The difference between intercooler and water tank, and the function of intercooler

To cool down the engine, the help of a cooling device is essential. However, when we talk about the difference between an intercooler and a water tank today, I believe there are still some friends who cannot distinguish them clearly. So, in order to better understand, let's now introduce their respective roles to everyone.

The intercooler in a car is the intake cooling device of a turbocharged engine. Generally, only cars equipped with a turbocharger can see its presence. As for the function of the intercooler, it is used to reduce the intake temperature of the engine. It can not only alleviate the thermal load of the engine, but also increase the intake volume, which is of great help to the power of the engine. Don't underestimate its existence. You should know that the exhaust gas temperature discharged by a turbocharged engine is very high. If it enters the combustion chamber without cooling, it is easy to cause the engine temperature to be too high, resulting in detonation and other phenomena, and the exhaust emissions also increase accordingly.

The car radiator, also known as the radiator, is the main component of the car cooling system used to dissipate excess and useless heat from the water-cooled engine. When the system detects that the engine water temperature is too high, the water pump repeatedly circulates to lower the engine temperature, effectively protecting the engine. So, when the water temperature is detected to be too low, the water circulation will immediately stop to prevent the engine from experiencing low temperatures.

The intake pipe mainly provides a relatively sealed passage for the air or combustible mixture inhaled by the engine. Generally, sensors are installed on the intake manifold to measure the engine intake volume. Engine intake pipe inspection
The intake pipe mainly provides a relatively sealed passage for the air or combustible mixture inhaled by the engine. Generally, sensors are installed on the intake manifold to measure the engine intake volume.
After working for a long time, the plastic pipe of the intake manifold will experience aging, cracking, and other phenomena, which will cause distortion in the measurement of the engine's intake volume, unstable idling, or poor acceleration performance; If there is a foreign object blocking the intake pipe, it will reduce the intake volume of the engine and decrease the engine output power. So it is necessary to inspect the intake pipe and carry out corresponding maintenance work.
