We tell you what intercooler means!
The intercooler is a so-called heat exchanger that is installed near the intake tract in vehicles with a charged engine. The aim is to supply the sucked in air to the engine at a low temperature. Since colder air has a higher oxygen content, better combustion is guaranteed and thus more power is achieved.
A charge air cooler can also be advantageous for eco-tuning, as the charge air cooling enables higher performance with lower consumption. A charge air cooler can no longer be dispensed with, particularly in the field of diesel engines, since the usual consumption values could no longer be achieved without a charge air cooler.
