Abstract
Described is a device for moistening the inlet air of internal combustion engines having a turbo-supercharger. The device comprises moistening means through which the inlet air and the moistening liquid flow and contact with one another. The moistening means is disposed upstream or the compressor of the turbo-supercharger in flow direction of the inlet air. In the flow path of the inlet air upstream of the moistening means an air/air heat exchanger is disposed which serves for preheating the inlet air and which is flown through by the atmospheric inlet air and the moistened and compressed inlet air from the compressor.
