Abstract
In an arrangement having an air-mass meter for an internal combustion engine, the measurement place of the air-mass meter is arranged within a flow channel which has at least one curved section and one straight section and connects the interior of an air filter with a hollow space connected to the intake opening of the internal combustion engine; the measurement place is arranged in the straight portion of the flow channel. The arrangement of the invention permits a compact construction and, due to its long flow channel, a high degree of precision of the measurement of the mass of air.
