Abstract
A device for supplying vapor to the intake air which is supplied to an internal combustion engine is described. The device has a moistening means which is formed as horizontal container which is flown through by the intake air and by a liquid to be evaporated in cross flow and/or parallel flow. The device has an especially flat construction due to the design of the moistening means as horizontal container. The cross flow and/or parallel flow principle in the moistening means assures a good efficiency with respect to the generation of vapor.
