[0002] An intercooler is a heat exchanger used to reduce the temperature of high-temperature fluids. In the automotive industry, it is primarily used to cool the pressurized air coming out of a turbocharger. By lowering the intake air temperature, the intercooler can improve combustion efficiency, increase power output, reduce emissions, and increase engine durability and life.

[0003] An intercooler generally includes pipes, fins, and an air collecting box. The pipes and fins are stacked to form the intercooler body. The pipes and fins are used for heat transfer, and the air collecting box is used to introduce the hot air flow generated by the supercharger into the intercooler body for cooling. The pipes and fins are generally welded, and the pipes and the air collecting box are generally connected by flanges or quick connectors. However, the traditional flange connection method is easily affected by the roughness of the flange and the tightness of the bolt connection, resulting in a decrease in sealing. Therefore, an intercooler with double sealing performance is designed based on the existing technology. Utility Model Content
