A charge air cooler (CAC) with at least one water condensate storage container reducing the risk of ice forming a plug inside the CAC and hindering flow of air is provided. The storage container is formed by a storage container mounted inside a CAC air distribution compartment forming two sections wherein the upper section is used for storing condensed water and distributing air into a cooling section of the CAC, and a bottom section that is arranged to distribute air flow so as to provide an efficient heat exchange with ice and water in the storage container and a free passage of air flow. The storage container may include a plurality of separate successive storage sections, each successively used when one storage section is full of water and/or ice. |
