Intercooler: Description and Operation
CHARGE AIR COOLER
DESCRIPTION
The charge air cooler is used to reduce the temperature of the engines incoming air supply. The charge air cooler is mounted to the bottom of the
supercharger, and is located between the cylinder banks. The charge air cooler is constructed of aluminum, and is detachable from the supercharger.
OPERATION
The purpose of the charge air cooler is to reduce the air inlet temperature thereby increasing air density thus producing an increase in engine
efficiency. The charge air cooler operates as an air-to-water heat exchanger. The charge air cooler extracts heat from the incoming compressed air,
leaving the supercharger. Transferring the heat in the air to the to the coolant in the charge air cooler. The hot coolant is then circulated to the charge
air cooler radiator where it is cooled.
