fluid source is provided by a downstream end of the first conduit and the rotor, whereby a downstream end of the second conduit is arranged so that a pressure drop provided by the restriction drives fluid through the second conduit towards the downstream end of the second conduit.
