Abstract
A engine system, comprising a cylinder head with one or more cylinders, an outlet opening of a cylinder coupled to an exhaust line for discharging the exhaust gases via an exhaust-gas discharge system; an inlet opening of a cylinder coupled to an intake line for supplying charge air via an intake system, the intake system including one or more compressors for compressing the charge air and a charge-air cooler coupled to the intake system, the charge-air cooler including a first refrigerant evaporator through which a refrigerant and charge air can flow. The use of a refrigerant evaporator allows air charge to cool to a temperature below the ambient temperature.
