PURPOSE:To provide a highly efficient inter-cooler for cooling supercharged air, which is independent from the operating condition of an engine and which may utilize an existing refrigerating cycle, by utilizing coolant in the refrigerating cycle as a cooling source for the inter-cooler. CONSTITUTION:Air is fed to an engine body 1 from a pipe 27 through a blower 22, a pipe 26, an inter-cooler 21' and a pipe 25 in a turbo-charger, and exhaust gas is discharged through an exhaust pipe 28, a turbines 23 and a pipe 29 n the turbo charger and a pipe line 29. A compressor 31 for a cooler system 30 such as, for example, car-cooler, etc., driven by an engine 11 compresses coolant, and the thus compressed coolant cools the passenger's compartment, passing through a condenser 32, an expansion valve 33, a valve 35 and an evaporator 34, and then returns to the compressor through a valve 37. Upon operation of the inter-cooler 21' a valve 36 is opened to introduce a part of coolant into the inter-cooler. The coolant is then returned into the compressor 32 through a valve 38 after air being cooled. |
