System for temporarily increasing the power output of supercharged internal combustion engines cooled by intercoolers

摘要

The invention relates to a system for temporarily increasing the power output of supercharged internal combustion engines cooled by intercoolers, the system having a means of precooling the charge air by means of cooling air in at least one charge air cooler, and also having a separate cooling means. In order to achieve a temporary improvement in charge air cooling and thereby increase the power output of the internal combustion engine, it is proposed according to the invention that the charge air cooler (1) be at least partly enclosed by a case (8) which has butterfly valves (9) and into which a separate coolant (coolant inlet 11) can be introduced. <IMAGE>
