Supercharger Cooling: Overview
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2018 Land Rover Discovery and 2017 Land Rover Discovery. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The supercharger cooling system uses engine coolant to cool the pressurized charge air from the supercharger. The supercharger cooling system consists of:
- A charge air coolant pump.
- Two charge air radiators.
- Two charge air coolers.
- Connecting hoses and pipes.
The supercharger cooling system is operationally independent of the engine cooling system, but connected to it at the radiator upper hose. The connection with the engine cooling system accommodates thermal expansion and retraction of the coolant in the supercharger cooling system. In addition, it enables filling and draining of the supercharger cooling system.
