Abstract
An angle duct for connecting, through a curved elbow section, a turbocharged engine charge cooler with oblong ends with a turbocompressor outlet or a manifold inlet having compact cross sections. The duct has tapered diffusing or expanding end sections enlarged in cross section and increasingly oblong toward the cooler joined by the flattened elbow section having constant or similarly increasing cross section. The combination in an engine induction system combines efficient flow diffusion and/or expansion together with low loss flow through the elbow and good distribution of fluid flow over the charge cooler inlet area.
