Intercooler: Description and Operation
Description

DESCRIPTION

The charge air system consists of the charge air cooler and charge air cooler piping.

The charge air cooler is a heat exchanger that uses air flow from vehicle motion to dissipate heat from the intake air. As the turbocharger increases air
pressure, the air temperature increases. Lowering the intake air temperature increases engine efficiency and power.
