Durable Intercooler For Ford Ranger PX Mazda BT-50 2.2L 3.2L Trubo Diesel 2011-ON

HOW DOES AN INTERCOOLER WORK?

The problem is that the air passing through the turbocharger heats up to a significant temperature, reaching 150 ° C. This reduces the performance of the turbo. - the warmer

the air, the more its mass decreases. This is why an intercooler is used in cars. It cools the air that the turbocharger "spits out" into the combustion chamber - on average by

about 40-60%, which means more or less 15-20% increase in power.

The intercooler is the last link in the intake system, therefore usually found at the front of the vehiclejust behind the bumper. Cooling occurs due to the movement of the

vehicle through the flow of air. Sometimes an additional mechanism is used - a water jet.

INTERCOOLER - WHAT CAN BREAK?

The location of the intercooler just behind the front bumper makes it failures are most often mechanical - in winter it can be damaged, for example, by a stone or block of ice.

If a leak occurs as a result of such a defect, the combustion process of the fuel-air mixture will be disrupted. This is manifested by a drop in engine power, jerks during

acceleration and lubrication of the intercooler. Similar symptoms may also appear. if the air cooler becomes dirtyfor example, if oil or dirt enters the system through the

exhaust gas recirculation valve.
