Abstract
An intake manifold temperature system including an internal combustion engine, an intake manifold connected to the internal combustion engine, an air supply system configured to supply compressed air to the internal combustion engine, an ambient condition sensor, an air system sensor, a manifold condition sensor, and a controller. The air supply system may include a compressor, an air cooler connected downstream of the compressor, a bypass passage connected downstream of the compressor to provide compressed air to the intake manifold, the air having bypassed the air cooler, and an electronically-controlled bypass valve connected downstream of the compressor, the bypass valve configured to control a proportion of air flow through the bypass passage and through the air cooler. The controller may be configured to actuate the bypass valve based on signals and a desired intake manifold temperature.
