Description And Operation
WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
The intercoolers are water cooled: the heat is removed from the air when entering the intercooler by lower temperature water that circulates in the intercooler through a specific system.
- 1 - Water drainage pipe to cool compressed air.
- 2 - Water intake pipe to cool compressed air.
- 3 - Dump solenoid valve.
- 4 - Pressure and over supply sensor.
On the intercooler's body there is a Dump solenoid valve, and sensors that measure the over supply pressure generated by the turbochargers.
- 1 - Dump solenoid valve.
- 2 - Air recirculation pipe.
- 3 - Sleeve for air entry to turbocharger.
The Dump solenoid valves are commanded by ECM control modules and engine management. In cutoff conditions, the ECMs command the solenoid valves open, allowing recirculating of air pushed by the turbocharger. The air recirculating pipes (2) connect the intercooler's recirculation with an air intake sleeve in the turbocharger.
