Abstract
An intercooler lid assembly for an intercooler supercharger system comprising an intercooler lid mountable to a supercharger housing; one or more intercooler cores mounted within the intercooler lid; wherein the one or more intercooler cores configured to receive and cool supercharger air passing there through prior to receipt by an engine, the one or more intercooler cores are mounted to and within the intercooler lid to form a pre-assembled intercooler lid assembly mountable onto the supercharger housing to install the intercooler lid assembly, and the one or more intercooler cores configured to provide heat exchange fluid transfer there through to cool the supercharger air.
Claims10
An intercooler lid assembly for an intercooler supercharger system, comprising:
- an intercooler lid mountable to a supercharger housing;
- one or more intercooler cores mounted within and to the intercooler lid;
- wherein the one or more intercooler cores configured to receive and cool supercharger air passing there through prior to receipt by an engine, the one or more intercooler cores are mounted to and within the intercooler lid to form a pre-assembled intercooler lid assembly mountable onto the supercharger housing to install the intercooler lid assembly, and the one or more intercooler cores configured to provide heat exchange fluid transfer there through to cool the supercharger air,
- wherein the one or more intercooler cores include a single intercooler core configured to receive and cool supercharger air upon a first pass there through and receive and further cool the supercharger air upon a second pass through the single intercooler core prior to receipt by an engine, and the single intercooler core includes a single-pass heat exchanger path central section and spaced dual-pass heat exchanger path outer sections that are spaced from each other by the single-pass heat exchanger path central section.
An intercooler lid assembly for an intercooler supercharger system, comprising:
- an intercooler lid mountable to a supercharger housing;
- one or more intercooler cores mounted within and to the intercooler lid;
- wherein the one or more intercooler cores configured to receive and cool supercharger air passing there through prior to receipt by an engine, the one or more intercooler cores are mounted to and within the intercooler lid to form a pre-assembled intercooler lid assembly mountable onto the supercharger housing to install the intercooler lid assembly, and the one or more intercooler cores configured to provide heat exchange fluid transfer there through to cool the supercharger air,
- wherein the one or more intercooler cores include a single intercooler core configured to receive and cool supercharger air upon a first pass there through and receive and further cool the supercharger air upon a second pass through the single intercooler core prior to receipt by an engine, and wherein the single intercooler core includes a lower section that heat exchanger fluid flows through in one direction and an upper section that heat exchanger fluid flows through in an opposite direction.
