he as a heat exchanger

 

Technically a heat exchanger is a generic term for an intercooler, and technically, 99.9% of the "intercoolers" you see on cars are AFTERcoolers. The term intercooler came from WW2 era airplanes that used multiple superchargers. An intercooler fit between stages of compressors. Since most of us just use a cooler after the compressor, its technically an aftercooler but the intercooler name stuck.

 

like I said im new to this crap lol....there is some kind of cooling device in the plenum of the intake/super charger, and there is also one in the grill. it's also a liquid cooled intercooler.....and because I didn't install any of it, I don't know how any of it works together it's a 3.6L kenne bell

 

one in your plenum is the actual intercooler, the one in the grill is the heat exchanger...alot of race setups dont even run the heat exchanger since it heats the air up when using Ice tank setups

the heat exchanger with coolant running thru it is a setup for a daily driver

 

Geez yall take this stuff way to serious. I was just screwing with stewart because it is fun.

 

well I don't have a racecar, it just looks like one lol. since it relates to IAT, how does the intercooler and heat exchanger work together? so the intercooler inside the charger has the liquid flowing through it?

as if I'm not already confused enough!!! haha

 

Blower pushes air across the intercooler
Heat exchanger is a radiator where liquid goes from a tank down to a pump then heat exchanger then into the core of intercooler then back into tank...

So youre IATs will only be as cool as the liquid in your tank.

When using ice tank yiu can have IATs at 30* but youll go thru bags of ice a pass

 

so for a better operating system, I need a bigger heat exchanger...the intercooler can only as cool as the heat exchanger will allow? I don't think I will ever put ice into my tank. even though it's around 5 gallons.

 

Go drive it around let those IATs get into the 150* mark them open up the tank to see if it is really hot.

 

Ice is for race, our old setup on a whipple would go from frosty ice tank to IATs crossing traps at 190*

Was only a 2 gallon tank



But for yours a large tank and large heat exchanger will help but end of day its still a heat pump

Can swap out liquid for water wetter or purple ice
