Abstract
A fresh air supply device for an internal combustion engine may include a suction module for conducting supercharged fresh air and a charge air cooler arranged in the suction module for cooling the supercharged fresh air. The suction module includes a housing with a charge air inlet for uncooled charge air and a charge air outlet for cooled charge air. The housing has a cooler shell, which may include the charge air inlet containing the charge air cooler and an assembly opening. With respect to a flow direction of the charge air the assembly opening may be arranged downstream of the charge air cooler and through which the charge air cooler is inserted into the cooler shell. The housing has a connecting shell, which includes the charge air outlet and which in the region of the assembly opening is attached to the cooler shell in an air-tight manner.
