Supercharger Exhaust Bypass

A method of diverting air in a supercharger bypass system, comprising:

• compressing intake air using a supercharger and expelling the compressed air to a combustion engine;
• receiving and processing sensor signals from sensors;
• comparing the received sensor signals with predetermined values to determine if engine flow rate is optimized and to determine if exhaust temperature is in an ideal range;
• adjusting a degree of a bypass valve opening to control an amount of compressed air being diverted from the supercharger to an envelope of a second intercooler, and
• exhausting gas from the combustion engine to a central passage of the second intercooler.

A supercharger exhaust bypass system, comprising:

• a supercharger for compressing air, the supercharger comprising an inlet and an outlet;
• a first bypass valve connected to the supercharger outlet;
• an intercooler comprising an envelope inlet, an exhaust inlet, an exhaust outlet, an exhaust passage between the exhaust inlet and the exhaust outlet, and an envelope connected to the envelope inlet and surrounding the exhaust passage;
• a combustion engine system connected to receive compressed air from the supercharger and further connected to output exhaust to the exhaust inlet of the intercooler;
• and
• a bypass conduit connected to the first bypass valve and connected to the envelope inlet.
