The Role And Application Of The Intercooler
Both the supercharged engine and the turbocharged engine require the installation of an intercooler between the supercharger and the engine intake manifold. Since the radiator is located between the engine and the supercharger, it is also known as intermediate cooling device, referred to as intercooler.
The role of the intercooler
1. Increase the specific power, improve the engine horsepower. Cooling and pressurized to improve the intake air temperature, increase the oxygen content per unit volume, so that the fuel burn more fully, improve the engine power. According to statistics, under a given pressure, the pressurized air temperature for each drop of 10 擄C, the engine power increased by 3% -5%; or at the same power, fuel consumption of 1.5%, the maximum combustion temperature And the average temperature of the entire cycle drops by 3 擄 C.
2. Reduce the engine heat load and mechanical load, to extend the engine life. When the engine flows into excessively high temperatures, the working load of the engine is increased, and the intercooler can effectively cool the air before the air enters the engine, allowing the operator to work at relatively suitable temperatures to improve the use of the engine life.
3. To avoid the tendency of gasoline engine after the deflagration. The air will produce a high temperature after compression, and high temperature gas contact with the gasoline engine for a long time prone to deflagration phenomenon, and the cold cooler good cooling performance can be a good way to avoid this situation.
