Problems solved by technology

[0005] However, even if the water-retaining wall prevents flowing water from entering the air supply pipe, there is still a risk that sediment (for example in the form of water droplets) can be carried further into the air supply pipe by the air
Also, this water retaining wall creates a pressure drop in the air, which reduces the airflow requirements of the climate control system

Embodiment Construction

[0038]Hereinafter, the present invention is illustrated by examples. It should be appreciated, however, that the examples are included to explain the principles of the invention and not to limit the scope of the invention, which is defined by the appended claims. Details from two or more embodiments may be combined with each other.

[0039] figure 1 A vehicle 1 comprising an air supply duct 3 according to the invention is schematically shown. Typically, the air supply duct 3 is arranged in the region 5 between the windscreen 7 and the engine compartment 9 of the vehicle. Alternatively, at least a part of the air supply duct (for example the inlet) may be arranged in the hood 11 of the vehicle 1 .

[0040] Terms like vertical, horizontal, upper and lower used below are relative to when the air supply duct according to the invention is installed in a vehicle. However, the air supply duct can also be manufactured and sold as a separate unit.

Abstract

The invention relates to an air supply pipeline and a vehicle comprising the air supply pipeline. The air supply pipeline (3) is used for the vehicle (1). The air supply pipeline (3) comprises: a housing (15), the housing (15) has an inlet (19) adapted to receive air from the exterior of the vehicle (1) and an outlet (21) adapted to deliver air to the vehicle's climate control system; and a cowling (17), arranged within the housing (15), The fairing (17) is adapted to direct air along the air path (23) such that the air path (23) changes direction within the housing (15). The fairing (17) has a curved form adapted to form an inward bend (41) of the air path (23). Furthermore, the fairing (17) comprises a fallout collecting device (31) arranged to collect fallout carried by the air from outside the vehicle (1) and remove the fallout from the air.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an air supply duct for a vehicle. The invention also relates to a vehicle comprising such an air supply line. Background technique [0002] Many modern vehicles are equipped with climate control systems, such as HVAC systems, ie heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems, to provide a comfortable climate in the passenger compartment. Typically, fresh air is supplied to the climate control system from ambient air outside the vehicle through air supply ducts. [0003] Occasionally, precipitation, such as rain, snow or hail, can occur in the outside air and can be born further into the air supply duct by the air. However, this is undesirable because if moisture or water gets into the climate control system, there is a risk of bad smells in the passenger compartment or water entering the passenger compartment. Furthermore, the fallout can reduce the efficiency of the climate control system and can even risk damaging the c...
