Abstract
An air intake apparatus for supplying air to an internal combustion engine comprises a hollow plastics material enclosure, an air filter and an air compressor which when activated compresses air supplied to the engine. The enclosure houses the air filter and compressor. An engine air supply path through the enclosure passes from an air inlet to the enclosure to an air outlet from the enclosure via the air filter. The enclosure inlet and enclosure outlet define respectively an upstream end of the air supply path and a downstream end of the air supply path, wherein the compressor is secured within the enclosure by resilient vibration-isolating mounts.
