Intercooler Heat Exchanger

An intercooler is a heat exchanger used to cool a gas after compression. Often found in turbocharged engines, intercoolers are also used in air compressors, air conditioners, refrigeration and gas turbines.An intercooler acts as a heat exchanger, removing the heat generated during the turbochargers' compression process. It does this by transferring the heat to another cooling medium, which is usually either air or water.
