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.
