Abstract
An internal combustion engine has a compressor in its intake passage and an exhaust turbine driven by exhaust gases, the turbine driving the compressor. A charge pipe downstream from the compressor charges a plenum chamber and the output from the plenum chamber passes through an intake pipe equipped with a throttle valve. The cross section area of the charge pipe is less than that of the maximum opening through the throttle valve. A branch pipe connects the charge pipe to a resonance chamber and the cross section area of the branch pipe is equal to or greater than the restricted cross section area of the charge pipe, with the result that surging of the compressor is minimized.
