Abstract
A device for air/fuel manifolds adapted to generate turbulent flows in combustion chambers. The device comprises a plurality of runners each of which internally comprises a longitudinal baffle adapted to form two channels each having a respective flow of air/fuel mixture to the combustion chamber. Moreover, in one channel is housed a throttle having, in its fully closed position, an aureole which extends along the whole perimeter of the throttle. The longitudinal baffle has a port for communication between the two channels, whereas a jet of fuel generated by an injector is targeted on the port for communication between the two channels.
