A case is connected between an outlet side of a turbocharger and an intake port of an engine. A cooling passage and a bypass passage are partitioned in the case to split intake air into two flows. A storage unit is formed in a bottom portion of the case to accumulate liquid. The cooling passage is located along a gravity direction to flow intake air from a lower side to an upper side. The bypass passage flows intake air to bypass the cooling passage. A valve controls opening of the cooling passage and the bypass passage on an inlet side or on an outlet side. The valve opens the bypass passage to forcedly supply at least a part of intake air, which is drawn into the case, through the storage unit and the bypass passage into the intake port.
