The present invention provides a structure of a brake cooling duct mounted to cool a brake disk by discharging air introduced from the front to the rear, and to be disposed on one side of an intercooler tank, comprising: an intercooler tank; And a brake cooling duct in which a channel through which air flows is formed, and a through hole is formed so that the channel is exposed to the outside side, wherein the outer surface of the intercooler tank is exposed to the channel through the through hole. It is arranged in close contact with one side of the intercooler tank so that the air introduced into the channel is discharged to the rear after contacting the outer surface of the intercooler tank. According to the present invention having the above configuration, the cooling performance of the intercooler can be maximized as the running wind introduced into the brake cooling duct additionally cools the intercooler tank. In addition, since the unused area is reduced, design freedom can also be increased, and the assembly process can be simplified since the brake cooling duct can be mounted on the vehicle while being coupled to the intercooler tank.

Intake device for V-type internal combustion engine

Cold air super-charged internal combustion engine, working cycle and method

Working cycle for internal combustion engines, with methods and apparatuses for managing combustion charge density, temperature, pressures and turbulence (among other characteristics). At least one embodiment describes a supercharged internal combustion engine in which a supercharging portion of air is compressed, cooled and injected late in the compression process. A sub-normal compression ratio or low “effective” compression ratio initial air charge is received by a cylinder/compression chamber on the engine intake process, which during compression produces only a fraction of heat-of-compression as that produced by a conventional engine. During compression process, dense, cooled supercharging air charge is injected, adding density and turbulence above that of conventional engines with low “effective” compression ratio for this portion of air charge also. Compression continues and near piston top dead center, the air charge being mixed with fuel is ignited for power pulse followed by scavenging.
