Hello everyone welcome to the automotives,
today in this video we will discuss about the
intercooler.
.............................................INTRO...................................
In previous video we have seen the working of turbo
charger. in the circuit of turbocharger there is
component called intercooler, so today we will
cover the fundamentals of the Intercooler including
construction and location.
IN this video we will discuss,
Function of intercooler.
Importance of intercooler.
Construction of intercooler..
Location and Circuit of intercooler.
At last Working of intercooler.
FUNCTION:::
main function of intercooler is to remove the
excessive heat from the Intake air, it works on the
Principle of heat exchange and provides cooling to
the intake air coming from the turbocharger.
IMPORTANCE:::::::
if engine is subjected to hot air intake there are maximum
possibilites that causes the misfire and engine stalk. which
results in Decreasing performance and damage to the components!
on the otherside the density of air is inversly propotional to the
air tempreture.which means density of air inside combution chamber
decreases drastically which reduces the engine performace and efficiency.
intercooler reduces the tempreture of intake air which results in dense air
intake which increase the volumatric efficiency of engine which allows to burn
the fuel more efficiently.
CONSTRUCTION:::::
Construction of intercooler is quite similer to the Radiator.
intercooler consist of two main chamber, the first one is intake
chamber and second one is exhaust chamber. as per the name
intake chamber is connected with turbocharger while exhaust chamber
advances to the Intake manifold.
both chambers are interconnected with many highly thermal conductive
access tubes.
to increase the heat exchange capacity of the intercooler various thermal
fins are provided. these fins increase the thermal capabalities by increasing
the contect area.
LOCATION:::::
in the circuit of the intercooler the first component
is air filter.
air filter is connected with the turbocharger.
now turbocharger advances to the intercooler.
intercooler is connected with the intake manifold.
if we talk about location of the intercooler
in the front engine mounted car intercooler is
usually mounted behind the front radiator.
which is located in front of engine.
WORKING:::::::
intercooler works exactly same as the radiator.
on the principle of heat exchange.
normally turbocharger compresses the intake
air which results in higher tempreture of the
intake air. when this hot air passes though the
intercooler. access tubes abosorbs the heat and
decrease the tempreture of the air which results
in higher density. the heat absorbed from the
intake air is further supplied to the fins.
now fins decipates the heat directly to the atmosphere.
basically in the circuit
hot air coming from the turbocharges is partially cooled
by the intercooler which results in low tempreture more
dense air. this dense air improves the volumetric efficiency
of the engine which results in the higher combustion quality
and performace.
