Described is a device for moistening the inlet air of internal combustion engines having a turbo-supercharger. The device comprises moistening means through which the inlet air and the moistening liquid flow and contact with one another. The moistening means is disposed upstream or the compressor of the turbo-supercharger in flow direction of the inlet air. In the flow path of the inlet air upstream of the moistening means an air/air heat exchanger is disposed which serves for preheating the inlet air and which is flown through by the atmospheric inlet air and the moistened and compressed inlet air from the compressor.

1. An internal combustion engine comprising:a plurality of cylinders generating an exhaust gas; a turbo-supercharger connected to said cylinders and having a turbine receiving said exhaust gas and driven thereby, and a compressor for compressing air to be fed to said cylinders and driven by said turbine; an air/air heat exchanger; a first conduit connected to said air/air heat exchanger for supplying atmospheric air thereto for heating in said air/air heat exchanger, a second conduit connecting said compressor to said air/air heat exchanger for supplying compressed air heated by said compressor to said air/air heat exchanger whereby said compressed air is cooled, a third conduit connected to said air/air heat exchanger for delivering compressed air to said cylinders, and a fourth conduit for delivering heated atmospheric air; and a moistener upstream of said compressor and downstream of said air/air heat exchanger, said moistener being connected to a source of water, to said fourth conduit and to said compressor for moistening heated atmospheric air delivered by said fourth conduit and supplying moistened heated atmospheric air to said compressor for compression therein.
