Abstract

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Ansaugsystem für eine Brennkraftmaschine eines Kraftfahrzeuges. Das Ansaugsystem weist einen ersten Rohlufteinlass (10), welcher an einer zur Ansaugung günstigen Stelle im Kraftfahrzeug angeordnet ist und einen zweiten Rohlufteinlass (11), welcher an einer für Spritz und Schlagwasser geschützten Stelle angeordnet ist auf. Beide Rohlufteinlässe (10,11) münden in eine gemeinsame Leitung (12), welche kommunizierend mit der Brennkraftmaschine verbunden ist. In dem ersten Rohlufteinlass (10) ist ein Feuchtigkeitssensor (14) angeordnet, welcher beim Eintreten von Wasser in den ersten Rohlufteinlass (10) ein Signal aussendet, welches einen Hubmagneten (23) zum Bewegen einer Klappe (13) aktiviert. Die Klappe (13) verschließt in einer ersten Schaltstellung den zweiten Rohlufteinlass (11), wodurch keine Luft von dem zweiten Rohlufteinlass (11) in die Leitung (12) gelangt. In einer zweiten Stellung (strichpunktiert dargestellt) verschließt die Klappe (13) den ersten Rohlufteinlass (10), wodurch ausschließlich Luft durch den zweiten Rohlufteinlass (11) in die Leitung (12) gelangt.
