Abstract
A charge air system for an internal combustion engine includes a compressor wheel which is rotated to draw ambient air into a housing, compress the air, and to force the air through a discharge conduit into the the intake manifold of an internal combustion engine. The silencers may be placed in the inlet conduit or the outlet conduit to attenuate pressure fluctuations in the conduits, which are a source of significant noise.
