4.10.8 Additional (intermediate) air cooling system
This system is designed for cooling the air, which is pumped by the compressor (if installed) and directed into the engine cylinders. This is done with one goal - to increase the degree of filling the cylinder by increasing the air density due to cooling. This system includes air ducts that connect the compressor to the throttle blade, in which an air or liquid-cooled radiator is mounted in series.
Note
The degree of filling of the cylinder is characterized by the filling ratio, which is equal to the ratio of the volume of the incoming air to the volume of the cylinder.
Note
In order to increase engine power and torque, one of two types of compressors is often installed on car engines: powered and turbochargers. The first type of compressor is driven directly from the crankshaft through a drive belt, chain or gears. There are many compressors of this type. The turbocharger consists of two parts - a turbine and a compressor. They are mounted on the same shaft. The turbine spins up the flow of exhaust gases, along with it the compressor spins up, pumping an additional amount of air into the cylinders.
