Intercooler and vehicle

By installing a connecting pipe in the intercooler to directly introduce high-temperature gas into the low-temperature end chamber, the problem of condensate freezing and blockage in the intercooler of gas-powered commercial vehicles under low-temperature conditions is solved, achieving normal drainage under low-temperature conditions and reducing costs.

AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

In low-temperature environments, condensate in the intercooler of a gas-powered commercial vehicle freezes, causing blockage of the drain hole and leading to intercooler failure. Existing windshield covers are costly and have a low user installation rate, failing to effectively solve the freezing problem.

Method used

Design an intercooler by setting a connecting pipe between the high-temperature end chamber and the low-temperature end chamber, so that the high-temperature gas can be directly connected to the low-temperature end. The high-temperature gas is used to heat the low-temperature end chamber to prevent the condensate from freezing. The connecting pipe adopts a plug-in fit and snap-fit ​​structure, which is convenient for installation and disassembly.

Benefits of technology

It effectively prevents condensate from freezing and clogging the drain hole, simplifies the intercooler structure, reduces costs, and improves the reliability of drainage function and ease of maintenance in low-temperature environments.

Abstract

This invention discloses an intercooler and a vehicle. The intercooler includes: a high-temperature end chamber with an exhaust port; a low-temperature end chamber spaced apart from the high-temperature end chamber, with an inlet and a drain port spaced apart; a heat sink positioned between and connected to both the high-temperature and low-temperature end chambers; and a connecting pipe positioned between the high-temperature and low-temperature end chambers, connected to both the exhaust port and the inlet port. Thus, by directly connecting the high-temperature and low-temperature end chambers through the connecting pipe, high-temperature gas can quickly reach the low-temperature end and be heated. This not only prevents condensate from freezing and clogging the drain port, but also offers simplicity, reliability, and low cost.
