Determination of Optimum Operating Conditions of Different Types of Intercooler Designs in Supercharged Engines

Abstract

In the rapidly developing automotive technology, the efforts to achieve high performance with less fuel consumption is one of the most important issues today. The purpose of the supercharged systems developed for this reason is to send more air into the cylinder. For high engine performance and low exhaust emission values, the intake air temperature, which is heated in the turbo-compressor and has the oxygen concentration (the amount of oxygen in the unit air) decreased, must be kept at certain levels. Therefore, the heated air between the compressor outlet and the cylinder inlet must be cooled. In this study, different types of intercoolers were designed and analyzed with the help of ANSYS Fluent (CFD) program, and optimum conditions were tried to be obtained by comparing them with each other.
