AI Technical Summary
The integration of a water cooled intercooler into a vehicle requires significant structural changes and adds complexity to the front region, making it difficult to simplify the layout compared to air cooled intercoolers.
A radiator-intercooler integrated module is proposed, where a low-temperature radiator and a water cooled intercooler are formed as a single body, with the water cooled intercooler mounted within the exit tank of the low-temperature radiator, allowing for heat exchange between coolant and compressed air, thereby simplifying the structure and layout.
This configuration simplifies the vehicle's front region layout, reduces costs, and allows for controlled cooling efficiency without the need for extensive structural changes, enabling the use of water cooled intercoolers without the limitations of air cooled intercoolers.
