intercooler

intercooler
Noun
pl: intercoolers

This term is primarily used in automotive engineering and thermodynamics. It describes a specific type of heat exchanger designed to lower the temperature of compressed air before it enters the combustion chamber, thereby increasing air density and improving engine performance.

In technical discussions, it is often contrasted with a radiator, which cools the engine coolant rather than the intake air. While "intercooler" is the standard technical term, it is frequently used in enthusiast circles to discuss "tuning" or "modding" forced-induction engines.

Meanings

Nounintercooler

A heat exchanger used to cool the air or gas between stages of compression in a turbocharger or supercharger to increase engine efficiency.

The mechanic installed a larger intercooler to reduce intake temperatures and boost horsepower.
