Open intake and exhaust chamber constructions for an air handling system of an opposed-piston engine

An opposed-piston engine has a cylinder block with a plurality of cylinders arranged inline, with each cylinder including an intake port longitudinally separated from an exhaust port. The engine's air handling system includes open intake and exhaust chambers in the cylinder block. The open chamber constructions eliminate the need for multi-pipe manifolds and smooth the flow of charge air. 对置活塞发动机具有汽缸体，该汽缸体具有布置成直列的多个汽缸，其中每个汽缸包括与排气端口纵向分离的进气端口。发动机的空气处理系统包括在汽缸体中的打开的进气室和排气室。打开的室构造消除了对多管道歧管的需要，并且使增压空气的流动平稳。
