Abstract
The invention relates to a method for discharging liquid from an intake tract of a turbocharger arrangement including a charge air cooler. As such, a charge air cooler may include a liquid collector including a switchable valve downstream of a charge air cooler. The switchable valve may be adjusted following the determination of an opening frequency and an opening duration based on a liquid collector temperature and a liquid collector pressure.
