Charge air cooler for vehicle engine, has open air flow channels on cooler block length sides for passing air through block at right angles to coolant flow direction

摘要

#CMT# #/CMT# The air flow channels (9) are open on opposite length sides of the cooler block (3, 4) so that the air flows through the block in a direction at right angles to the coolant flow direction. #CMT# : #/CMT# A turbo charger (6) mounted on the engine compresses the charge air and supplies it to the cooler, which comprises an elongated cooler block mounted inside a casing (2) with an inlet and outlet. The block comprises alternating channels with a rectilinear cross-section for carrying charge air and coolant (8), when viewed in cross-section. An inlet and outlet for the coolant are connected to opposite ends of the block so that the coolant flows through the block in its length direction. #CMT#USE : #/CMT# For cooling the combustion air being supplied to a vehicle internal combustion engine. #CMT#ADVANTAGE : #/CMT# More effective charge air cooling. #CMT#DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS : #/CMT# The figure shows a cut-away perspective view of a charge air cooler with one end connected to a turbo charger. 2 : casing 3, 4 : cooler blocks 6 : turbo charger 8 : coolant channels 9 : charge air channels.
