Intercooler Maintenance: Tips to Keep Your System Running Smoothly

In cars with turbocharged engines, an intercooler is a key component that cools the air entering the engine and ensures it can operate at maximum performance. Maintaining your intercooler will help to keep the whole system running smoothly, so read on for a guide to intercooler maintenance with Applied Radiators.

What is an intercooler?

An automotive intercooler helps to cool the air that enters a turbocharged engine. The automobile intercooler, which is essentially a turbocharged accessory, lowers the temperature of the high-temperature air following the turbocharged boost to lessen the engine's thermal burden and ultimately raise engine power, whilst also improving fuel efficiency.

Maintaining your intercooler

The suction fan and the wind from the automobile are used to cool the intercoolers, which are typically located in front of the engine. Inadequate intercooler in automobiles will reduce engine output and increase fuel consumption. This means that regular inspection and cleaning of your intercooler to remove debris and fluid build-up is essential. The interior of the intercooler must also be cleaned and maintained since it is frequently encrusted with debris like sludge. The best way to do this is with professional radiator servicing from a skilled and experienced team, such as the experts at Applied Radiators.
