How Does the Cooling System Work?
The charge air cooler works on the same principle as radiators or heat exchangers. Air on its way to the engine first passes through the turbocharger, where it is compressed using exhaust gases. The compression of the air increases its temperature. To bring down the temperature of the air before it enters the engine for combustion, a charge air cooler is used.
Charge air coolers are units that come with tubes and fins. These units are made up of materials that qualify as good conductors. Therefore, when hot air passes through these charge air coolers, there is quick dissipation of heat, and the air reaches ambient temperature.
Thus, a charge air cooler effectively cools the engine inlet air for improved fuel combustion.
Do Charge Air Coolers Need Replacement?
Wear and tear, breakdown, and failure are common to charge air coolers, just as they are to every other engine component. Air cooler leaks are the primary reasons for the failure of charge air coolers. In the case of leaks, the performance, and fuel efficiency of every engine is severely impacted. In some cases, engine horsepower can even decrease by 50%. To prevent such inefficiency, replacement of charge air cooler becomes important.
Detecting a leak in the charge air cooler can be difficult. Some signs that point at a possible failure of the unit are:
The constant exposure to stress, vibrations, and overheating takes a toll on the charge air cooler units to cause failure. Most charge air coolers need to be replaced every 3 to 5 years.
