INTERCOOLER HAVING A CONDENSATE COLLECTOR

摘要

The invention relates to an intercooler (1), comprising a condensate collector (6) for collecting, in particular, condensate (7) precipitated in the intercooler (1). It is essential to the invention that the condensate collector (6) is separate from the intercooler (1) and is arranged below the intercooler, and that the condensate collector (6) has at least one expansion chamber (11), which is arranged above an inlet (12) and an outlet (13) of the condensate collector (6) during operation of the intercooler (1). Economical and effective freezing protection can thereby be created.
