How A Charge Air Cooler Works
Apr 10, 2024
How a Charge Air Cooler Works:
Intercooler in a turbocharging system: In a turbocharging system, the supercharger compresses air and feeds it into an intercooler. The cooling medium in the intercooler (usually water or air) absorbs the heat from the air, lowering its temperature. The cooled air then enters the engine cylinders.
Intercooler in a mechanical supercharging system: In a mechanical supercharging system, a supercharger (e.g., turbo, compressor, etc.) compresses the air and sends it to an intercooler. The cooling medium in the intercooler cools the hot air and the cooled air then enters the engine cylinder.
