[3] INTERCOOLER

When the turbocharger (2) compresses the intake air,
the air becomes heated (due to compression) and
expands. When the heated air expands it becomes less
dense. The result is that part of the purpose of the
turbocharger is defeated; that is, due to heat expansion,
less air is forced into the engine.
To overcome this condition, some turbocharged
engines are equipped with an intercooler.
installed between the turbocharger and the intake
manifold.
The intercooler (1) reduces the temperature of the
compressed air. This makes the air denser, allowing
more to be packed into the combustion chambers.
