Intake-air cooling apparatus for internal combustion engine and automobile using the same

摘要

There is provided an intake-air cooling apparatus for an internal combustion engine which can be arranged compactly. The intake-air cooling apparatus for an internal combustion engine is configured such that an intercooler that cools intake air with outside air and an evaporator that cools the intake air with refrigerant circulating through a refrigerant circuit are arranged in this order in an intake-air passage from a supercharger to the internal combustion engine, wherein the intercooler is disposed in a duct through which the outside air passes; the evaporator is disposed in a case through which the intake air passes; and one wall of the case constitutes part of the duct.
