Patent ID: 8112993

Claim:
An arrangement of a charge air cooler in an intake system of an internal combustion engine comprising a charger for the combustion air, the arrangement comprising: a charge air cooler supplied with combustion air and with a liquid coolant; a coolant/air cooler in which the liquid coolant is cooled by an air flow; a pipe conduit for the charge air; wherein the charge air cooler is slantedly arranged in the pipe conduit so that an end face of a heat exchanger block of the charge air cooler which end face is facing a flow of the charge air in the pipe conduit is arranged at an angle of >45 degrees relative to a cross-section of the pipe conduit, wherein the charge air cooler has at least one collecting tank for the liquid coolant and the at least one collecting tank is arranged outside of the pipe conduit, wherein the pipe conduit is of a one-piece, unitary, monolithic configuration in which said unitary pipe conduit includes inlet and outlet sides in a single unitary one piece component, said unitary pipe conduit having a sidewall opening arranged between said inlet and outlet sides through which the charge air cooler is inserted into the unitary, one-piece pipe conduit, wherein the charge air cooler has two of the at least one collecting tank arranged at a first end of the heat exchanger block, wherein said two collecting tanks are provided for supplying and returning the liquid coolant and wherein at a second end of the heat exchanger block defecting means are provided that deflect the liquid coolant.
