The Analysis of Engine Intake Air Cooling Device by Using Thermoelectric Module

Development of evaporative intercooler heat exchanger for vehicle charge air enhancement using CFD simulation

“…The theoretical and CFD study shows a significant thermal performance influence than the other designs of IHE presented in literature, which introduce better study range and performance for CAC influence engine operation as shown in Table 2, which presents the theoretical effect of air charge temperature on engine thermal performance and fuel consumption as presented by Yan et al [5]; Moahamad [6], the engine performance increase with a decrease in ambient temperature. Flexibility in design method introduced a significant design control scale as in case of pressure drop, which introduced a multi-scale option for designer for selection compare with other IHE designs presented by Cuong et al [21]; Richard et al [22]; Wang and Ming [23]; M. Setiyo [24] ,which didn't presented any flexibility in their design scale control. Therefore, consideration to scale size of IHE becomes an important concern in vehicle designs as mentioned by Andreas and Marco [26].…”

“…Size optimized with the capacity required, easy installation and effective in standstill or moving vehicle. The capacity compares to others is a lower cooling effect [23].…”

“…Roberts [22]; in his experiment, combined integrated the air to air IHE with evaporative cooling coil, presenting the idea of thermal capacity enhancement. Wang et al [23]; they designed the IHE by using thermoelectric solid surface presenting a new cooling technique. Optimizing the structure of the IHE designs resulted in various designs developed shapes with use of alternative mediums, depending on the cooling capacity and medium used for CAC inlet independence of the engine [24].…”
