Circuit arrangement for cooling charge air and method for operating a circuit arrangement of this type

摘要

The invention relates to a circuit arrangement (K) comprising a low-temperature circuit (NK) for cooling charge air ( 13 ) that is fed to a motor ( 8 ) in a motor vehicle equipped with a turbocharger. According to the invention, the charge air ( 13 ) is compressed in two stages in a first low-pressure turbocharger ( 1 ) and a second high-pressure turbocharger ( 2 ). To cool the charge air ( 13 ) a first cooler ( 3 ) is provided downstream of the low-pressure turbocharger ( 1 ) and upstream of the high-pressure turbocharger ( 2 ) and a second cooler ( 4 ) is provided downstream of the high-pressure turbocharger ( 2 ) and upstream of the motor ( 8 ). The invention also relates to a method for operating a circuit arrangement (K) of this type.
