Abstract

An engine system having a turbocharger may include an engine block, a turbocharger, an intake line and an intercooler. The engine block may include a cylinder head disposed on an upper side of the engine block, an intake manifold disposed at one side of the cylinder head, and an exhaust manifold disposed at the other side of the cylinder head. The turbocharger may compress intake air by exhaust gas exhausted from the exhaust manifold, and the intake line may be formed from the turbocharger to the intake manifold to transfer the intake air compressed by the turbocharger to the intake manifold. The intercooler may be disposed on the intake line adjacent to the intake manifold to cool the compressed intake air. The compressed intake air discharged from the turbocharger may pass a side of the cylinder head and an engine coolant flowing the cylinder head may cool the compressed intake air.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An engine system having a turbocharger, comprising:
an engine block including:
a cylinder head disposed on an upper side of the engine block,
an intake manifold disposed at a first side of the cylinder head, and
an exhaust manifold disposed at a second side of the cylinder head;

a turbocharger compressing intake air by using exhaust gas exhausted from the exhaust manifold;
an intake line formed from the turbocharger to the intake manifold to supply compressed intake air compressed by the turbocharger to the intake manifold; and
an intercooler disposed on the intake line adjacent to the intake manifold to cool the compressed intake air,
wherein the compressed intake air discharged from the turbocharger passes a portion of the cylinder head and an engine coolant flowing the cylinder head cools the compressed intake air,
wherein an intake passage through which the compressed intake air flows is formed in the cylinder head and a coolant passage through which the engine coolant flows is formed around the intake passage,
wherein the intake passage formed in the cylinder head and the intercooler are separately formed each other, and
wherein the intercooler and the intake manifold are combined with each other.

2. The engine system having a turbocharger of claim 1 , wherein the intercooler uses a low temperature coolant circulating through a separate coolant line different from that of the engine coolant cooling the cylinder head to cool the intake air.

3. The engine system having a turbocharger of claim 1 , wherein a cross-section of the intake passage has a circular shape and a cross-section of the coolant passage has a circular shape surrounding the circular shape of the intake passage.

4. The engine system having a turbocharger of claim 1 , wherein the intake line is formed from a compressor housing of the turbocharger to an inlet of the intake passage, and a connection flange is formed to be engaged with the inlet of the intake passage on the intake line.
