Intercooler

An intercooler comprising:

• a case having an air intake port, an air outlet port, and an interior air cooling space shaped to allow supercharging air to pass through said case from said air intake port to said air outlet port, said air intake port and said air outlet port both being located in a first side of said case opposite a second side of said case;
• a heat exchanger including a heat exchange unit mounted within said interior air cooling space between said first side and said second side of said case, for allowing heat exchange between a cooling fluid flowing through said heat exchanger and the supercharging air passing through said case;
• a frame body mounted to said heat exchange unit of said heat exchanger, said frame body being shaped and arranged to direct a flow of the supercharging air within said interior air cooling space from said air intake port to said second side of said case opposite said first side before the supercharging air exits said interior air cooling space via said air outlet port;
• and
• a screen vent member in said interior air cooling space and located between said frame body and said air outlet port.

• a heat exchanger including a heat exchange unit mounted within said interior air cooling space between said first side and said second side of said case, for allowing heat exchange between a cooling fluid flowing through said heat exchanger and the supercharging air passing through said case;
• and
• a frame body mounted to said heat exchange unit of said heat exchanger, said frame body being shaped and arranged to direct a flow of the supercharging air within said interior air cooling space from said air intake port to said second side of said case opposite said first side before the supercharging air exits said interior air cooling space via said air outlet port.

• a heat exchanger including:
• a heat exchange unit mounted within said interior air cooling space between said first side and said second side of said case, for allowing heat exchange between a cooling fluid flowing through said heat exchanger and the supercharging air passing through said case, said heat exchange unit including a plurality of tubes and a plurality of fins attached to each of tubes, each of said fins extending in an orthogonal direction with respect to a longitudinal direction of said tubes, said fins being spaced apart at an interval along the longitudinal direction of said tubes;
• and
• an intake pipe communicating with an intake tank, and an outlet pipe communicating with an outlet tank, said heat exchange unit being arranged between and in communication with said intake tank and said outlet tank so that said intake pipe communicates with said outlet pipe via said plurality of tubes;
• and
• a frame body mounted to said heat exchange unit of said heat exchanger, said frame body being shaped and arranged to direct a flow of the supercharging air within said interior air cooling space from said air intake port to said second side of said case opposite said first side before the supercharging air exits said interior air cooling space via said air outlet port.
