Intercooler: A device installed on the delivery side of a supercharger to cool either the compressed air or the fuel mixture as it passes to the cylinders.
20psi boost/1:1 Regulator, intercooler, 60psi and 13.5v, volume 529lbs/hr. 881 HP @ .6 BSFC
10psi boost/4:1 FMU, intercooler, 80psi and 13.5v, volume 426lbs/hr. 710 HP @ .6 BSFC
6psi boost/8:1 FMU, intercooler, 91psi and 13.5v, volume 370lbs/hr.
Diesels generate massive amounts of heat, and despite the use of intercoolers and liquid cooling, Diamond had to go back to the drawing board to come up with adequate cooling for high-altitude operation.
There is a slight penalty in that turbocharging also increases the temperature of the charge, and consequently decreases the achievable density, unless a charge cooling device - an intercooler - is incorporated between the compressor and the ...
