Zusammenfassung: | PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an improved combustion air charging apparatus with an internal intercooler that is more compact than known such systems, that is easily serviced, and/or which requires a minimum of plumbing connections to the engine. SOLUTION: A rotary compressor, such as the combustion air charger, includes a rotatable shaft 18 having at least one compressor wheel 20, 22 thereon and disposed within a housing 12, 14. A donut-shaped heat exchanger 36 is located within the housing 12, 14 between the compressor wheel 22 and an outlet 32 from the housing and has radially inner and outer peripheries 40, 42. The outer periphery 40 forms an inlet for the heat exchanger 36 for gas discharged by the compressor wheel 20. The heat exchanger is provided with radially inner and outer flow paths formed by tubes 92 and includes a combined manifold and tank 44 which is secured and sealed to a header plate receiving the tubes.
